Réka H @RT19584570 Apr 3 I admit I started it with hesitation, but the concept of bringing this story to screen is solid. However, several major distortions stand out. A modern, perverse patriarchal lens is imposed throughout. Women in harems, kept as sex slaves, are portrayed as if it were paradise for them, according to their own words, which is a misogynistic distortion that contradicts human nature. Hunyadi is depicted as a modern "macho" figure, rewriting medieval Transylvanian values. Records show adultery was a vile, deceitful act among men as well, condemned and deeply shameful across both common and noble classes, and incompatible with a warrior code. Even the queen is reduced to a worthless object freely used and abused. Mara Branković, historically a high-ranking political and religious diplomat, is portrayed as a sex object with no role or status, contradicting facts. The tone and language are also completely out of place. This film promotes misogyny by deliberately distorting history. See more Read all reviews
