Tepid (dumb) scenic romance

Calista 2022-08-12 13:03:04

So-so, ugly, and not so ugly.

It's a landscape film, some of which are well shot.

It's a romance, it has nothing to do with Osman, has nothing to do with the lieutenant, and has nothing to do with war. Ottomans, history, and wars are all background boards, which have a weak sense of existence.

There are some bugs in the plot, but it doesn't affect it. Just look at the looks of the male and female protagonists, a relatively plain love story.

So it's not good-looking, not exciting. It's not hard to see, at least it still tells a story clearly. For the movie, unless the symbol, metaphor, structure, etc. can be specially changed, it is better not to do too much work, and to tell the story honestly is more sincere.

  • Melih Pasha: Let us be honest with each other. Your name and your charme have carried you this far. But now it's time for you to prove yourself.

    Ismail: Allright.

  • Ismail: You should'nt wander off.

    Lillie: I'm perfectly fine. Is that Mount Ararat where Noah landed?

    Ismail: Yes. We call it Agri Dagi.

    Lillie: Agri Dagi.

    Ismail: Noah and the Great Flood. Adam and Eve. You know, it's also part of the Islamic culture.

    Lillie: Really?

    Ismail: Hm-hm.

    Lillie: Adam and Eve?

    Ismail: Hm-hm. Only in the islamic telling they weren't driven out of the garden. They were placed in different parts of the world, so they had to search to find each other.

    Ismail: Please stay close.
