Vlad el Empalador

Now take that skewed perspective and substitute the African slaves with the defendind Romanians and the Americans with the Ottoman Empire. How exactly is this movie accurate and where is the reality and truth of history I don't know. What is more surprising is that in the age of technology and social media someone thought that a movie like this is suppose to bring sympathy towards Turkey.

Talk about sore losers, sore losers till the end, even 500 years later. At least those that put this movie and this version of history on a pedestal.

I enjoy watching historical dramas and action films. I knew immediately when I saw Vlad on the screen in the opening of the film that I rented a real "turkey"... pun intended. So obviously Turkish propaganda. Oh, well...I guess I'll watch it tonight, maybe it'll put me to sleep or give me a laugh. On the plus side, their are some very handsome actors, so that helps a bit, haha! I guess if you're Turkish you might enjoy this film, otherwise I would pass.

Neo-ottoman propaganda movie where Turkish invaders are the good guys and Romanians who defend their own country are the bad guys. It looks good though and if you can forget about its complete historical inaccuracy it's an enjoyable movie.

Eventough it is really meaningless on one hand, on the other hand it was quite interesting. What makes this movie unique is about the Tengri belief. Turks believed in single god even before Islam. God was called the god of the skies and all universe as his creation. This movie is nothing even close to todays beliefs and can not be categorized as a propaganda because they are not usual muslims. They do magic, they pray as shamans, they combine Islam with Tengri which may be categorized as being close to Alevi belief in Turkey which todays ruling party hates. So, I think this is a fantasy movie which has no meaning other than showing some blood and some Tengri. And probably if the guys were named as Vikings, the movie may have been more meaningful :).

Cannot be placed outside the Turkish community. Historically incorrect, politically dubious and zero entertainment.
