Atatürk 1881-1919

Within the pantheon of cinematic portrayals of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, this latest offering stands out as a distinguished masterpiece. Straying from the trodden path of previous biopics, the film captures the essence of Atatürk with a refreshing authenticity that both educates and inspires. The narrative, rich in historical gravitas, is interwoven with a delicate craftsmanship that brings not only the man but also the mythos surrounding him to vibrant life.

The filmmakers' dedication to presenting Atatürk's multifaceted persona visionary statesman, military genius, and progressive reformer-is evident in every frame. Their meticulous attention to period detail and commitment to nuanced storytelling transcends conventional biographical cinema, making the experience not just a viewing but an immersive journey through a pivotal era in Turkish history.

What truly elevates this film above its predecessors is the unflinching portrayal of Atatürk's humanity. Rather than being perched on a pedestal, he is seen here in his full complexity, his triumphs as well as his struggles laid bare in a manner that is both intimate and grandiose.

In conclusion, this film does not simply retell Atatürk's life story; it reignites it, offering a tableau that is as enlightening as it is enchanting. It is a definitive film that should not be missed, serving as a brilliant homage to one of history's great figures and a sterling example of cinematic excellence.

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.

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.

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.
