Tosun Pasa (1976)

This is what I call comedy. Acting, screenplay, supporting roles, all of them are perfectly matching. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen are very well known actors in Turkey. Unfortunately, Kemal Sunal passed away couple of years ago. He was very famous with his comedies. Sener Sen is still acting, he is a 1st class actor. I believe if he have lived in US he would easily have got couple of Oscars, he has amazing acting skills both in comedies and dramas. You should most definitely watch his movie, "Eskiya", which was a drama. It is sad that some movies like "Tosun Pasa" have not been known in the international movie industry. I like European movies better, because I think they have a soul not just special effects.

Fmovies: If someone says I can watch a movie 5-10 times a year of course you don't believe. But this film makes it true. In Turkey there is no one who doesn't know Tosun Pasha. When you are a child you watch and laugh at the performers (especially Kemal Sunal, Sener Sen facial expressions) ,then after years you realize the film is satirical by many ways.Every time you watch the movie you can realize a different point.But it is sad many of the performers in this film are not between us.Yavuz Tugrul is a good film writer,still making good films and day by day he is getting better.I'm impatient to watch his last film Gonul Yarasi.

Sometimes I think maybe we are overestimating the quality of the movies like this and the featuring actors such as Kemal Sunal or Sener Sen as we are originated in the same country as where these masterpieces are produced. But it doesn't take so long for me to deny that.

Look at how Sener Sen transforms from a serious man into a troll face, without making you think he's acting well. He doesn't act in truth, he becomes the character he plays. And he is just one of the actors who can do that in this movie.

All the other great actors and a perfect scenario get together and become this wonderful movie. I wish everyone knew Turkish as much as they could understand the movie.

Tosun Pasa fmovies. This movie is one of the best movies of Turkey. Like "Sabanoglu Saban" and "Süt Kardesler" Halit Akçatepe, Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen showed superb performance. If you want to laugh just watch one of these tree movie. These tree actors really great actors. also Ertem Egilmez (The director of the movie) is a great director. So the product of these actors and director of course will be the best.. The events between two important families "Telliogullarý" and "Seferogullarý", Their struggle for "green valley" was told. The intelligent! man Sener Sen try to get Green walley by introduce Kemal Sunal, the male servant of telliogullarý family, as Tosun Pasha. However, Tosun Pasha is the most powerful Pasha of the Palace.

I think most of the Turkish people are agree with me that tosun paþa is the one of the best films in turkey. First of all in the film there are lots of great players like kemal sunal,sener sen,adile nasit,aysen gruda..etc. They are great players who were played usually in comedy films which become classics like süt kardeþler,gulyabani and davaro. And film scenario was written by yavuz turgul who directed eskiya,muhsin bey and golge oyunu. Well they are great movies too. Finally words cannot be enough to describe the greatness of this great film,you have to watch this film.(but i think its DVD is not on the sell)

It is hard to explain my feelings about that movie. However, it is easy to say that it is the best comedy made in Turkey, with no doubt. Kemal Sunal ans Sener Sen, who are the best two actors of Turkey, was reached the highest point of their acting career by this movie. The strange part of the movie is that you can easily find new funny pieces even though you saw it hundred times already. Another is that my father me and probably my son find something to love this movie. This is a movie that anyone from different ages, different social statue, etc. can love and define it as the best Turkish movie that they have seen. Moreover, in my view, foreign people could laugh on it with a well translation.
