Tiger head and snake tail

The film has an unparalleled historical background, the First World War, the last glory of the British Empire, the split of the ancient Ottoman Empire, and the Kevir Revolution. War, family, memory, search, struggle, national independence, from the journey of searching for children to the tide of national independence in Turkey, the previous plots are all contributing to the final victory of Kevir in the back. The perfect structure of war and peace is close. In front of me. And the director did put the end of the story in a cozy little hotel, which made people realize that Americans also have the historical plot of ancient Europe, turning the scene of the Ottoman Prime Minister's siege of Vienna into eternity in his mind. Rather than let the film's rhythm be cut in half and the story ended in a hasty, rather than give a little glory to the independent revolution of the ancient nation, I have to ask the director, then why did you make so much for the national revolution in front of the film? Maybe the director wanted to shoot, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to break the mainstream culture.

Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: We lost over two thousand men in those four days at Lone Pine. The Turks lost seven thousand. We didn't take too many prisoners either. I don't know if I'd forgive any of us.
