Gypsy (Cigan) || Gypsy culture and drama

This time I'm going straight to the point. And what is the point? That's a good question, and one that needs an answer from my point of view.

So let's start!

2011 Czechia, Slovakia co-production Gypsy (Cigan) is directed by Martin Sulík.

The plot of the film includes the drama of a boy who has just started to step into adulthood, trying to get out of the Gypsy neighbourhood where he lives after the death of his father.

The film was nominated for many awards and received many awards in terms of what it reflects.

The reason why I say in terms of what it reflects is that the reality is completely based on the life that is tried to be maintained during watching the film. A difficult life will surely become more difficult after being treated as a second class citizen.

Unrest in the family and an unstable structure make the difficult struggle much more difficult. We know that life does not treat everyone equally and that some people start the struggle for life defeated at the very beginning of their lives. However, witnessing the lives that start directly defeated leads to feelings beyond knowing.

Many scenes in the film Gypsy remind me of the proverb "the tree bends while it is young". Whatever you show someone who is just growing up correctly, he will take it as an example for himself. Even if what is shown right is wrong! The character Adam (played by Jan Mizigar) is a man who is just entering adulthood and trying to find a place in a difficult life struggle after the loss of his father. It would not be a mistake to compare him to a sapling. A stepfather who tries to lead him down the wrong path and a priest who tries to keep him on the right path are the other elements that provide the flow.

Not being treated equally, income injustice and prejudiced looks/behaviours are other reflections of the film.

''I will go to London and there they will think that I am Pakistani and everyone there treats Pakistanis well'' is enough to explain how important it is to try to live without prejudices. In addition to all the drama and bad scenes in the film, the fact that it has a structure that reflects the Gypsy culture well offers extra flavour while giving an idea about the life there. One of the moments I enjoyed while watching the film is the scenes of life in the Gypsy culture.

And I liked Jan Mizigar's acting as Adam. Despite all the bad examples and guidance, his personality and calmness was an indication of how important anger control is. Although the last scene in the film seemed to negate what I said, the fact that he kept his calm even there and sat on the bench at the bus stop after finishing his work was worth the whole duration of the film.

If you are interested in real life dramas and how being treated as a second class citizen negatively affects lives, you should watch the film. If you want to watch action and plenty of exciting and gripping scenes, you should not watch the film and I think another feature that will be worth watching the film; It will be to see the reflections on the Gypsy culture.
