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.

The Ottoman Lieutenant quotes

  • Jude: I've been visiting hospitals in various cities, catching up on the latest advancements in modern medicine.

    Lillie: It's true. Medical science has been making some amazing advances. If only we could advance the thinking of the doctors.

    Mr. Rowe: Lillie...

    Jude: How do you mean, miss?

    Lillie: Yesterday, a man was turned away from the hospital where I work because his skin was the wrong colour.

    Mrs. Rowe: Dr. Gresham, I have to aologise for our daughter.

    Jude: I assure you, Miss Rowe, no one has ever been turned away from our hospital due to colour of their skin or their religious beliefs. That would be against everything we believe in.

    Lillie: Dr. Gresham, I'd like to show you something.

  • 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.
