Initially released in 2019, the “Miracle in Cell No. 7” turkish
movie has risen through the ranks
to become one of Netflix's top trending contents. Showing the tenuous line
between the good and bad, this movie has touched a lot of people around the
world.
“Miracle in Cell No. 7” - or “Yedinci Kogustaki Mucize” in its native language - is the kind of uplifting, heartwarming story that can’t leave anyone emotionless. The movie tells the story of the relationship between a young girl called Ova (Nisa Sofiya Aksongu) and her dad Memo (Aras Bulut Iynemli), who has a cognitive disorder. The pair live happily in a small house until Memo is wrongly accused of killing a high-ranking military official's daughter.
The plot starts with Memo being coerced into signing a confession and being sent to prison for the crime he did not commit. Despite being alone with her fragile great-grandmother (Celile Toyon Uysal), Ova wants to prove his innocence and, for that, she enlists the help of her school teacher (Deniz Baysal) to find the witness Memo claimed he saw when the high-ranking military official's daughter suffered an accident and died.
Meanwhile, in prison, thinking about Memo is a child killer, the prisoners turn against him and beating him nearly to death, what makes the high-ranking military oficial completely upset because he wants Memo hanged, as an example for society, not beaten to death. In the middle of a completely dramatic and pleasant plot where love and hate are two different sides of the same coin, the prison director starts to investigate the witness hideout, after he had realized Memo is unable to commit any crime.
The turkish militaries find the witness, but when they bring the witness to the military official, he shoots him in the head. With no witness, the order to hang Memo still stands and the story continues with the assumption that Memo has been executed. Nevertheless, if this movies is mostly about the human rage and revenge, it is also about kindness once a series of flashback scenes prove that another prisoner took Memo’s place on his own initiative.
One of the latest scenes of “Miracle in Cell No. 7” reveals that Memo and Ova are sailing away on a boat together to start a new life, what shows the message that the greatest miracle of all is love and, as long there is love, there is hope. However, although the actors in this movie had done a remarkable job, we should know that the movie is not based on a true story.
“Miracle in Cell No. 7” is a remake from a south korean comedy-drama movie that was released in 2013, directed by Lee Hwan-kyung, which has the same name. The original movie earned a number of accolades and, actually, Mehmet Ada Öztekin’s turkish retelling is not the only remake in the world. It was also adapted and released in the Philippines, Indonesia and India and we can be sure about one thing: the success has been huge.
