For military fans, the highlights of this war are too many: 100 towers and 300 turrets and a three-layer defense system constitute the most complex and exquisite city wall in human history, 12 kinds of sayings about this war, Turkey The feat of people transporting 80 battleships overnight from the land, the disparity between 200,000 people besieging 5,000 people, and the dramatic end of the war... I have never found a movie about this war until recently I accidentally discovered "Conquer 1453", a movie in which the Turks viewed the war from their own perspective. Obviously, this is a patriotic masterpiece that made Turkey’s fifty cents HIGH to the death. The Mohammed II who ordered the killing of the city for three days became a good emperor who loved the people like a child and turned to the Ottoman gun because Byzantium could not pay his wages. The craftsman Urban was accused of hatred of the country, the family hates the children, and the Turks accidentally discovered the details of the city breaking through the back door that the Christians had forgotten to close, and disappeared completely. Constantine XI, who refused to surrender until his death, was completely blacked out in the film. Seeing the last shot of Mohammed II smiling and holding a Christian's daughter in the Sophia Cathedral, I am really puzzled: the beautification of history is understandable, but whether such beautification is a bit of the black humor of "This is not Sparta" NS? Will the Turkish people blush when they see such a film? If the Japanese filmed the Nanjing Massacre, what would you think of Matsui Ishine telling the people of Nanjing in the movie that we don't take the common people one by one? A film that has been filmed for three years and is known as the largest film in Turkish history is actually like this. I can only say that this is an insult to this period of history.
All kinds of siege methods have been photographed: tunnel warfare, siege carts, urban cannons cast in two parts, and even the legendary Greek fire, but the majestic and complex city walls are just passing by, and there is a short period of time. From the aerial shots, you can vaguely see the inner and outer walls of the city, as well as the spectacular war scenes, which are also passable. These are worth the fare. The emotional drama is mediocre, and the only thing that touches people is when Mohammed II saw his son before he went out on the expedition, he remembered the scene when he was coldly treated by his father when he was a child.
In addition to the problems with the basic worldview, the biggest problem with this film is greed for everything. "Rapid Assault 60 Positions" only talked about one tunnel battle in 2 hours. The siege of Constantinople was fought for nearly two months, and all tunnel battles were carried out in the naval battle of the Greek siege vehicle, Urban Cannon. But I couldn’t find a main thread, the most spectacular and worthy book of Constantinople’s city walls passed by. The line of love between Hassan and Urban’s daughter was stinky and long, and the one who planted the flag was slow. The camera's intention to portray Hassan as a hero is obvious, but is he qualified? I can only say that the reason Hassan can be a hero is because the actual heroes are on the side of the Christians.
At the end of the article, let’s review Liu Cixin’s wonderful description of the war in "Death of Death": "Constantine XI temporarily retracted his thoughts, pushed away the pile of city defense pictures in front of him, and wrapped his purple robe. Waiting quietly."
"His sense of time is very accurate, and the vibration came on time, as if it came from deep in the heart of the earth. It was heavy and violent. The silver candlestick hummed, and a wisp of dust came down from the top. This dust may have been in the Palace of Dafna. They stayed quietly on the roof for thousands of years. They fell into the candle seedlings and sparked a burst of sparks. This shock was emitted when a 1,200-pound granite shell hit the city wall, with three intervals each time. Hour, this is the time required to load the Ottoman Empire’s Urban Cannon. The giant bullet hit the strongest city wall in the world. It was built by Theodosius II in the 5th century and continued to expand and strengthen. It is the main support of the Byzantines in the face of powerful enemies. But now, the huge bullet can break a big gap in the city wall every time, like being gnawed by an invisible giant. The emperor can imagine the scene: the fragmentation in the air Before the stone fell, the soldiers and citizens swarmed up to the gap, like a group of heroic ants in the dust. They filled the gap with various things, including bricks and wood blocks removed from the city buildings, and some filled with sand. Linen bags, and expensive Arabian tapestries...He could even imagine how the flying dust soaked in the golden glow of the setting sun slowly drifted into the city, like a golden shroud gently covering Constantinople cloth."
