Turkish Movie

This week Gokhan promoted we’ve learned a lot abstract stuff, it is time switch to something new. So he made us a watch Turkish movie, Bablum vs Oglum, in English it is My Father and My son. Gokhan let us to watch the movies with double subtitles, Turkish and English, he said by watching a movie, we can have a better knowledge how the words we covered in class are used in a real life setting.The story is about how a family is torn apart by a Turkish coup in 1980. A really moving movie. To make sure we are learning Turkish rather than merely watching the movie. Gokhan will pause the movie and ask us questions about the plots. And he would write down the words we covered in class which appeared in the movie. It is a great way to review the stuff we learned in class. We did not have enough time to finish the movie in class so I finished watching in my spare time. I was really touched by this movie. And I had a a much better and vivid understanding of modern Turkish history. Peace is precious. And I really hope Turkey can have a peaceful ear ever since.
