The Mountain (Dağ)
Dağ ("The Mountain"), also known as Forgotten Soldiers, is a Turkish adventure, drama and war film about two soldiers fighting to survive. Produced by Mars Entertainment Group, it was released on 16 November 2012 and runs 90 minutes; its tagline is "Bir Ölür Bin Dirilir" ("one dies, a thousand rise").
Oğuz (Çağlar Ertuğrul) is from Istanbul and, despite being able to pay for exemption, chooses short-term service out of principle. Bekir (Ufuk Bayraktar) is a long-term private who cannot get along with soldiers or commanders, and whose service has been extended by punishments. Constantly at odds, the two are in a team sent from the unit to repair a communications antenna. The team falls into an ambush and only the two of them survive, left with two rifles, four magazines and a broken radio in harsh weather. The cast also includes Fırat Doğruloğlu, Mesut Akusta, Cengiz Coşkun, İpek Bağrıaçık and Özgürcan Çevik.
Alper Çağlar wrote and directed, and Mehmet Başbaran was the cinematographer and Pinema distributed it. One reviewer argued the film relies on a formula that stirs the audience's nationalist feelings.
