Frequent, lengthy Turkish dialogue without translation to reinforce the sense of alienness and otherness, when in fact Billy is the alien to this land. The tension, the burning, the torment, the heat, the lengthy and even the joy are there , and they are all in place, but at the end of the film, it is inevitable to ask questions. Apart from telling the audience that Turkey is very corrupt, corrupt and arrogant, does it have more thought about this incident? In the sense of film aesthetics, Midnight Express in 1978 can easily surpass Shawshank Redemption in 1994, but its text is only presented, and its depth is greatly reduced. Shawshank's 16-year-old prison film could have become a classic. buried.
