An Exercise In Nonsense
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The main problem with the movie is that the lead man who is supposed to play Ataturk looks nowhere near to him despite all those heavy make up. He rather looks like a rascal, bad looking mafia boss. Come on guys, is that the best you could do?Turkish Cinema seems to have a long long way of learning how to make a proper historical movie. If you want to depict a historical figure, try to find at least somehow similar looking guy if not exactly.Ataturk was an extremely handsome man with exceptionally high charisma and marvelous posture. This movie is actually nothing but an insult to his memory.
The tag line reads "both for adults and children", but that lousy script of the "movie" parts would only be suitable for children under 10.I wish there was a "director's cut" for adults, with no child's play, only the "documentary" parts. Actually, original recordings, visualizations, animations, and music were pretty good. Black/white memoirs were probably the best parts.I'll divide my score points into two: 5 for the movie part and 5 for the documentary part. The documentary deserves a 5 out of 5. And the total score? 5 out of 10.
