Blog Post #5

I thought this would be a good gif to make and present because it is one of the first times we see the young character of Cenk learning a little bit about cultural identity. He is the only child in the classroom who’s home city doesn’t lay on the European map, and he is obviously upset and even made fun of for this (you can see in his reaction after the teacher puts him on the blank wall). This starts the issue/question of cultural identity that sticks around through the whole film, not only with Cenk. This here is where the German/Turkish identity question starts to come into play basically.
