Notes of What I've seen: Three Monkeys (Üç maymun)




It started with a man,Servet, ran over and killed someone with his car, and all he did to protect his political career was asked his chauffeur, Eyüp, to replace him going to prison. While Eyüp is in prison, his paycheck will be paid in cash and he’ll get big amount of money after he’s out of prison. Eyüp’s son, İsmail, who didn’t manage to get into college asked to buy a car and his mother ,Hacer, asked Servet to give her an advance on money to buy the car, and somehow they finally got into affair. İsmail knew about the affair but didn’t say anything to his dad when he visit.


After Eyüp got out of prison, he went to the office to see Servet for the big amount of money that Servet promised him, Eyüp told him to subtract the amount that İsmail took to buy the car, but Servet said that he won’t subtract the amount. Eyüp also suspicious to his wife who had a call from a male (Servet…you know where this is going..he2). Servet wanted to break up his affair with Hacer. And when Servet was killed , police called Eyüp and Hacer for interrogation and there’s where Eyüp found out about Hacer’s affair. Finally Eyüp knew that İsmail is the one who killed Servet, and he did the same thing : find a replacement for his son.

I had a headache after watch this movie, it’s like an old telenovela where they kill each other and protect each other…The difference is it is Turkish movie…he2.
They all play like 3 monkeys – play deaf, blind, numb – knowing things but pretend not knowing them to protect each other, to keep their family from tearing apart.

This is not a bad movie, the set was beautiful…and there’s one scene I remember well: when Servet wanted to break up with Hacer , (the scene was really beautiful) they met beside a lake, first it was just windy, and then along with the arguments and fights they had, the weather was slowly worsen, with thunder and all.. The weather supported the scene very well.
