Bir Cumhuriyet Sarkisi

Atatürk is the Father of the Turkish Republic.

The movie focused on his cultural revolutions, particularly regarding music culture. Yes, this really happened. In this movie with its national spirit, the director added a love story about Atatürk (involving a Bulgarian girl, which is just gossip, by the way). This is absurd because the movie should not have been about Atatürk's love life.

Secondly, the portrayal of Ahmed Adnan Saygun's love life is absurd too. Additionally, the actor playing Atatürk doesn't even look similar to him.

While this movie is good for remembering Adnan Saygun's place in our history, it has too many absurd elements in it.

I am a guy who believes that Atarürk was the greatest leader of 20th century. He was not only a soldier but also a philosopher, a mathematician, a patriot, a teacher and maybe most importantly a revolutionary.

He was born and raised in Selanik. Then went to Macedonia for Military High School and finally went to Istanbul at the age of 18. He received a very good education and he was very intelligent and had the formation of "Istanbul beyefendisi".

So what is that Anatolian accent ? Also the acting like it is out of the TV series called "Dayi" ? The actor playing Mustafa Kemal is completely off. I was disappointed to see that either the actor had no idea who he was playing or the director wanted to give a different taste which I think was nothing better than bitter.

I gave 6 points just because the other actors were really good and the script was not the worst.

As a result, a movie to watch on 29th of October and thats all.
