160 min. Too much for propaganda movie

Rating: 3/10 (14 November 2013)

Well, I don't know where to start from... I advise you not to watch this move, and not to read what I wrote, it's the waste of time. But if you want to read, there are some interesting facts and scenes, and yes - SPOILER ALERT.

Red flags - What? Where is the real Turkish flag from 16th c? - Hasan the brave "flag-carrier" took 1498273549185723 arrows (actually there were ONLY 6 of them ) in his body and was still able to hold the flag and place it instead of Byzantine one. - When archers saw the flag they vanished.

Emperor and his army represent the evil defenders, and of course the conquerors represent the good guys. In some scenes this was so overemphasized it made movie a joke.

Ending scene: Of course the Turkish "saviors" are welcome as protectors of Christianity, and all the people rejoice because they are now free and Orthodox Christians will no longer be threatened by Catholics. Everybody is happy, smiles on their faces, little girl hugs the Sultan... WTF? Come one,give me a break. What about the 3 day slaughtering that is historical fact? - I hope this movie payed off on the elections in Turkey. And I hope the next one to be better or never to be made.
