MIDNIGHT EXPRESS - Trailer ( 1978 )

[delavalmilker]

In 1976-1977 I was an American high school exchange student in Turkey. I want to tell everyone that the Turks are NOTHING like depicted in this film! Every Turk I met was kind, generous, and overwhelmingly friendly and hospitable---especially to a shy 17 year old American boy like myself. My host family treated me as a member of the family. After I saw this movie, I was so mortified that I wrote my Turkish host family how embarassed and ashamed I was that Hollywood could make this film.

Foi o primeiro filme que assisti em video cassete, em 1984. Tinha 12 anos na época.

Sou fã deste filme e meu sonho é conhecer a Turquia.

A trilha é formidável.

Also, The language used in the movie is NOT proper Turkish. It sounds like an Armenian or a Greek people speaking in Turkish. No offense to those people though. Its just the accent sounds like that. But definitely NOT proper Turkish. It was filmed in Malta as well. So stupid every American I meet asks about the movie and thinks it really happened that way. Even Oliver Stone and Brad Hayes said movie is NOT telling the truth

Later, both Oliver Stone and Billy Hayes expressed their regret on how Turkish people were portrayed in the movie

Midnight Express is a 1978 American film directed by Alan Parker. It is based on Billy Hayes' book, also titled Midnight Express, that was adapted into the screenplay by Oliver Stone. Hayes was a young American student sent to a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The movie deviates from the book's accounts of the story, especially in its portrayal of Turks, and some have criticized the movie version, including Billy Hayes himself.
