Turkish melodramas have been known in the world since the second half of the last century. They impress with exotic oriental traditions, emotional richness, expressive play of actors.
Turkish melodramas have passed their development path, gradually gaining popularity. In addition to their own viewer, they gained popularity among the Slavs, Europeans, as well as representatives of Latin American countries.
The development of Turkish drama cinema
The greatest Turkish director is Muhsin Ertugrul. His paintings are based on popular novels and plays by both Turkish and world writers. Most often, he shot melodramas based on works of love. His film based on the story of Alexander Green about the girl Aysel, who lives on the seashore, conquered the Turkish women.
At the initial stage, Turkish melodramas described the tragedy of a disenfranchised woman who is forced to exist in the conditions of traditional Turkish society. Women who are trying to change their lives in a society with feudal survivals are not recognized by anyone in this world and more often than not obey it or take their own life.
Later, the series about the poor became popular. Heroes moved from villages to big cities, but at the same time they had to maintain moral standards.
The next stage in the development of melodramas is the creation on the screen of the image of a corrupt woman who is rejected by society and is on the edge of the abyss. This period is considered a turning point for Turkish drams.
Modern Turkish melodramas still raise the deep moral and social aspects of human life. To this is increasingly being added the interethnic issue of traditions and upbringing, which stands in the way of the happiness of heroes loving each other.
A distinctive feature of Turkish melodrama
Turkish TV shows reveal the deep meaning of social life. All this happens against the backdrop of developing love relationships between the characters. There is also a conflict in melodrama that exists in Turkish culture. Namely, the confrontation in the soul of the heroine between free choice and the traditions of society, which dictates its moral standards.
The reasons for the popularity of Turkish TV shows among the Slavs
Slavs always attracted fairy tales of the East. This can be seen in folk art and classical literature. Perhaps that is why Slavic women like Turkish films (melodramas) like that.
The paintings describe the specific life of people living on the southern side of the Black Sea. She is very attractive and not without charm. It’s unusual for many viewers that the storyline is very time-stretched. However, this happens in case of great success of the series.
Turkish spectators about love attract many viewers with their pathos scenes, exaggerated emotions, and excessive drama even in ordinary life situations. And this is not a game of actors, but the real behavior of the Turks. The people of Turkey are really very emotional. They sharply react to external factors and do not seek to hide their emotional experiences. This is so often in communication is not enough for residents of European countries.
In the Turkish film industry, various projects are being created. The most popular in the world are melodramas, historical and military films. They are also different in quality. But only successful projects enter the world market , so Turkish melodramas in Russian should be viewed first.
