Ertuğrul Bey and the Knights Templar in the 13th century Alba and step and step with the struggle against brutal Mongols depicts the process of establishing the Ottoman principality.
Killing The Shadows is a bawdy comic fable set in the Ottoman Empire during the mid-14th century based on two legendary figures in Turkish folkore, the jester Hacivat (Beyazit Ozturk) and the nomad Karagoz (Haluk Bilginer), men who apparently lived and died by their sense of humour.
Cellat, the Turkish version of Death Wish, sticks fairly close plot wise to the template of the American film, with some scenes and bits of dialogue being almost identical. However, it also deviates from its inspiration at times and is at its most interesting and valuable in these little moments, providing lurid snapshots of a place and a culture.
The film tells the story of a legendary folk hero from the outskirts of the city. Ali is imprisoned on charges of killing Ihsan, one of the troublemakers of Sineklidağ. During his time in prison, his name becomes legendary in Sineklidağ. When a general amnesty is declared, Ali is released. However, his girlfriend Zilha, who is İhsan's niece, is not interested in him. Ali cannot convince Zilha that he did not kill her uncle İhsan. Finally, he decides to use the legend that has grown around his name.
