The composer of the film music proved to be the best one in Turkish film industry and created a unique style which can be even defined as a new genre of his own. The rhythm changes according to the pace of the film, but melody fits to the dramatic or cheerful scenes without changing and loss of continuity. I suggest a quick search of Cahit Berkay and Husnu Senlendirici (the clarinet) for Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalım.

Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalim (The girl with the red scarf) is a romantic drama, originally written by Chingiz Aitmatov and later directed by Atif Yilmaz. The film was released in 1978, falling under the "Postmortem Yesilcam" category. This indicates the fact that the film represents some elements that would generally be found in that time period. Some of which include the Turkish mentality in the late 1970s, the connotations of masculinity and a man's possession over his family, the reliance of Yesilcam films on the audience, where they showed the viewers what they wanted to see and what the lower and/or middle class people could relate to. As a further matter, the metaphorical elements of the political differences between one word titles and longer titles in the Yesilcam industry, illustrates the importance of politics in film as well, particularly during this time period. What unites all of these elements together, is the fact that they all relate back to the audience and would not have been as successful without such consideration. The film paints a dramatic picture of the Turkish culture within powerful emotions sending deep messages to the audience, and showing the importance of social and cultural issues which impact the Turkish mindset.

This is a story about love and faith. The author discusses the two comparable concepts based on the beautiful novel of Aytmatov.One can say many things about the technical handling of the film. But besides, the story flows slightly and fetches the viewers eyes till the end. Questions appear on mind; What love means? What does faith mean? Can love keep a couple together? Did you ever fall in love? OK, then answer this; did you ever TRY?!?... A woman with a baby stands between a one who loved too much, and another who did try his best.Sometimes life do not allow you to choose. It forces you through its own stream.Kadir Inanir and Turkan Soray starred in many films together. This film is one of their best few. Ahmet Mekin was shining, as well. You'll love the movie, if you are one of those who likes stories which sparkle questions on one's mind... And a little warning; watch out for your tears...
