An ode to The Beatles!

This movie it’s a roller-coaster of songs and funny situations with a great twist towards the end!

If you enjoy the over the top Beatles songs, if you enjoy almost 2h of a pleasant movie, go watch it!

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

What a beautiful, funny and heart-whelm movie this one is!

It’s the second time a Turkish movie touched me in a way this one did! Turkish movies are ready to overtake the World with its purity and amazing performances!

It’s a story about a teacher, and also an ode to teachers, who got to go to a village in the middle of nowhere and the miracle brought by all!

A must-watch, funny, real and brings a sense of warmth, of happiness, of humanity that enriches our hearts!

Miracle!!!

Caño Cristales, a river that fled from Paradise

Caño Cristales is a river called “the most beautiful in the World”. It was even called “the river that escaped from Paradise”!
It is located in the Sierra de la Macarena, in the National Park and municipality of the same name, in the departments of Meta, Colombia.
It is a short river, only 100km, and with a 20m wide channel, hence, according to the traditional language of the region, it is called a pipe.
The river also called the 5 colors, take this pigmentation because the stones are covered with moss and algae.
Yellow, blue, green, black and red, are five scandalous (vibrant) colors, which are explained by the presence of algae of different colors that make this canyon a visual wonder.
The color red is due to a plant called Macarenia clavigera.
When the water level reaches the sweet spot, the moss and the algae bloom with bright colors, giving its character to the river.
The rocks over which the river speaks, generate small circular pools called giant pans, which have been caused by the impact of some harder material.
When deposits of material are produced or the rock lasts within a slight concavity, the turbulence of the water creates a swirl…
…that makes it spin together with this hard material in suspension, producing strong abrasion and even digging puddles.
The best time of year to visit the rivers is during the Summer from June to November, as the colors turn out to be the most intense, as a result of the rains.

#WOW

This movie it’s almost pitch perfect… It is based on real events and that only makes the film get more grandeur!

Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali performances it’s what brings this story to life!

The power one has to try and change society a bit makes us wonder that we all have a part to make things work different or better…

And the friendship between this two so different men it’s overwhelming!

Thank you!

OK, I’ve finally seen this unique Turkish film!

When it came out, there was a hype and everybody was talking about it, saying how good it was, how they’ve cried and how they got heartfelt by it… And so I said to myself, “maybe your expectations are too high, so it’s better to wait”… And that’s what I did…

And so, like so many things in our life, it was a bit forgotten…

But yesterday I’ve had time, and I was searching for a movie to watch, on a Friday night, in confinement… And surprise, surprise, the film found me, because it resonated in my head and I went to search for it!

Truth be told, it’s all people were saying and much more… The actors were splendid, pitch perfect performance for Aras Bulut Iynemli, Celile Toyon Uysal and most of the cast…

And the story is overwhelming, heartfelt, intense, raw, sad, happy… So many adjectives and not as many as I can remember… You really, really, really have to watch it!

The landscapes are amazing, the soundtrack is so cute… Sigh!

Words are not enough, viewing it and feeling it, it’s the best way to truly understand this moving story!

Teşekkürler
