The White Boy Saved Us All Again in Gladiator II
A direct fall into the white savior narrative

The film is about Gamze and Haldun's love that continues despite all obstacles. Gamze and her twin sister Nazan are students at the conservatory. They both fall in love with Haldun, whom they meet during this period. Although Haldun is initially interested in Gamze, he later marries Nazan. Gamze leaves Istanbul to forget her love. Nazan, tired of Haldun, is having a secret affair with Memduh. Nazan dies in a traffic accident while trying to escape to Europe with Memduh. On the same day, Haldun mistakes Gamze for Nazan when he sees her. Gamze tries to explain the truth, but Haldun refuses to listen to her. Years later, they have a baby named Harun. Meanwhile, Memduh has returned from Europe and, mistaking Gamze for Nazan, has set out to find her. Gamze, trying to save her family, agrees to meet with Memduh to explain everything. When Haldun enters the room during the meeting, he misunderstands everything.

“Trust your gut" is one of the most common pieces of advice you’ll receive during your lifetime. And as a person inclined to trust my intuition above all else, it’s the most common advice I find myself giving in real life and in my online socialising. But what happens when your gut is trying to warn you that something is seriously wrong without you being able to identify what triggered it in the first place? How can you act on a feeling or make it go away when you don’t have a clue about what could be wrong? How can you trust your intuition when you don’t know what makes it act out in the first place?
It's not love. It's Obsession. The hook of this movie is the tension between wanting to be loved and the fear of being all-encompassed by that love. It plays on men’s typical (though certainly not universal) inner-conflict
“Unsung” does not begin to describe the obscurity Bayard Rustin endured in the shadows of the Civil Rights Movement
James Cameron’s The Terminator (1984) marks the beginning of a wonderful two-part arc, brimming with style and substance. The film follows Sarah Connor, a waitress living in Los Angeles. One night, a cybernetic organism (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent back in time to kill Sarah. A human resistance fighter (Michael Biehn) is also sent back in time, with the intent of saving Sarah from this deadly foe.
The power to function. As people, we are richly blessed to have the wide ranging scope of what we can accomplish…physically and mentally…that aid in everything we desire to strive for and, ideally, accomplish. However, what if someone was experiencing daily life with these elements….only in a more muted manner?
