Info about the movie and review

[q_bic2000 · 10/10 · 9 April 2005]

Info: The entire movie has 2 hours and 59 minutes. Review:

The movie is another screenplay of the movie Mihai Viteazul. In fact the action of the movie is quite the same because the movie is a historical one. I haven't saw the Mihai Viteazul movie so I can't say if this one is better or worse than it. The story: very simple, the ascension of a young man named Mihai Vteazul to the throne of all the three countries from Romania: Moldova, Transilvania and Tara Romaneasca. The union of these three countries in one state .... the action is around 1600. Is a very emotional movie for those who loves Romania, at least for me was emotional. I love the movie .... an absolutely must see.

Way to patriotic feeling

[Vincentiu · 4 March 2010]

The virtues of this movie : the science of detail and atmosphere. The characters are delicate build, the colors of century - powerful created. So, it is not an another "Mihai Viteazu". It is picture of a hero, piece by piece, description of a world with its ambitions and fear, with beliefs and gestures of cold cruelty. Mihai is not the star. And this fact is essential. He is the shadow of the games of Habsburgs, Movilesti, Poland or Turkey. He is alone again and again. Powerful, at first sight, fragile in fact. And in this element may understand the force of film. And , in same time, in the chance to discover the history of East as illustration of "Vanitas vanitatum". Toma Caragiu is great, Victor Rebengiuc is correct in the skin of a great character. The film is a politically command of regime. But, rocky, bronc, heavy, the final taste of movie is not very bad. It is a slice of hope, bright of costumes, trace of words. And the way to be patriot.

other Mihai

noble ideas. speeches. details of political gestures, context and roots of the roots of great project of 1600. Victor Rebengiuc gives new dimensions to his character and Toma Caragiu use same recipes from the Haiducii series. the purpose of new film about Mihai Viteazul - to define the ideological message. and this is the axis of each scene. a Mihai who commands, imposes measures, defines the duties, demonstrates his actions and explains the purpose of measures. the image saves the rhythm and the emotion from the ocean of words. film of ideas, it is not heroic or impressive. maybe form of meditation about history and the pieces who define it.reflection about power and freedom and patriotic duties and sacrifice or power.more historical details . and sketch of deep solitude front to challenges of each moment.but in a bitter manner who defines its status as bottle for a precise message. it is not fair to compare it with Sergiu Nicolaescu's Mihai Viteazul. different ways, different purposes. and, in strange manner, exactly the stories around the same lead character impose the most important/significant difference.
