Now, viewers have the opportunity to look at events from the point of view of Turkish filmmakers.

"Magnificent Century" in style and execution reminiscent of women's novels in paperback. Intriguing story Roksolany served in an expensive package: the show is filled with beautiful scenery and costumes, everything is thought out to the smallest detail to meet the age and bring aesthetic pleasure to the audience. The creators of the series is clearly not limited to the financing, and therefore is not stingy to choose dress and image for each girl harem create different quarters in the "palace" of the Sultan, spend a good casting. Actors invited to the show, are well known in Turkey and abroad: nebahat çehre, Nur Aysan, Okan Yalabık, Selma Ergeç, Halit Ergenç and others.

When the writers have to deal with historical material, initially clear how the start and end the story, the plot is ready, do not need to invent anything, just have to register the script for each scene, fill it with meaning and dialogue accents that story was interesting. In this case, the content of the show bright dialogue and plot-components quite a bit: if the characters and say, this is not always carries some information about their character and rarely becomes the basis for subsequent events. Hence a contradiction: the action develops in the series, but it is not clear how and why this happens. The actions of the characters on the screen seem to be random and contradictory, and the overall picture is divided.

The historical accuracy of the "Magnificent Century" quite small. Turkish Prime Minister condemned even in their time series for negative biased view of events that are important to the national identity of citizens, but fans of the series this was just more.

The story in the first person

From the first series is easy to guess that the Turkish "Magnificent Century" - a "soap opera" in one of the best of its manifestations. Each series lasts for ninety minutes, the characters overcome one internal conflict and smoothly pass to another without solving at the same time any problems. Acting is far from being at the highest level, especially Meryem Uzerli game, playing the role of the protagonist. To her unbalanced, power-hungry Roksolana difficult to feel positive feelings. At the beginning of the series is quite tense confrontation scene characters, however, the second series of ten passions subside, as the interest of the viewer. Turkish "soap opera" is different from a similar Russian national colors.

"Magnificent Century", filmed by experienced directors and siblings Durulom Taylani and Yagmur Taylani, has currently two full seasons - only sixty-three series. Start of the third season of the popular television series is scheduled for autumn 2012. The series was broadcast in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and now bought and transferred for display in Russia.
