I really liked the story. I wanna congrutulate the writer. It affected me.
I wanna explain something to Turkish people. Yes we know this is untrue history. but it must be like that. Because it is Fantastic Movie. Did you see the explanation about "Based on a true story" ? No?
If it said "based on a true story" i can oppose this.
Clever people don't believe amy film's story directly.
Clever people search for true history.
If there is somebody believe this story, they must be moron.
There is many real documentaries and knowledges about history.

This is one of them.
Just calm down Turkish guys, it is just a movie and enjoy it.
And Romanian guys how can you proud of this man that killed his own people.
Really i don't understand.
This is same thing like German people like Adolf Hitler.

If you want a true story read a Wikipedia page (which I see you've provided) don't see a movie like this. I don't understand how people go into movies like this expecting historical accuracy.

You told same thing with me. Please read again my comment. I liked movie too. I don't care the historical accuracy of movie which is fantastic movie.
And i don't understand too, why people expecting historical accuracy from a fantastic movie.

Turks aren't better than Romanians, if man of them have nostalgic feelings for the Ottoman Empire.

Nobody is better than nobody. I don't have any feelings about Ottoman Empire too :) I hate war. I don't support nobody who kills other people.

Okay, but Turkish president Erdogan has obviously such "nostalgic feelings" for the Ottoman empire and other Turkish realms:

Yes, He has :) 50% of Turkish people have this feelings and the other 50% don't have. it is same in all around the World. for example Germany, there are still fans of Adolf Hitler.
Some people like war and some people doesn't .
we can't judge all country because of their 50% bad people.
War is the most bad thing at all platform.

Actually... much of this IS true. The real problem is that when there is a war (and the Crusades were war) then there will be centuries of propaganda, hence Turkish viewers will see Dracula as bad, while Romanians will see him as a hero. Its the same problem you see happening today with war & propaganda. Am I dumb enough to think my country (America) is totally innocent of war crimes? No, but a lot of Americans are. Do I think all Saudi refugees are bad? Absolutely not- and I feel for them. But you have thousands of Trump supporters who don't want to let them into the US. Event he educated, peaceful refugees. So just stop with the regurgitation of propaganda guys. This is seen rom Dracula's side of things and that's that. Go make your own movie that takes it from the other side. I'd definitely watch it.

I agree with you :)
By the way I don't support Trump :)

LOL! I don't support him either, but it seems 'enough' people do. Scary.
