Beş Vakit

"Beş Vakit" means "five times" in Turkish, which means that Muslims pray five times a day, so the image of time is clearly expressed in the film, not only "noon" and "night" and other words, and many times the scene of the call to the salute, especially the call to the salute from the minaret of the tallest building in the village, and the omer praying on the edge of the cliff. The story unfolds slowly over time, and the three children change quietly. Watching this movie really made me feel the concept of time and the wind, I felt like I was in the ground a lot of the time, the smell in the air and the whole atmosphere seemed to surround me... It's
really a good movie A film that reacts to the psychology and changes of a boy's growing up period
