I can totally understand what you mean. We Turks are also aware of the same situation, but we do not bring it up much. Let me try to explain the situation to you this way:

It is possible to divide Turkish cinema into two as follows: high class cinema and anatolian cinema. Anatolian cinema tells about our people, the problems in Anatolia and the lower classes, and this appeals more to people like me. It can also be called village cinema in short. In my subjective opinion, these are the films of Turkish cinema that have real literary value. You know that the Ottoman Empire is a Balkan state, even though it was founded as an Anatolian state, it became a Balkan state over time and Anatolia was like a kind of colony of the Ottomans. However, our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk showed us that our real cultural wealth lies in Anatolia, and in this way we started to produce rich literary works.

Moving on to historical information, although we protect our culture with the great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, it is lost again over time. In this way, our high class cinema emerged. Our high-class cinema is a cinema that is generally set in Istanbul, where even the supposedly poor characters are not poor, their only theme is different styles of love triangles, and as can be deduced from the subject of this cinema, they cast the people who can attract the audience the most because they have no artistic value and whether these people are good actors/actresses or not. It doesn't matter. These types of films of Turkish cinema generally attract attention among foreigners. I can understand why, because Anatolian cinema tells about our people and this may not attract the attention of foreigners, but I recommend Anatolian cinema to you and anyone who reads this and wants to get to know Turkish cinema because Anatolian cinema produces the only films that accurately reflect Turkish society and Turkish culture. Even if you don't care about getting to know Turkish culture, the real good acting and art are in these movies. In my opinion, other movies don't even give you the pleasure of cinema.
