Atatürk 1881-1919

A film like this has never been released before. It was very good. It explained Ataturk and the last periods of the Ottoman Empire well. A great effort was made. I wish Disney+ had not stopped broadcasting it, it would have reached more people (globally). Aras Bulut played Imreli well. In other Ataturk films, there was an effort to deepen Ataturk's voice and add diction, but in this film, it was realistic. Ataturk was already speaking with a refugee accent. This is also the case in this film. Of course, it has its shortcomings, such as Enver Pasha, the Committee of Union and Progress, etc. It could have been better. The color toning etc. Of the film is quite good.

This film is a piece of art despite being a low-budget biographical film. Its equivalents, such as the super big-budget Napoleon released around the same time as Ataturk, the cinematic storytelling in "Ataturk" is stronger. You will see his character development starting from a childhood until him being a visionary, but very fidel warrior for his country. The noble scene during the Gallipoli (part 2) where his conscience is always aware of the blood of his soldiers who died, while the sultan tries to corrupt him, you'll feel almost what he feels. Ataturk is more compelling than its big-budget counterparts because the scenario is well thought, the storytelling techniques used are are unique.

I really enjoyed the acting and story telling. I believe it could be made longer because at some points I felt the timeline was really compressed and jumped over events very quickly. But providing that the movie is going through so many people and events it is not fair to judge it on this ground. Since it is not fictitious but depends on real events and people, It would have been better if there were descriptions of characters with some under titles when they were introduced especially for non Turkish viewers. But thanks to the cast and the director, great movie overall and highly recommended.

I am happy to see this movie is available for public viewing. There are many groups who tries to create conflict and share false information about this world recognized leader who established the Modern Democratic Turkish Republic. Saved the country from invading powers from all directions, pulled the country from illiteracy, poverty, and sick status to modern, educated, state. Opened schools at all corner of the country making it possible everyone to get basic education and training. Held human rights high and established constitutional law and order where people held the power not autocrats.

Amazing documentary everyone should watch.

In my opinion Atatürk is a unique film with a high level of staging and special effects, and perfect direction and acting. Especially the main actor Aras Bulut iynemli , who is very powerful, intelligent and incredible, and he deserves to play in international projects like Hollywood.

In the movie "Miracle in Cell No. 7" in 2019, Aras Bulut proved to the world that he has superior qualities compared to male actors in the world, and again with this movie, he reminded himself of being a super star.

I recommend watching this historical drama and beautiful movie. The director of the film has proved that he is a master of drama films and an expert in making the viewer cry with his humane and emotional films.
