Wonderful character development!

A different way of telling a story

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Wow... I didn't know what to expect when I watched this film. I was completely blown away by the story and the experience. When I discovered that it was based upon a true story, it only kicked me that much harder.I've actually had people make comments to me about how they would love to be American after seeing a film like Air Force One. I never understood their desire until I saw this film... It made me wish I could be a Turkish soldier! I'm biased - what can I say? I have the utmost respect for the Turkish Asker. So much that I would lay down my own life to protect Turkey and each and every brother that defends her.That said - this picture is powerful and moving. Forget the attitudes experienced in main stream cinema. This movie pulls out the feelings and the pride from within, no matter what your nationality may be.It hurts to face reality of war. But imagine how the soldiers felt.

I was very surprised when i saw the rating of this film and i had very high expectations before seeing the movie.But during the movie it was so difficult for me not to fall asleep.The dialogs are also so poor. At least the actors should have been more professional.Probably the worst movie i have seen in my life.They stole my 2 hours in my life.Overrated .An Awful Movie.I highly recommend to avoid watching this poor quality movie

I was considering viewing this film UNTIL I read the reviews here!I am rating it a "5" because I learned little from these reviews, since I read at LEAST "5" that were written by the SAME PERSON and at least ONE was the SAME review with 2 different titles!I DID learn that many STUDENTS and NON-ACTORS were used in this film, and in my opinion, these people were the SAME ones that submitted MOST of these reviews, in order to skew the ratings & give the film an artificially high IMDb score!I could conclude this because of gross similarities in WRITING STYLE and CONTENT of the BULK of these reviews...THIS IS CHEATING! ...I REFUSE to watch a film that has been so artificially HYPED!I also am suspicious of all war films that show NOTHING of the OTHER side. Yes, some of these reviews admit that this is a PROPAGANDA film, and I feel there is little to learn from that type of film unless it is openly labeled as propaganda, such as Leni Reifenstal's "Triumph of the Will", not simply as a "work of art" or valid artistic expression...Where are the NON-Turkish reviews of this film? I would also like to see at least ONE Kurdish review, just for BALANCE! So I will not waste any more time on this film UNLESS I can find some OBJECTIVE OPINIONS!

I was really looking forward to this movie because of the high rating at IMDb and the promising plot. Well, i have seen many war movies, good ones and bad ones. Unfortunately "Nefes: Vatan sagolsun (The Breath)" turned out to be a rather bad movie. First thing to analyze is to judge whether this is a propaganda movie or not: It is not a obvious propaganda movie, that is for sure. But looking at IMDb comments like: "long live Turkish warriors" and others, i think it's a simplistic and unidimensional war movie. The PKK-Dudes are shown as insane suicide bombers, evil misanthropists. There is no word about what caused this conflict. Another thing i must state is that this is not a anti-war-movie. I could explain that in words, but i strongly recommend everyone in the world to watch : "Hotaru no haka (Grave of the Fireflies". Then you will know why most of the so called "anti-war-movies" are not what they are trying to be.Well, there isn't everything bad about the movie. The acting is OK.I also liked some of the pictures like the scenes with the clouds. The characters could have been interesting, i mean their development in solitude. Problem is that i've seen lots of movies that to exactly that in a better way. In this movie i never really care for any of the characters. Well that's it. I don't want to disrupt you folks in your excessive nationalism, so just keep rating this as 10/10
