What i'm searching?

I don't remember if i explained why i'm here.
i'm here cause i want talking, cause i want continue my film, cause i love Istanbul, cause i'm agree that Turquie enter in the EU, cause i want people in my country know more about the turkish people, and for that i need to know more about them, cause i'm worry about the polemics about the enter of turquie in the UE, i want to know how the turks receive all these news( not so good). In france the most of the politics are so hipocrite, and the peolple doesn't know really what to think, cause there is no information . For exemple : before i came in istanbul, few people ask me if i must wear the voile, incredible!but true!
It's the same reaction like the american who ask us if we have the TV or the metro....the ignorance is the worst desease of the world (one of a lot..)
In my short movie, i decide to see this town by the way of the sight of 6 women. But i didn't stay enought time to get good relations with them and to have good interviews, except my friends there.
It's just the beguining, but i like to read this forum, and certainly i would propose a subject to talk.
Sorry for my english, it's not so good..

that's really awesome Nelson! I was in france last week for a holiday and the anti-turkey movement is raging there. misconceptions, intolerance and blatant ignorance makes 70% french people refuse to imagine turkey entering europe.
it drives me crazy. no amount of debating (intelligently or not) could sway this convinced mindset. i just threw camembert at my opponents in the end (low patience threshold for stupidity).
Enfin voila. je suis moitie turque, moitie francaise donc tu peux imaginer la passion qui m'anime dans tous ces debats.
bonne chance avec ton documentaire! j'aimerais voir le produit fini. et puis si tu as besoin de quoi que ce soit a partir d'istanbul, n'hesite pas!

Hey selin thanks for your help.
I see your understand why i want do something. Ignorance is the worst disease .
I'm not turkish,but i liked istanbul very much when i stayed 2 months there. And over my feelings for this land, the polemic interests me very much, all these repercutions who could touch the europe. In this world context (usa vote) how the europeens react in front of the widening with turkey. You know in france the young peolpe don't say to much about politic, but since the last vote for our president (), the young peole will vote for the most of elections. And they keep interest of the world politic . There is exception of course, like for every thing, but i can say the young people is open about the idea of the Turkey's enter in EU. They are agree.
they want know more of this big country : Turkey! It's crasy but the peolpe doesn't know a lot of Turkey. And they are curious now.
But something nice : now you could watch turkish movies in cinema festival ( this week in montpellier one won the 1st price), we speak about the turkish autors, ect, the french culture moved for your country, to make it known. It's very positive,but i hope more.
merci selin. si on faisait avancer les idées?

[selin]

avancer les idees... comment puis-je t'etre de service? je connais bcp de jeunes turcs qui sont tres interesses par la politique mondiale, europeenne, turque, problemes de femmes, minorites etc. malheureusement ils ne font pas forcement parti de la majorite de la jeunesse ici, mais il y a tout de meme un mouvement de changement assez fort selon moi.
quand penses-tu revenir en turquie?

[Nelson]

Je pense revenir, enfin j'espère pour les vaccances de Noël, 2 semaines, mais pour le moment rien n'est moins sûr. C'est vraiment bien ce que tu me propose!! et c'est vrai que j'ai tendance à regarder les problèmes au travers des yeux des femmes. C'est une chose pas trés courante. Je ne fais pas non plus de sexisme, attention, je le combat. Mais je trouve interressant de voir les idées et les pensées, au travers d'un regard feminin. Cela donne une autre idée des société et souvent une autre bien differente. C'est aussi une histoire de progrés et de modernisme que de voir l'intégration des femmes. Mais je ne veux être sectaire. Bien au contraire.
Mais peut être vaudrait-il mieux parler en anglais dans ce forum! Même si mon anglais laisse à désirer!
Ecrivons nous sur nos boîtes perso, en français. Mais je pense que peut être cela peut interresser du monde!
merci pour ton aide cela peut être précieux!
