But the end of the film it is absolutely ridiculous and was made only for propaganda reasons. I understand that the film maker wanted to give to Mohamed the part of the glory that he deserves. There is no place here to talk about more historic facts. This gives a picture of history as it really happened and nobody can argue about that.Because it is history! The Byzantine empire had come to an end as it happens in all the empires in history. It is know to everybody who knows only a few things about history that the Ottomans entered the city though an unguarded small gate known as Kerkoporta which has been left open by mistake. The Byzantine empire was found at that time at the lowest level of her past glory and in the absolute decline. Some say that the army had 200.000 or more soldiers. The Ottomans had an army of about minimum 100.000 soldiers. Only 40.000 of once 1.000.000 people lived inside the walls which were defended only by 7.000 soldiers. During the siege, Constantinople had nothing to do with the glorious city of the past. We must respect history and the director of the film did non respect history at all. It is absolutely clear that the conquest of Constantinople was a great victory for the Ottamans who finished what the crusaders started in 1204.
