Menekşe ile Halil: A Leap into the Sublime!

"Menekşe ile Halil" is just about another masterpiece where Kivanç Tatlitug has the lead role, a responsibility that he fulfilled simply brilliantly.

This should come as no surprise, knowing the qualified potential of this young yet so professional actor. Kivanç has indeed proved once more that he is endowed with talent and that he is inherently capable of artistic accomplishment.

The story is quite original, in the sense that it does not fall into the category of classical love stories. It is about a sweet, tender, beautiful romance which is even very close to transcendental love if we dare say so. The kind of love between the partners is so profound, strong, yet pure and almost spiritual. This might sound a bit unusual in a contemporary world, yet Kivanç's acting skills succeeded in conveying such human and universal feelings so splendidly. His amazing (and so professinal) facial expressions, the intensity of his look, his incredible emotional sensibility, his mastery of different moods, all managed to uplift the viewer and take him to a world of stirring emotions where etrenal love and ever-lasting peace prevail.

The whole story is in fact based on an oscillatory cycle which alternates sadness and joyfulness successively in a melodramatic way. What is stiking throughout the series is again Kivanç' performance, as he manages to switch from romance to anger, or sadness or fight so easily and naturally. His tears would fall and you wouldn't be able to hold back yours. In particular, and besides the sentimenal moments that he played, some scenes are also mind-blowing like when he kept running for a long long distance (when he discovered that his girlfriend got married) or when he fell on his knees, crying so desperately and recalling the little kid that he was and who still misses his beloved mom. Those two scenes, and many more, display a tormented soul, broken and ravaged by the injustices of life, the soul of such a delicate, sensitive, loving, and generous human being.

This magical dimension in Menekşe ile Halil is definitely what makes the series so special. The reincarnation of the hero into an angel in the final scenes is not only touching and profoundly moving, it is highly suggestive as well. Values and feelings come to acquire a wholly new meaning and to be made purer, deeper, and more genuine. In this process, though, distinguished thanks should go to Kivanç in the first place for having grasped the message of the series so finely, and transmitting it to us in such a beautiful, super, and captivating way!!! Chapeau bas, Kivanç Tatlitug!!!
