Keloglan (1971)
The bald boy
28 July 2001
This movie is about the adventerues of Keloglan. Keloglan stands for "bald boy" in english. There are lots of children stories about keloglan in turkey. And the movie is as entertaining as the stories, if not more. Now about the movie. Keloglan lives with his mother in a small hut in the forest.They are so poor and keloglan always want to be rich and noble one day. But his mother does not like that kind of ideas and tells him to do his work and that he should not dream. One day he runs aways to find the padisah (king in ottoman empire) and marry his daughter. Lots of funny stuff happen to him and at the end of the movie... well thats enough. you should watch it. Rüstü asyali is good as keloglan and his voice is so bright. Espeically his intellegent jokes made me laugh. In the end of the movie his mother says something like "thats my son! you send him to buy salt, he gets the daughter of the padisah" that was funny. Watch it, if you are turkish. (ohh i was gonna forget that dwarf whose name is bicirik, he also plays in other keloglan movies. You know, keloglaan always say "im keloglan and this is my man bicirik" you will know what i mean if you know the movie =)
