Re: I agree, but have you seen the conroversy it has caused amongst Turkish citizens?

It offended the Turkish people when the film premiered in theatres and director Alan Parker did admit that liberties were taken with the book's content for dramatic effect. The government officials and parole board were made to look like corrupt, bribeable, amoral xenophobes. I can't imagine that it helped the tourism industry like "Topkapi" did. But I don't recall any similar protest from Mexico when "Traffic" came out.
