This is a simple film, just a theme, conquer the castle! However, the scale is very large. The castle is said to be the battle of Mehmed II who captured the Byzantine capital of Constantinople in 1453!
The first hour of the film is to introduce the various parties in the battle, mainly the Turkish Empire, especially Mohammed II's re-entry to the throne, the beginning of his glorious life, and finally the achievement of the Ottoman Empire; the
other is the Byzantine king, Pope forces!
And both sides of the war have an invincible general, both of which are muscular, with good vests and long hair and sharp swords! Hassan on the Turkish side is wearing a motorcycle hero leather jacket no matter what!
Of course, as a positive character in this film, he not only fought left and right to serve the empire, but also defeated the opponent's long-haired muscular generals. As a result, the red flags of the revolutionary fighters (hahaha, they are really one after another) were planted in the enemy building. On, what's the end?
Holding the flag down and dying (this is one of the 18 must-die methods that positive characters should have), while a female general in the distance looks at + stroking her belly...
To be honest, the last hour of battle was really More heroic, at least more exciting than the so-called XX ancient battle blockbuster that cost X billion in our country! Even from the ruins of the city walls of Constantinople, it is also very imposing!
Although some other places are very rough! Such as the harem beauties, it always feels like a three-point style + stockings pie! It always makes me think that the emperor should open the iPAD to direct the battle!
Also, at the end of the film, the Sultan said to the people of the former Roman Empire that we are together, you believe in freedom... Belong to the self-anesthesia of the Turks! After all, this is a Turkish movie!
About history:
Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium, now refers to the area between the Golden Horn of Istanbul and the Sea of Marmara. It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) from 330 to 1453.
The name "Constantinople" appeared when Emperor Constantine I of the Roman Empire made his capital here on May 11, 330 AD.
Because it is located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, close to the Bosphorus Strait, and the gateway to the Black Sea, it has a very important strategic position as a transportation hub between Europe and Asia.
Besieged by the Turkish army in early April 1453, on May 29, the army of Mehmed II invaded the city, Constantinople fell, and the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) perished. Constantinople was occupied by the Ottoman Empire and became the capital of the Islamic state Ottoman Empire, renamed Istanbul until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1922.
Sultan Mehmed II led 170,000 cavalry and 320 ships to surround Constantinople from both land and sea, in an attempt to completely destroy the Byzantine Empire. At this time, the Byzantine Empire had only a corner of Constantinople, the ancient capital of thousands of years. They did everything possible to reinforce the fortifications. In addition to building two impregnable city walls on the west side, they also built a fort every 100 meters on the city wall, and dug a deep moat outside the wall. At the entrance of the Golden Horn in the north of the city, they locked the water with thick iron chains so that no ships could enter. In the east and south of the city, where the enemy from the gulf was difficult to approach, they also built a strong city wall.
The next battle, the movie is very faithfully recorded!
In addition, the film also shows the use of Greek fire by the defenders of the city.
It is a substance with petroleum as the basic raw material. It is a liquid burning agent used by the Byzantine Empire that can burn on water. It is mainly used in naval battles. "Greek fire" is just the Arabs' name for this terrorist weapon. The Byzantines themselves called them "wildfire," "sea fire," "flowing fire," "liquid fire," "artificial fire," and "precautionary fire," among others.
It has made considerable contributions to the military victories of the Byzantine Empire many times. Some scholars and historians believe that it was one of the reasons why the Byzantine Empire could last for thousands of years. The recipe of Greek fire is now lost, and its ingredients are still a mystery. , and according to the account of the crusaders who were injured by the Greek fire at that time:
"Whenever the enemy attacks us with the Greek fire, all they do is kneel down and pray for God's salvation." That quotation is enough to illustrate the power of the Greek fire.
There used to be a scale and a half claw, such as:
Emperor Leo VI pointed out in his "Tactics" that this "artificial fire" was sprayed with a siphon tube, which was made of bronze and placed at the front of the warship, and could shoot the fire up, down, left and right. Soldiers used small trumpets to release fire from behind iron shields.
Descendants speculate that light petroleum (commonly known as naphtha) with a relatively small specific gravity is the main body, and a certain proportion of flammable substances such as sulfur, asphalt, rosin, resin, etc. are mixed in the production, and they are dissolved by heating and have excellent combustion performance. The liquid can float and burn on the water surface, and is easily attached to the body of enemy ships or drowning soldiers.
