Falsify several aspects of history

In recent years, Turkey’s economy has developed rapidly, its national power has increased greatly, and the people’s national self-confidence has rapidly increased. The whole film is full of irrational nationalist plots. It is war for the sake of war, because of the "guidance" of religion to conquer the monarchs at all costs. Tantinburgh. The film not only has a fundamentalist tendency, but also intentionally distorts history. In fact, when it comes to dealing with historical issues, the Turks are the same as Japanese right-wingers. For example, they never recognized the massacre of Armenians during the First World War. Going back to the film, the film vilified the Byzantine Emperor Constantine. In fact, the emperor's heroic resistance, the pioneering spirit, the spirit of martyrdom, and the spirit of the Constantinople people to resist the enemy with one heart and never surrender are worthy of respect. Secondly, the film exaggerated the strength of the Byzantine Empire and deliberately undermined the strength of the Ottoman Empire, thus highlighting the struggle spirit of the Ottoman army that is not afraid of hardships and sacrifices. In fact, the territories of Byzantium at that time and the Ottoman Empire were completely different. Byzantium was left with the big city of Constantinople and a few islands. However, Ottoman had become a large country across Europe, Asia and Africa and completely Surrounded by Constantinople, the Byzantine emperor could not receive foreign aid and support. The Ottoman seizure of Constantinople is just around the corner. Third, the film says that after Mohammed II entered the city, he allowed freedom of religious belief and treated the people kindly. Whether Mohammed II said this sentence can not be verified, but in fact, the Ottoman army ransacked the city for 3 days after entering the city. Sophia Cathedral was quickly converted into a mosque. Fourth, the artillery engineer Urban was not unwilling to cast guns for Byzantium not because of the tyranny of the Byzantine Empire, but because Byzantium could not afford to pay and Ottoman had money, so Urban invested in Muhammad II’s account, which shows that at that time The comparison of strength is completely on Osman's side. The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 was like Tyson hitting a child. It is not worth boasting. In short, the purely nationalist work plus the tendency of religious fundamentalism and tampering with history, I really can't flatter this film. Considering that there are very few movies with great medieval war scenes now, and the soundtrack is good, let's hit two stars.
