Pure propaganda.

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2012)

This is a movie about BRAVE, COURAGEOUS, SMART and CIVILIZED Ottomans(Well...Turks) conquering Constantinople. Yeah.. Turkish elite, politicians and powerful people of Turkey know what they are doing.They KNOW that the vast majority of Turkish people are racists, susceptible to propaganda, uneducated and madly religious, so they are "playing their game".After this movie, the average Turkish guy feels proud about his ancestors and is therefore ready to do the same things, act as courageously as Mehmet. Acting is like a 2/10. Video 1/10. Use of Turkish language, even amongst the civilians of Byzantium is just...hilarious. Additionally: Am i the only one that things that the civilians of Byzantium are totally stupid?The director thinks so, anyway.
HUGE HISTORICAL MISTAKES.Yes, we know.Turks did not rape, kill undefended children and women, did not burn the churches and monuments of Constantinople.
It's a MUST-NOT-WATCH.
