Watch Fig Jam For Free

Simply Perfect

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I watched this movie for about 4 times. At the final scene of each end, i cannot keep myself crying. This is because of the male main actor; he cries very real. Throughout the movie, there are some striking phrases that make the movie interesting and somehow deep. It focuses on love while the focus on the loneliness of people with AIDS is also there. The movie is informative on the possible causes of the disease and gives a strong input and insight to the relevant physicians. For example; you cannot know if a taxi driver suddenly opens the window. This phrase mean nothing to many of us. But for those with AIDS, this may cause them to get flu and die because of this flu.The misunderstanding, regrets, collapse, recovery, love without sex, common memories, views of Istanbul.. everything was nice. It also reminded me of my university years in Ankara and Istanbul. This movie is a must see movie that clearly shows the real lives of many people in the relatively developed parts of my country. I also liked the second movie but the love in this movie was so strong that I could not feel the same with the other movie.

I have read other reviews about the film. Well, we cannot claim that it's the best movie ever, it's understandable but It's not possible to understand how some people reviewed it as a bad or low quality movie!! Probably, they had some jealousy issues with the director or some of the actors playing in the movie.. The film is simple, but so beautiful. It's not a complicated story to understand, but simplicity makes it so nice to watch. Until the last minute you don't know how the film's gonna end. A nice romantic, love movie that contains some humors also. Highly recommended! If you like love movies that tells some impossible love stories you will like for sure!

After I have read the reviews above I have to say that first I didn't find the film sexist and I don't believe that the director supports the behavior of the leading male actor. I prefer to see it like there are men who behave like Metin, and the director chosen to make a movie which includes one of those men. I can criticize acting also, some scenes are really over theatrical (the doorman and the shoes for instance or sidekick of Metin character and even in some scenes including Metin ( Sezai Paraciklioglu) ). But I really like to see characters who drink beer and tequila in a bar instead of raki in the name of underlining Turkish Identity or red wine to underline the "intellectual artist" figure. Besides catching fish and making raki-fish lunch, putting a bowl for leaking chimney is nice choices to make everything real in such a "fantastical" romance. Usually Turkish directors have an intention to exaggerate scenes of love and sadness with slow motion effects, high pitch music, but the directors choice in İncir reçeli was too naïve as in the scenes of cigarette burn in the tea shop, kiss int the bus stop, rose petals on the floor and etc. time pass effects were also successful. So shortly I believe it is a perfect 8 with all goods and bads.

The film was a good try, but needed a lot of work. I think that, had it been more comic-faithful. It could have been difficult for non-comic readers to get into. As an emotional film, it's perfectly fine. Fig Jam is a movie 'shown value'. Before, I did not want to watch this movie.Like me too, you will not want to watch this bored movie. You will be bored in the beginning of the film. But the patience to follow the film. At the end of the movie your emotions do not listen to you. Make sure you get a handkerchief with you before the start of the movie, because at the end of the film certainly it will work. Turks began to pull away a good movie. Cheap but great, strike scenario. Whos do not like fig jam, immediately start to love, the better. Until now, this is the most beautiful films which I watched..
