Mustang, in real

Horrible movie.

There were very absurd scenes and many logical errors that I couldn't stand watching.
First of all, these movie supposed to present a small village in northern east but all the five girls look/act/talk like they come from a luxury area from Istanbul. Turks can see the absurdness in here but I guess it is hard to follow from a foreigner's eyes..

Another scene, a virginity control from a male doctor in village is simply IM-PO-SIB-LE.

Another scene, teaching how to cooking (to be more spesific how to make sarma rolls) was absurd. Since when we are having cooking101 lesson in Turkey?

Another scene, make girls wear nun style clothes was again so unreal.

Everybody in this movie talks with pure İstanbul accent. But where the movie takes place is northern east Turkey, a small village where people have strong karadeniz accent. (especially in a village) so this is like they take a movie in a small village in Taiwan but everybody talks with pure Beijing accent.

The girls in this movie is so rebel. Girls from a northern east of Turkey again a village girls wont act like this. I cant even imagine that. They act so confident ,feminist and strong. I really couldnt imagine that *blue screen*

So this movie is full of exaggeration? No. Actually some part of Turkey is very conservative and families are strict towards their daughters. But the way they represent this in that movie is so unreal. They could pick more real girls for that with real atmosphere. I think director had no experience living in a small village of Turkey but just observed a few weeks and decide to shoot the movie with a lot of exaggeration.
