Osmanli Cumhuriyeti

I watched this film las week. I was wondering that film..it said that '' if Ataturk isn't been'' always. someone have to film that idea and have to make good ..of course that person may be Gani Müjde. if I choice that person you can sure I would choice Gani Müjde. because I had seen 'Kahpe Bizans' and I had liked and laughed.. I thought that movie must be like that.. But I couldn't find my expectations in the film. Film is like theater game..there is no crowd at scenes , visually .I thin it used low budge for movie.That idea deserves more budge. there is unnecessary love story in movie too Osman VII between a girl who is resistance. Ata Demirer said that ''they didn't use me'' too. I mean there is a lot of absents in that film..intent is good ,idea is good but movie is not good enough..

After I watched Osmanli Cumhuriyeti, V For Vendetta came to my mind. They can be put to same category. I can easily call this movie a Satirical and Political film with an alternative history.

What could have happened if Atatürk died when he was a small child. Today's situation in Turkey is not that far from what is shown in the movie.

Also the funny moments in the movie did not make me laugh, but they made me think All those jokes were full of irony.

The movie also shows why Turks fought for their country without weapons, shoes or food in harsh conditions while many Middle Eastern countries that were colonized by the imperialist countries did not. The movie tries to show the Turkic passion for freedom, but fails to show what Turks could have done in dire situations.

Ataturk was just a catalyst for Turkish identity, enlightenment and their freedom. If he never existed, Turks would have chosen another leader for them. Whatever today's situation is, there will be no way anyone to put Turks in a cage. History always repeats itself.

This movie is good answer from Gani Mujde to Can Dundar! Congrulations Mr Mujde. Good Job! Anyway. If you're not Turkish you can understand anything about this film. This is funny comedy. This film effected by George Bush's World Ideas. If you're American 99% you don't like it. But If you're nationalist Turkish like me Of course You like it. Anyway This is not just a comedy film. It's politic comedy movie. Congrulations Ata Demirer and Vildan... Nice casting... If you want to learn Turkey without Mr Kemal Ataturk You must watch it ASAP... (As Soon As Possible) Thanks again Gani Mujde and all workers for this film... Also This film casted without big capitalist companies' sponsorship...

I heard many things about this move, positive and negative critics. But As a son of Ataturk and also Faith Sultan Mehmet, one can never say this film is a waste of time.

It clearly shows what would have had been if Atatürk ( miracle of God for Turk people) was someone ordinary not a legend. Turkish people will be economically and politically enslaved, our paradise would rather be the colonial of the Capitalism..

There really are some points that the author(Gani Müjde) could think and write better.. because it brought many responsibility like resembling a unique way of fictitious Turkish History.

I want to thank Gani Müjde for drawing attention to this topic, and Ata Demirer who is the one of the greatest artists of Turk cinema(of course from my standpoint) , and Vildan Atasever's mother for giving birth to those beautiful lady.

8.5/10

Great Piece of work that shows everyone what the Ottoman Empire would have been become without Ataturk. This Movie describes a "modern" Ottoman Empire under the control of America and Europe. And it is for sure, that such a parallel (or more even worst) would happen to the Ottomans. Here are some facts now that shows, why this movie, is not just based on fiction.

Facts :

Of course some People didn't recognize the Ottoman Empires situation in the late 19th century. An Empire with high technological level in the high medieval times ended up as a low technological empire in the industrial age (simple example : after nearly 200 years later they received the Gutenberg Machine).

In 1919 the Ottoman Empire has received the orders to disband their Army and they did it.

In the Treaty of Sèvres it was planned to cut the Ottoman Empire into pieces. All important regions were under the control of the victorious opponents. The Ottoman Empire accepted it!

Summary : This movie shows exactly, what this worst case for todays Turkey would have been if Ataturk didn't existed those days.

-1 for the script -2 for the atmosphere in the movie

7/10 nice work
