This Is Orhan Gencebay //top\\ -
Unlike American action heroes who solve problems with fists, Gencebay's characters solve problems with tears and philosophical monologues. There is a famous scene where the villain beats him bloody, and instead of fighting back, Gencebay pulls out his saz and sings about the futility of violence. In Western cinema, he would lose. In Turkish culture, he wins the moral universe.
— the anti-Rambo. He taught generations that crying is not weakness; it is the ultimate form of strength. this is orhan gencebay
