PREVIOUS YILMAZ GÜNEY CONTROVERSY
Writer Murathan Mungan had previously posted on social media for the anniversary of Yılmaz Güney's death: "It is the 37th anniversary of Yılmaz Güney's death. Besides being a good director, a good actor, and a good screenwriter, he was the best-walking man in our cinema. No one else could ever touch the deepest part of our souls while looking with sadness by tilting their neck slightly to the side like he did."
Responding to Mungan's post, Farah Zeynep Abdullah had said, "Let's say the best-walking man of our cinema, and also a woman-beater, and someone who was rich and effective in terms of types of violence and weapon use."
Nur Sürer had previously stated, "It is not anyone's place to talk about Yılmaz Güney. Yılmaz Güney is a milestone of cinema, that's all. Let them do even a fraction of what he did, and then they can talk. Yılmaz Güney is our red line; that is, the red line of us filmmakers. Of course, I was hurt by these statements."
