Actually, the storyline was good. The movie told the story of Türkiye's independence war by centering it around football. Instead of showing battles, it featured football scenes, yet it still succeeded in reflecting the spirit of the war. However, I had a problem with the logic of many scenes. The movie tries to create heroes from historical characters, but somehow it becomes artificial. I simply do not understand how, after the British general killed Peykel, Galip Bey took revenge through a football game that was organized by the general himself. The football game was too exaggerated at the end, damaging its historical significance. It seemed like all the revenge was taken through this football game, which had no real meaning. You are playing against the invading army that shouldn't have been in your city! By playing a football game against them and winning a cup named after their commander, you actually validate their presence in your country.
Anyway, there were many other illogical scenes as well. The psychotic British general always praised the Turkish people, which didn't seem realistic to me. The bad guys didn't face any punishment in the end. They came, enjoyed the city, killed people, played football, and left! Some scenes were also quite unnecessary and made the movie difficult for foreign audiences to understand. For example, the scene with Ismet Pasa at Lausanne lacked any explanation about who Ismet Pasa was or the significance of Lausanne.
There were some positive aspects in the movie. The football scenes were quite professional. I also liked some historical scenes, like Halide Edip Adivar's speech, which conveyed strong emotions to the audience thanks to Birce Akalay.
Overall, I found many critical issues in this movie. So much propaganda not in a smart way! Script-writing was too simple and predictable. Cast did a good job in general especially Nejat Isler, Adam Bay, Gülper Özdemir, Birce Akalay... However there were also some poor performances. Ending was not okay and ruined all the tragic scenes. I can still give 5 because it is still watchable. At least to see how a movie shouldn't be like!
