April 6, Friday - Fall of Constantinople in 1453 part1

"Fetih정복자 1453" (English: The Conquest 1453) is a 2012 Turkish epic action film directed by Faruk Aksoy and produced by Faruk Aksoy, Servet Aksoy and Ayşe Germen. Starring Devrim Evin, İbrahim Çelikkol and Dilek Serbest, the film is based on fictionalized events surrounding the Conquest of Constantinople (now Istanbul) to the Ottoman Turks during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II.

The Fall of Constantinople was the capture of the capital city of the Byzantine Empire by an invading Ottoman army on the Sunday of Pentecost, 29 May 1453.

콘스탄티노폴리스의 함락은 1453년 5월 29일 비잔티움 제국의 수도인 콘스탄티노폴리스가 오스만 제국에게 점령당한 사건을 말한다.

이 사건으로 천년이 넘는 세월동안 존재해왔던 비잔티움 제국은 종말을 고하게 되고 오스만 제국의 동지중해 및 발칸 반도로의 진출과 지배권 확보에 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 또한 문화적으로 비잔티움 제국의 그리스 고전학 연구 학자들이 대거 서유럽으로 망명하고 결국 서유럽의 르네상스를 일으키는 계기가 되었다.

The strategy of Ottoman should be greatly appreciated:

Instead of conquering the city (which was extremely well protected by high wall and seawater) directly, Ottomans had purposely occupied most of the original territories of the Empire first and the Empire thus became much weaker before the final war in 1453. Since the Empire had lost control of most trade routes in Argean Sea either, the 'Romans' eventually lacked any financial and material supports outside the city during the time of siege. The victory of Ottomans was then just a matter of time.

I live at the point where Constantinople was conquered (Ayvansaray). My house is just below the Roman Empire Palace. I get very emotional when I think of the war and conquest that took place here. When the municipality excavates any street here, the bones of people who fought in that period are still revealed. Right next to us, a 100-year-old house was destroyed and a Byzantine tomb was found under it. We live on a very large and rich history. I have endless respect for the Roman Empire, who created this history, and the Turks who preserved and maintained it.

Mehmed II was 21 years old at the time of the Fall of Constantinople, meaning he is a young adult when the capital was conquered

However, the Mehmet II in movie kinda like he has aged 5 year older than real life

I don't know about the rest of the movie but the way they portrayed Constantine's character is abysmal.

I kinda like this stylized version of the siege of Constantinople, reminds me of the movie 300.

Istanbul will definitely be conquered. What a great commander, the commander who conquered him, what a great army that army is.” Hz. The conquest, which was heralded by the words of Muhammad, took place exactly 568 years ago by the Ottoman ruler Fatih Sultan Mehmet.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
