I love this movie.

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2017)

First off, I'm very surprised that the meta score is low. 'The Ottoman Lieutenant" is a beautiful love-story in a time of war. The cinematographer did an absolute amazing job with the ever-so awestruck scenes which portrayed nature's beauty. I am in love with Turkey after watching this movie. The love story is a love triangle between heroes and heroine. The Muslim-Christian romance in this story is so rare that I would say it's worth of Diamonds. What I like most about this movie is the acting done by Michiel and Hilmar. They played their roles so well and believable. Emotional, and wickedness concludes their(characters) relationship. Why were Armenians at war with the Turks? There has got to be religion and racial ties involved just as any conflict in state. I strongly believe that his(Ismail) Jihaad at the ending, proves to show that not all Muslims can extremists and terrorists, but will die doing Good's sake. Costumes, culture were pretty good. It's a movie not a documentary so I think the history part played well too. Just as I said, I fell in love with Turkey after watching the beautiful scenes. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves a love-story with Drama, War and History. 👍🏼 10-10
