Mine Vaganti (Serseri Mayınlar)

I first heard about this movie two years ago while watching a cultural program of CNN. MINE VAGANTI (LOOSE CANNON -in Turkish- SERSERİ MAYINLAR). This movie is an Italian comedy, drama and romance movie. So far everything is okay but something attracted me about this movie. Its director is a Turkish man. It's not just an Italian movie so I decided to watch it and I didn't regret because while watching the movie, the pronunciation of Italian appealed to me. Also, I liked the actor Riccardo Scamarcio(Tommaso) and started to watch his other films. As I continued to watch, I decided to learn Italian and as the second foreign language I choose Italian in my department. If we come to movie, its plot is about an conservative Catholic Italian family which has been operating its own pasta factory since 1960s. There is a grandmother called ''the loose cannon of the family'' who gives beautiful messages about life throughout the movie, a father who is a little bit strict and minding what other people think about his family, a peaceful wife and two gay brothers. The problem in this movie is about these brothers' sexual preference. The family -except the grandmother- doesn't want to accept their sons' situations and then following events come. The sons expect their family to accept them as they are but it's hard for such a family. This plot is like a Turkish culture-based plot because there would be almost no one among Turkish people who would like their children to be heterosexual. I find this movie little bit funny, a bit sad but meaningful. At the end of the movie, Sezen Aksu's song ''Kutlama'' is placed in a scene of wedding-like celebration so it's called as a present to Turkish people. To summarize, the flow of this movie is little bit slow but the story is worth watching...
