Merve Dizdar, who won the Palme d'Or in the 'Best Actress' category at the 76th Cannes Film Festival for her character Nuray, played by the famous director Nuri Bilge Ceylan in the movie 'Kuru Otlar Üstüne', went down in cinema history as the first Turkish woman to win this award.
The successful player who took a breath in Turkey after receiving his award went to Kadıköy High School yesterday to use the game in the second round of the election. Dizdar, who was greeted with applause, was also on the world agenda.
'TURNED TO A POLARIZED TURKEY'
According to the news in Diken, Reuters, in its news titled "The best actress in Cannes returned to a polarized Turkey on the day of the second round election", said, "Dizdar faced both congratulations from his fans and harsh criticism. This situation reveals the extreme polarization in the country.”
'DIZDAR DID NOT STEP BACK'
Reminding that Dizdar's award speech drew the reaction of the ruling wing, Reuters noted the following regarding the statements of İbrahim Uslu, Deputy Chairman of the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), targeting Dizdar:
The speech drew contempt from Erdogan's allies and Turkish officials. İbrahim Uslu, vice-president of RTÜK, which oversees the televisions, accused Dizdar of undermining Turkey. Dizdar did not back down.
RESPONSE TO CRITICISM FROM DIZDAR
Speaking to Reuters, Dizdar responded to the criticism as follows:
The country where I was born, the women here, we all have a struggle, it exists here and around the world. We know how hard it is to be a woman, and I gave a talk about it.
In the movie, Dizdar, who plays the character of Nuray, who lost a part of her leg in the Ankara station massacre, presented her award to “all fighting spirits waiting to experience the good days they deserve in Turkey”.
Dizdar's speech in its entirety is as follows:
The character of Nuray, whom I play in the movie, is a woman who struggles for what she believes in and for her existence and has to pay a price for this cause. I would like to work for a long time to get to know and understand her, but unfortunately, being a woman in the geography I live requires knowing the feelings of Nuray and Nurays by heart since the day I was born. In order to give strength to the struggle of Nuray and women like her; I present to all my sisters who do not bow down to those who are deemed worthy of them and take action, who risk everything for this cause and who do not give up hope no matter what, and to all struggling spirits waiting to experience the good days they deserve in Turkey.
