A Cinematic Portrayal of Urban Resistance: Exploring Istanbul's Atmosphere Through the Lens of Fenerbahce Sports Club
22 February 2024
Contrary to popular belief, the film is not merely an epic about Fenerbahçe, but rather a portrayal of the atmosphere in Istanbul during the occupation, utilizing Fenerbahçe Sports Club as a backdrop. The film effectively depicts the national struggle, focusing on urban resistance, a departure from the typical battlefield narratives seen in most films about the period. While the film captures this essence well, it suffers from unnecessary length in certain parts, leading to moments of tedium. Additionally, the casting of antagonistic characters is subpar. Nonetheless, the film is generally commendable.
