It is generally hard for me to like a film and often harder to watch it without getting bored... However Ben Gri is an exception for sure!
Some films tell stories related to politics. Indeed life itself is like politics. We make choices and face power struggles in everyday life…
Big Brother is one of the fictional characters in the novel Nineteen Eighty Four (1984) written by George Orwell. In the novel, Big Brother is the mysterious dictator of the Oceania country, which is ruled by a totalitarian regime at the most advanced stage. In this country, the ruling party exerts great pressure on the people for its own interests.
Foucault used the concept of “Panopticon” to explore the relationship between the systems of social control and people in a disciplinary situation and the power-knowledge concept. In his view, power and knowledge comes from observing others. Panopticon is also known as an architectural design put forth by Jeremy Bentham in the mid-19th Century for prisons, insane asylums, schools, hospitals, and factories.
Related with the concepts above, a really fluent story is told in the series of Ben Gri (Me, Gray) produced by Disney+.
Ben Gri tells the story of Fuat (Timuçin Esen), a respected lawyer whose life changes after a tragic incident that happened to his daughter. Fuat receives a mysterious online message. This message causes Fuat to face the darkness within himself.
