Atatürk 1881-1919

This film is a piece of art despite being a low-budget biographical film. Its equivalents, such as the super big-budget Napoleon released around the same time as Ataturk, the cinematic storytelling in "Ataturk" is stronger. You will see his character development starting from a childhood until him being a visionary, but very fidel warrior for his country. The noble scene during the Gallipoli (part 2) where his conscience is always aware of the blood of his soldiers who died, while the sultan tries to corrupt him, you'll feel almost what he feels. Ataturk is more compelling than its big-budget counterparts because the scenario is well thought, the storytelling techniques used are are unique.

There has been many Ataturk movies. Some were good, some were junk that was telling how many crows Mustafa Kemal Ataturk threw rocks.

This looks like the most thought movie.

Color grading, lighting, atmosphere, everything is spot on, like a Hollywood movie.

I always wanted to see a movie about Ataturk, that told the stories of the hard times he had that corrupted Ottoman gave him.

Backstage of this movie shows that there has been a real effort, lots of thinking, everyone involved worked very hard. So kudos to all. Ataturk deserves these detail. Greatest leader all of time needed a great movie like that. Well done.

There is no exaggration and unnecessary sentimental touch. It is just what exactly it must be. Some dark scenes are hard to see on the cinema but it also deserves to be a TV series with more detaild look. If it was a bad version about Ataturk, i would criticize harshly but nothing to say bad in general. The actor is perfect to speak different languages lika a native. It was impressive. Visual effects are good according to the budget and support behind the movie. It must be on the platforms but it was got out because of some political reasons. It must be shown on national TV as well. It is educative.

I am happy to see this movie is available for public viewing. There are many groups who tries to create conflict and share false information about this world recognized leader who established the Modern Democratic Turkish Republic. Saved the country from invading powers from all directions, pulled the country from illiteracy, poverty, and sick status to modern, educated, state. Opened schools at all corner of the country making it possible everyone to get basic education and training. Held human rights high and established constitutional law and order where people held the power not autocrats.

Amazing documentary everyone should watch.

I found the Atatürk film to be quite innovative in many ways. Particularly impressive was its portrayal of the pivotal events that shaped Mustafa Kemal's character and the incidents that formed the personality that we know. It was enlightening to see the people and events that influenced him, and how his character evolved.

However, I had to deduct a point because while the scenes, costumes, and dialogues accurately reflected the period, some felt overly theatrical. Certain scenes were so meticulously staged and visually appealing that they distanced me from the reality of the events.

Furthermore, while we should be able to see both the strengths and weaknesses of Atatürk as a human being, the film consistently set him apart from other characters, almost deifying him. This, in my opinion, compromised the film's connection to reality, which is essential for a biographical piece.

Despite these criticisms, I would generally give the film a 10 out of 10, so perhaps giving it a 9 is a bit unfair.
