Osmanli Cumhuriyeti

We watched this wonderful movie. İt's exceed our expectation.Only the thing is missing, I indicated at the summary.So many non Turkish background ( middle eastern etc. )were present at the movie.I am sure they enjoyed at some points but,they didn't understand main purpose of the movie story. Because we are the Turkısh background,We know our history so,we can understand what's going on in the stream of the movie. You have some introduction of course,beginning of the movie but,those are not enough for non Turkish people.I don't think it's so difficult to add simple writing introduction at the beginning of this wonderful movie for foreign watchers. Many regards.

Osmanli Cumhuriyeti is basically not a comedy but a drama.

There are some funny stuff in the movie but the dramatic side is much heavier. I felt like the author (Gani Mujde) wants to tell an interesting story together with some fun but he fails to combine that Sultan's loneliness with the fun.

Actually the movie would be much better if there is no comedy parts in it or would be a good comedy if the loneliness would not have been told that much.

But still I recommend this movie if you want to watch some drama and if you like Ata Demirer who acts quite good in the movie.

Osmanli Cumhuriyeti has many issues which are bounded to actual present. The director and the author of the movie should be applauded for their intelligence that makes us realize why important to have independence in own country. The specific issues and details and the example which directly interest the modern day are qualified. Furthermore, the film squad is above the standards, which are well-known comedy stars. However, the movie is not an certain comedy; the genre of the movie is mostly drama. Therefore the actors and actresses should have been selected for this perspective. Also, the movie is advertised as full-comedy film acted by Ata Demirer. Even Ata Demirer make some sufficient jokes, the whole movie is not for him, or his carrier, or the movie shouldn't be presented as a Ata Demirer comedy show, because it makes audience shock while watching it. Finally, the conclusion of the movie is too simple for that content. I think the final part of the movie addresses only for idiots. The director should be aware of the knowledge of the audience, because the end of the movie is just like teaching children history.

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...
