Demirkubuz seems like being aware of the place of gates in life. We all open and close many doors throughout our lives. 'Masumiyet' begins with an appearance of the manager's gate and we see Guven Kirac who offers a satisfactory performance. And 'Kader' is closed with a half-open door where Bekir grasps that 'this is his destiny'. It is impossible for Bekir to close the door opened by Ugur on the day at the carpet store.

The audience may capture many details based on 'gates'. Now I want to talk about the spectacular preaching of Ugur with which she takes our breath for a while. At the motel room, Ugur warns Yusuf about the destiny waiting for him. But as Bekir does, Yusuf ignores this warning because he is already taken over by love.

See this movie, then 'Kader' (or the reverse if you like a chronological telling).

Sibel Guner really tries to be happy! Through her struggle we all see how near and far happiness is! Her sexual life that seems to be without sentimentalism is a key for us to receive the deep inside her heart. After her one night stand affair,she smiles walking down the street,she restarts life with her hopes in heart everyday again and again. We watch her walking in the slow motion,this is also a very useful technical detail to show what a beautiful smile she has that reflects her soul! And thank you Faith Akin,this is a very sincere and charming work that doesn't need any complex plot! It is hard to define something as perfect,but 'Gegen Die Wand' is a must see movie!
