To make a long story short, this movies sucks With simplest meaning of the word it is worth nothing. I am a fan of Demirer but he does not change my idea. I did my best to laugh during the movie without any success. You need to force yourself to have some fun from that movie. I am an historian I like the movies somehow have connection with history. But I must tell Gani Müjde and his so-called scenario are totally worthless. And if someone tries to find a scapegoat for the failure of this movie I might choose him. But all in all nobody is worth to be watched in this movie. This is not all because of the actors. After all there are good actors that I like to watching despite the fact that most of them are no worth. But with this scenario which does not present anything to be seen as worth something Even Alpacino could not have changed the fate of this movies which simply sucks... Sorry to make that comment but one needs to tell the truth. Especially someone like me who paid for nothing in return for watching this worthless movie, not counting the time that I had spent for it
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..
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.

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
