S messaged me during his work day if I wanted to watch movie and I enthusiastically said yes. With his complete opposite of my type of movie genre, I should have known to consider more carefully. When he sent me the trailer, I was thinking oh no.... not again.. Those gloomy disaster type of film. But he corrected me saying this is based on true story and one of the reasons why Turkey and Japan has such good relation with each other. One of the movie I am to understand without bombing S with questions after walking out the theatre since Japanese ex navy doctor can speak English and Japanese subtitles were shown when the Turkish actors appeared.
Touching and sad at the same time with bulk of the 500 over Turkish navy perished in the Japanese sea disaster and the Japanese fishermen from a small village risked their lives to save the remaining back in 1890. Then the scene fast forward to 1985, when Japanese were stranded in Iran airport and Turkish people who were fighting to board the last departure flight allowed the Japanese to take the plane instead. S said that even till now, the small village (now called Kushimoto) continued to be visited by the Turkish officials.
wrong focus but he was so handsome without his moustache. |
the actor reminded me of my handsome Turkey tour guide. |
