Ataturk 1881-1919

I am genuinely enthralled by this cinematic masterpiece. While it's disappointing that Disney couldn't orchestrate a polished release, the film itself is undeniably a must-watch. Steering clear of spoilers, I firmly believe its profound storytelling has the power to ignite inspiration across generations. The stellar performances of the cast only add to its brilliance, showcasing the impressive talent that breathes life into this extraordinary creation. This movie is not just a viewing experience; it's a journey that resonates deeply, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to witness its magic.

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.

A film like this has never been released before. It was very good. It explained Ataturk and the last periods of the Ottoman Empire well. A great effort was made. I wish Disney+ had not stopped broadcasting it, it would have reached more people (globally). Aras Bulut played Imreli well. In other Ataturk films, there was an effort to deepen Ataturk's voice and add diction, but in this film, it was realistic. Ataturk was already speaking with a refugee accent. This is also the case in this film. Of course, it has its shortcomings, such as Enver Pasha, the Committee of Union and Progress, etc. It could have been better. The color toning etc. Of the film is quite good.

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.

I really enjoyed the acting and story telling. I believe it could be made longer because at some points I felt the timeline was really compressed and jumped over events very quickly. But providing that the movie is going through so many people and events it is not fair to judge it on this ground. Since it is not fictitious but depends on real events and people, It would have been better if there were descriptions of characters with some under titles when they were introduced especially for non Turkish viewers. But thanks to the cast and the director, great movie overall and highly recommended.
