After I watched Osmanli Cumhuriyeti, V For Vendetta came to my mind. They can be put to same category. I can easily call this movie a Satirical and Political film with an alternative history.
What could have happened if Atatürk died when he was a small child. Today's situation in Turkey is not that far from what is shown in the movie.
Also the funny moments in the movie did not make me laugh, but they made me think All those jokes were full of irony.
The movie also shows why Turks fought for their country without weapons, shoes or food in harsh conditions while many Middle Eastern countries that were colonized by the imperialist countries did not. The movie tries to show the Turkic passion for freedom, but fails to show what Turks could have done in dire situations.
Ataturk was just a catalyst for Turkish identity, enlightenment and their freedom. If he never existed, Turks would have chosen another leader for them. Whatever today's situation is, there will be no way anyone to put Turks in a cage. History always repeats itself.

To make a long story short, this movies sucks With simplest meaning of the word it is worth nothing. I am a fan of Demirer but he does not change my idea. I did my best to laugh during the movie without any success. You need to force yourself to have some fun from that movie. I am an historian I like the movies somehow have connection with history. But I must tell Gani Müjde and his so-called scenario are totally worthless. And if someone tries to find a scapegoat for the failure of this movie I might choose him. But all in all nobody is worth to be watched in this movie. This is not all because of the actors. After all there are good actors that I like to watching despite the fact that most of them are no worth. But with this scenario which does not present anything to be seen as worth something Even Alpacino could not have changed the fate of this movies which simply sucks... Sorry to make that comment but one needs to tell the truth. Especially someone like me who paid for nothing in return for watching this worthless movie, not counting the time that I had spent for it
I heard many things about this move, positive and negative critics. But As a son of Ataturk and also Faith Sultan Mehmet, one can never say this film is a waste of time.
It clearly shows what would have had been if Atatürk ( miracle of God for Turk people) was someone ordinary not a legend. Turkish people will be economically and politically enslaved, our paradise would rather be the colonial of the Capitalism..
There really are some points that the author(Gani Müjde) could think and write better.. because it brought many responsibility like resembling a unique way of fictitious Turkish History.
I want to thank Gani Müjde for drawing attention to this topic, and Ata Demirer who is the one of the greatest artists of Turk cinema(of course from my standpoint) , and Vildan Atasever's mother for giving birth to those beautiful lady.
8.5/10

Osmanli Cumhuriyeti has many issues which are bounded to actual present. The director and the author of the movie should be applauded for their intelligence that makes us realize why important to have independence in own country. The specific issues and details and the example which directly interest the modern day are qualified. Furthermore, the film squad is above the standards, which are well-known comedy stars. However, the movie is not an certain comedy; the genre of the movie is mostly drama. Therefore the actors and actresses should have been selected for this perspective. Also, the movie is advertised as full-comedy film acted by Ata Demirer. Even Ata Demirer make some sufficient jokes, the whole movie is not for him, or his carrier, or the movie shouldn't be presented as a Ata Demirer comedy show, because it makes audience shock while watching it. Finally, the conclusion of the movie is too simple for that content. I think the final part of the movie addresses only for idiots. The director should be aware of the knowledge of the audience, because the end of the movie is just like teaching children history.
We watched this wonderful movie. İt's exceed our expectation.Only the thing is missing, I indicated at the summary.So many non Turkish background ( middle eastern etc. )were present at the movie.I am sure they enjoyed at some points but,they didn't understand main purpose of the movie story. Because we are the Turkısh background,We know our history so,we can understand what's going on in the stream of the movie. You have some introduction of course,beginning of the movie but,those are not enough for non Turkish people.I don't think it's so difficult to add simple writing introduction at the beginning of this wonderful movie for foreign watchers. Many regards.
