The journalist of the sensationalist AkÅŸam newspaper, Barış KocaoÄŸlu, spoke abruptly about Demet Ozdemir’s acting skills. He stressed that the scriptwriters of the series Your Home Is Your Destiny / DoÄŸduÄŸun Ev Kaderindir probably do not write especially the text for an actress who can only play pantomime, cry, look sideways and stand up, but she does not know how to speak. And this will soon bother the audience.
Keep in mind that the spectators, as a rule, really like the “expressions of the eyes” of the actors and the “pantomime”, when an actor attracts the public not by his words but by his emotions and is considered the best performance dramatic But it seems that Mr. KocaoÄŸlu did not hear anything about the Stanislavsky system
I had watched the very first episode. In the opening frame with her discourse, I was not impressed. I felt like she was way over her head in this type of drama. I had gladly followed her in at least 3 other series, all with the credibility of a well trained actress. (I studied theatre so I have some experience in the form. I’ve also done television.). As much as I thought that she was incapable of pulling it off, I thought that I would give one of my favorite actresses a chance to expand herself in a different form. She reminds me of an actress called Barbara Stanwyck. She also battled being type -cast. Her words were, “My only problem is finding a way to play my fortieth fallen female in a different way from my thirty-ninth. Demet Ozdemir has great style and acting range. Her role in this recent work is measured by actresses like Tuba Büyüküstün. There is room for a different approach among actress who are trained in their craft. As I am enjoying the writing, directing and acting in this Turkish TV Series. it is my hope that the “powers that be” will not shut it down while the audience is just warming up to this talented actress. there is strength in diversity, even in Turkish tv series.
