Just like equal movies from seventies,Kara Murat can be proper example, 'Estargon Kalesi' tells a revenge story of Ottoman raiders serve under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent who desires to capture some castles such Estargon over Hungarian territories and naturally like contemporary war hero movies it mixed with a love story between a war hero and a native girl.
what is always same in this kind of Yeşilçam (Turkish Cinema)war hero movies is exaggerated war-scenes that only few heroes are able to defeat a large number of enemy, I am sure you would mind from Cüneyt Arkın's war scenes how he can kill 20 enemies with a single strike of his sword, Comparing it with this movie, Estargon Kalesi is just better however same problems also giving a bad image of enemy, somehow always heroes are perfect with everything else, even romantic one but enemy is always brutal.
It should not be comprehended that its just the problem of Turkish cinema, in every countries as well as in Hollywood always national heroes are steeply flawless and identical with war-scenes, I think its a good way to impose nationalism via heroism what I strongly oppose.
considering its from early seventies, as a historical movie Estargon Kalesi is not worthless, but looking at the movie from general perspective; just one of the examples for the movies have been done for nationalist concern.
