The "movie" is pointing out many facts some of which everybody knows but ignore. Even though there are some extreme scenes used to prove a point (mainly with Americans), the movie generally displays truth to the viewers.
However I have many doubts about calling this a movie. In many cases, such as the general concept of US Army, the movie is seriously lacking background knowledge. The use of US landcraft would put more realism into the movie as well as real military equipment in terms of clothes. Many scenes like the 'marketplace' needed some professional approach due to the fact that the meeting is more than a random occasion of a little gathering. Also the religious ceremony is nothing more than a lame propaganda.
Besides these and some other mistakes the movie puts on a good display of Turkish Nationalism and points out several untold facts about Iraq. It is worth watching if you have previously seen the series.

Anyone who watches "My father and my son" will eventually relate the movie to a family relationship they have lived. It is a perfect visualization of what people do because of their ego and what can actually destroy that ego. The movie makes the viewer ask "what if" questions about almost everything and the answers will be different for everyone. The acting is definitely remarkable with less experienced characters (including the little kids) putting on a display to remember when aiding patriots of Turkish movie industry. Overall I can say that "Babam ve Oglum" is a blending of great acting, wonderful script, and a real life story.
i think this is one of the worst possible movies that can be done for the period. of course some factors are "manipulated" to give people the impression of hard fight and bravery, but it was too much this time. also the plot seems to be vague.
i don't think this movie can be compared to gladiator which had a lot of reality and less fantasy. the view of muslims is the only good thing in the movie. Neither the christians nor muslims are seen as the bad side, which is the idea of jerusalem to begin with. i would expect to see a better movie since jerusalem is such an important issue and the crusade periods were quite interesting to read
