A series about Roksolan and Sultan Suleiman called "The Magnificent Century" is very popular today. Those who haven't watched it still heard about the film, at least remotely. The content of the "Magnificent Age" is not very different from historical reality.

Turkish-Ukrainian love in all its glory

This love story has excited the minds of people for centuries. A simple slave (Ukrainian according to some versions) was able not only to win the heart of the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, but also to lead the Turkish people and "crush" enemies with her very feminine legs. The reign of Sultan Suleiman is considered a truly golden age, a time when the Ottomans were the main threat to the then peace and tranquility.

Returning to the series, we will look at the story of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska and Suleiman through the eyes of the Turks, and also discuss the content of the "Magnificent Century". Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska climbs to the throne over the corpses and defeated enemies. I pay tribute to the actress: Meryem Uzerli played not only well, but inimitably. Whatever one may say, namelythe series was based on it. Now the actress has changed - and there is no limit to the indignation of the fans. But that's another topic.

So, slave Alexandra, realizing that it would not be possible to survive captivity in silence (and her cherished dream of revenge haunted), decided to win the heart of the Sultan and become one of his favorite wives in order to become one of those in power. And for this you need to change the foundations, influencing the ruler. But all the rest of the inhabitants of not only the harem, but the entire Muslim country stand for the traditions. Making enemies for herself "in batches", she becomes the sole ruler of the ruler's heart, and as a result, she acquires tremendous power, while also giving birth to a bunch of children. During her ascent, she was beaten, burned, blackmailed, poisoned and much more. But the Slavs are indestructible, and therefore it is simply impossible to defeat Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska either officially or by a roundabout way, hiring killers.

The content of "The Magnificent Century" somewhat deviated from the official historical reality, but, as for me, this is not so significant, and the series is presented as a fictional one. The main events coincide - and that's good. Although the Sultan seemed to me somewhat more lethargic or detached. Constantly surprised round eyes when something happens in the harem! A sort of holy naivete in his personal life and a very tough guy in politics!

The rest of the characters of the series also show themselves from completely unexpected sides, changing as they gain power, which invariably leads almost everyone to death (which is what the content says"Magnificent Age"). Ibrahim, Hatice, Valide, and eventually Shah Sultan, Lutfi Pasha are becoming a thing of the past. Skillfully doing business, nevertheless Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska sometimes stumbled, for which she periodically fell out of favor with the ruler, but, returning, gained even more power. Maybe it's because she learned from her mistakes, and the enemies did not, or maybe because there was really great love between her and the Sultan. The fact remains that Hurrem is difficult to shake, and even after ten years of captivity arranged by Mahidevran, she will return to arrange a great massacre. This is where we come to the fourth - final - season of the series.

Film "The Magnificent Century". Season 4 Contents

Here, in theory, the fun should begin, with follies, wars and intrigues. I will not tell in detail the film "The Magnificent Century" (the content of the series), but I will hint that some of Suleiman's kids are in danger of a specific "a-ta-ta in the ass." In addition, another sister of the ruler will appear. Some of the main characters will die or be executed.

In connection with the departure of Meryem from the series, many threaten not to watch it. But the last season promises to be the hottest. Therefore, reluctantly, I will probably still watch it, although from a purely historical point of view, I already know what will happen next.
