Netflix’deki “Ripley” isimli diziden haberdar olanlar i\u00e7in: Y\u00f6netmeni: Steven Zaillian<\/strong>, Fresno’da do\u011fan, orta halli bir Ermeni ailenin \u00e7ocu\u011fu. Babas\u0131 radyo muhabiriymi\u015f. Steven Zaillian, Sonoma ve San Francisco devlet \u00fcniversitelerinde sinema okumu\u015f. Senaryo yazarl\u0131\u011f\u0131 ile i\u015fe ba\u015flam\u0131\u015f ve ger\u00e7ekten harika filmlere yazarl\u0131k yapm\u0131\u015f. 3 tane de \u00e7ok iyi film y\u00f6netmi\u015f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaliforniya’da okudu\u011fum ve \u00e7al\u0131\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m s\u00fcrede \u00e7ok say\u0131da Kaliforniya do\u011fumlu Ermeni \u00f6\u011frencim oldu. \u0130stisnas\u0131z b\u00fct\u00fcn \u00f6\u011frencilerime kar\u015f\u0131 \u015fefkatliyim. Ofisime gelen Ermeni \u00e7ocuklar\u0131 da dikkatle dinlerdim; konu\u015ftuklar\u0131ma “Ermenice biliyormusun? Ermenistan’a gittin mi?” diye 2 standart soru sorard\u0131m. 1980li y\u0131llarda (ben Teaching Assistant iken) bu sorulara gelen cevaplar genellikle “Evet, Evet” olurdu. Sonra hoca oldu\u011fum, 1990l\u0131 ve 2000li y\u0131llarda, “Biraz, Hay\u0131r”, 2010-2020li y\u0131llarda ise, “Ne yaz\u0131k ki Hay\u0131r, Hay\u0131r” cevaplar\u0131 almaya ba\u015flad\u0131m. Belli ki Ermeniler de Amerikal\u0131lar\u0131n “Melting Pot<\/strong>” dedikleri kazanda eriyip yok oluyorlard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bu arada T\u00fcrkler ne durumda diye soracak olursan\u0131z, Kaliforniya’ya okumaya ve \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmaya gelen T\u00fcrkler (daha do\u011frusu T\u00fcrkiye do\u011fumlu ve T\u00fcrk isimli ki\u015filer) daha gelmeden Amerikal\u0131 olmu\u015flard\u0131! Onlar\u0131n i\u00e7ine d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc\u011f\u00fc kazan\u0131n ate\u015fi Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i \u00dcniversitesi denilen ve bir t\u00fcrl\u00fc millile\u015ftiremedi\u011fimiz misyoner okulundan besleniyordu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neyse, Steven Zaillian’a d\u00f6neyim; kendisinden haberdar oldu\u011fuma sevindim. Yetenekli bir senaryo yazar\u0131 ve y\u00f6netmen. Amerika’ya ilk gitti\u011fim y\u0131llarda, sinema tarihine ad\u0131n\u0131 yazd\u0131rm\u0131\u015f, Kayseri do\u011fumlu bir Rum olan Elia Kazan<\/strong>‘dan haberdar olmu\u015ftum. \u0130ngilizceyi hen\u00fcz yeni s\u00f6kt\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm zamanlara denk geldi\u011fi i\u00e7in, ba\u015fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 “America was not His Medium<\/strong>” olan bir yaz\u0131y\u0131 da g\u00f6rm\u00fc\u015f, birka\u00e7 defa okumu\u015f ve \u00e7ok etkilenmi\u015ftim. Hatta ba\u015fl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 gazeteden kesip, evdeki kitapl\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131n k\u00f6\u015fesine yap\u0131\u015ft\u0131rm\u0131\u015ft\u0131m. Kitapl\u0131k ve yaz\u0131 ba\u015fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 h\u00e2l\u00e2 duruyor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peki, “America was not His Medium” ba\u015fl\u0131kl\u0131 bu yaz\u0131 beni ni\u00e7in bu kadar etkilemi\u015fti? Sebebini \u00e7ok sonralar\u0131 anlad\u0131m. Gidenlere menfi bir s\u00f6z\u00fcm yok ama ben Amerika’n\u0131n melting pot kazan\u0131nda erimeye gitmedim; Amerika’ya okumaya gittim.<\/em> Dolay\u0131s\u0131yla Elia Kazan hakk\u0131nda bile “bizim kazan\u0131m\u0131zda hi\u00e7 erimedi<\/strong>” diye bir yaz\u0131 \u00e7\u0131km\u0131\u015fsa, benim i\u00e7in de bir \u00fcmit var diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015f olmal\u0131y\u0131m. Belli ki, “America is not My Medium<\/strong>“, diye bir iddiam vard\u0131 veya olmal\u0131yd\u0131 diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcm. Art\u0131k o kazanda eridim mi, erimedim mi, bilemiyorum, ama bu konuda d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmeye devam edece\u011fim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
