    A Disgraceful Attempt at Romanticizing a Tyrant

    I don't know what's worse - the movie itself, the idea behind it, or the country that decided to romanticize one of the world's tyrants by portraying him as a "good" character. Who's next on the director's list - the "nice guy" with a side-part and a tiny mustache?

    This film is not just bad, it is offensive. It trivializes history, mocks the suffering of millions, and turns one of humanity's darkest figures into a shallow caricature of "misunderstood heroism." The script is hollow, the direction is tone-deaf, and the entire production feels like a desperate attempt to provoke controversy instead of telling a meaningful story.

    Cinema has the power to challenge, to teach, and to move us - but this film chooses the opposite path: to distort, to glorify, and to offend. How anyone could watch, let alone make, something this disgraceful is beyond comprehension.
