Regards and love to cinematographer Clint Lealos!
The cinematographer of the series, Clint Lealos, told the audience from the very first minute, “What did you do master???We can say that he has done a job that will make you say. The main venue of the series is the historical Pera Palas Hotel, and therefore Istanbul, as if the image quality and shootings are so good, it is inevitable that a series with a high viewing pleasure will emerge. We claim that if we wanted you to capture a frame from this sequence; It’s impossible to decide on a single frame!
Attention! What you will read from here contains spoilers about the series.
“They go as they come” shock to the invading British!
The pot that Esra broke at the beginning, which we talked about at the beginning of the article, may actually be one of the most enjoyable scenes of the series. To the invading British who were enjoying themselves at Pera Palace Esra’s slap from the future It sits very nicely. Although Esra’s description of how Mustafa Kemal defeated the occupying forces, with great comfort on horse and horse, makes a mess in the later parts of the series, but it melts the fat from where one sits.
Tonight at the Garden Bar, our hearts are free…
Owned by the character of Halit, played by Selahattin Paşalı, Garden Bar is a candidate to be the bar of your dreams. Halit, who was probably not liked by anyone until the last few episodes, knows the job! The atmosphere inside attracts even the audience in such a way that you can find yourself standing up and accompanying the songs and dances on the Garden Bar stages. E in vain in the pastThis bar will be mine one day!”It means that he didn’t get into his triplets…
Meanwhile, Esra, dressed as Peride, appeared on the stage in 1919. They Eat You by Sezen Aksu and Britney Spears’ Ops I Did It Again If we say he should say it… Our words are really inadequate at this point!
Male-dominated 1919 got its share of the power of women!
It was very good for all of us that Esra, who was dressed as a fairy, did not submit to any man and male-dominated rule, especially her father! Esra; He prevented his father from slapping him, he chose to leave the house rather than being imprisoned at home, drove a car, went on stage… Moreover, while doing all these, he did not neglect Peride’s little daughter Leyla and warned her: ”Do you have to live according to their truth in order to belong somewhere? If you can’t be yourself, you don’t belong there anyway!’‘
Considering Hazal Kaya’s stance in normal life, Esra’s honorable stance should not be surprising. Strong and free-spirited women, exist!
We saved the most special for last…
Undoubtedly, the most special scenes of the series Mustafa Kemal PashaThose were the scenes we saw ! These scenes manage to give us goosebumps and fill our eyes every time. In the scene where Halit and Esra meet with the pasha after preventing the assassination, Esra’s gestures and facial expressions sums up everything. Especially when he couldn’t stand it and hugged it.… You have translated all of our feelings, Esra, thank you!
