“Pressure” Puts on the Pressure
Pressure is an unambiguously great movie, lead by convincing performances, a well-crafted script, good direction, and at least some social awareness.
Mustafa
Mustafa's childhood, his dream of becoming a soldier that gradually took root in his mind, and his journey to achieve this dream inspire 8-year-old Kemal, who lives in the present day. Mustafa's story is told through the words of Kemal's 85-year-old grandfather, Arif. Kemal, who wants to become an astronaut when he grows up, is presented as a child whose dreams are not supported by his family. Kemal's parents want him to set goals he can achieve so that he will not be disappointed in the future, but even though Kemal begins to agree with them in some ways, he cannot give up his dream of becoming an astronaut. Kemal's mother senses her son's unhappiness and sends him to his grandfather. When Arif, listening to his grandson, begins to tell the story of Mustafa Kemal, Kemal finds himself in the world of a child who, like him, has a great dream and, like him, seems unlikely to achieve it.
