Turkey is a combination of its current Islamic leadership (from Anatolian Tigers), its secular century (Ataturk) and its Ottoman past (Osman, Mehmed II (Constantinople/Istanbul) Selim the Grim (Jerusalem), Suleiman (the lawgiver)). The sick man of Europe is now where Muslim and modernity coexist.
The experience @AMC was quite enjoyable and entertaining but this film itself is no more than a superficial attempt to construct an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist narrative of a clichéd super hero movie. Yet, the paradox of the premodern sentimentality and the myth of powerful modern tech is interesting.
