Review of Kibar Feyzo

This movie is the best example for a movie which describes the severe situations behind the mask of fun. You laugh as hell and you see what people suffered quite a couple of decades ago. A perfect dilemma of joy and sorrow. Even the sadness of the last scene is soothed with lead actor, faithful departed Kemal Sunal's (RIP) skillful role-playing. He is an expert. So sad he passed away early. So, this is a funny movie and I'd like to quote some funny parts of it. (If you did not watch the film, still you can read.) The funniest thing about this movie is the "dismissals" of Feyzo. At that time, husband should pay quite a lot money to bride's family. Feyzo and Bilo want Gulo like hell. Exploiting this situation, Gulo's father opens an auction between two husband options. Feyzo do not have enough money to pay her father to marry Gulo but finally, he gives the highest bid which he can not afford at once: He agrees with father of Gulo to make equal payments. Aga is the lord of the domain, and Feyzo also persuades Aga as the insurer of his payments. Kibar Feyzo means Kind Feyzo. He likes being modern and everything. He wears a white hat in the wedding, which is same as Aga's, which drives Aga crazy. He dismisses Feyzo at once and he goes to City. He works in the city and when the payment is due, Aga sends him a letter to come back (since he is the insurer and don't want to pay money himself.). But when he comes, he needs just a few bucks and he builds a public toilet in the village. People of the village wonders that "new" entity in their village and make a queue. Just after Feyzo fulfills the payment, Aga comes. He writes on the toilet at once "free for Aga". Aga asks "what is this?" and he says "this is a public toilet, 5 bucks for pee, 10 bucks for poo, free for you" then Aga says, "I'll poo, and then some other one poo just over my poo, are you crazy. Have you ever seen in your life "a poo over Aga's poo". And he orders the toilet to be destroyed and sacks Feyzo again. Feyzo in the city again, there he learns about worker unions, strikes and all. He learns that in the city, no girl is "for sale", too. When the next payment is due, he summoned again and this time he tells many things to villagers, which Aga don't like at all and bans him from the city. Feyzo, who needs to work in the city to pay the next payment, but banned, tries to make himself sacked. However Aga won't let him go. He makes many funny things in this period, which he wants Aga to sack him. He writes "tyrant Aga (Faso Aga)" on the wall, which Feyzo also do not know the exact meaning, but somehow heard in the worker union meetings as "Tyrant employer". Again Aga asks what it means an Feyzo answers in a very funny manner in Turkish: It's something like faggot, something like pimp... It is one of the most funniest works of Turkish film-making history. But it also draws a perfect picture of the situation in eastern Turkey in 70's. This film is a phenomenon. A "must-be- seen"
