A unique documentary drama that beautifully and figuratively reveals the philosophy and strategy of boxing, on the one hand, and naturalistically, on the other. The story of the preparation for the fight of the famous Turkish boxer Berkay Varol makes athletes and actors (which is an interesting format in itself!) think about the power of aggression and fear, honesty and sentimentality in boxing. "Wherever you direct the concentration of your mind, your body will follow." The monologues of the participants seem to argue and at the same time complement each other and enliven the plot.
I understand why the filmmakers involved actors in the dialogue. And why the actors are members of the Bujin Club. Boxing is akin to acting. It involves deep inner work, training the body and mind, rehearsals, and a result that motivates you to take the next step and embrace a new role. The unity lies in the fact that boxing or acting is about life. It's about finding yourself, overcoming fears, and making mistakes. And since Kerem Bursin is one of the characters in the film, it's especially valuable to hear his perspective. Staying true to himself, Bursin talks about how important it is to devote every minute of your life to what you love. There is no second chance. Fate is generous. We only notice those that resonate with our souls. If you don't pursue what interests you, what will you do in this life? There is nothing better than being in your element.
This is not a scripted text. This is the foundation that allows an actor with excellent physical fitness and a special, well-thought-out approach to sports to be successful in various areas of his life.
The film is remarkable, extraordinary, and full of positive energy, captivating, leading, and keeping you engaged.
