Color of Victory (Zaferin Rengi)

This film is based on historical facts.

In memory of all our heroic athletes who defended our homeland.

The First World War ended in favor of the Allied Powers, and the Ottoman Empire signed the Armistice of Mudros, which jeopardized its political and military existence.

My son.

Oh, my darling!

My son.

Thank God, He has given you to me.

Brother.

Welcome, my son.

Thank you, father.

You've grown up.

You've become a young man.

I'll take my leave now.

We've also taken a break from matches for a while.

The state of the country is well known.

You'll see when you come to the club.

It's not quite the same as it used to be.

Our leader, Mr. Sabri, is also upset.

Because he dragged the country into war, everyone became an enemy of the Unionists.

And to be defeated, to be wrong, to be accused...

Of course, it hurt.

Winner?

You returned.

You are here.

I am working here, in the migrant tents.

After you went to the front, I joined the Red Crescent.

I wrote to you.

Good evening, Peyker.

My darling, my dearest Peyker.

My longing for you grows day by day.

A heavy rain started outside.

The sound of cannons echoes in the distance.

I find solace only in your image. I find it.

They say there will be a big clash with the British tomorrow.

If you don't hear from me again

Know that even in my eternal sleep, I will still be thinking of you.

I was happy that my brother came from the front, but I realized that Galip stayed there, Eleni.

What's with all this pessimism, my dear?

He's unhappy, you're hopeless.

And weren't you preparing a welcome for him?

We are preparing, yes, but...

after the condition of his leg...

This is Galip. Did you forget?

He will get up again.

FENERBAHÇE 2 GALATASARAY 3

WELCOME, CAPTAIN GALİP

Run! Goal, goal!

Pass the ball to my head! Cross the ball!

Goal!

FENERBAHÇE 3 GALATASARAY 3

WELCOME, CAPTAIN GALIP

Captain Galip! Captain Galip!

Mr. Sabri.

Not at all, Mr. Ali Sami. You are our guest. Please come in first.

Well then.

One of the most important football players of our sports community,

The winner of this match, which we organized in the name of Mr. Galip,

was friendship.

Mr. Galip.

We are grateful to you for your contributions to national sports, and more importantly,

for your exemplary sportsmanship to future generations.

- We are grateful, Mr. Ali Sami. - May your presence be everlasting.

My brother Ali Sami said what needed to be said, exceptionally well. Bravo!

As the Fenerbahçe community,

our greatest wish is that our esteemed master of football,

our team captain Galip, takes over as soon as possible

our team.

Galip,

Welcome back to your family.

- Captain Galip! - Come on in. Come.

Very esteemed Ali Sami Bey, Sabri Bey,

My dear brothers, respected football fans.

I offer my gratitude to all of you.

Fenerbahçe is a very exceptional club, not only for its pure football,

but also for its loyalty.

The only activity I am proud of in my remaining years is

being a member of this club at one time.

But undoubtedly

Fenerbahçe is bigger than me.

One victor leaves from here, a thousand victors come.

I

should ask for your forgiveness.

Will you forgive me?

Galip...

The Committee of Union and Progress did the right thing, did the wrong thing.

This accounting no longer has any meaning, my dear Sabri Bey.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

The conclusion is that our homeland is officially and actually under occupation.

They raided the telegraph office today.

If it were bandits coming down from the mountains, if they came and raided,

my heart wouldn't ache this much.

In my Ottoman ideal, to which I dedicated a quarter of a century,

To hand over the key of my office to the enemy with my own hands

hurt me terribly.

- Moreover, with the knowledge of our Sultan. - I don't know about our Sultan.

But the truth is...

This nation will not surrender so easily.

My Pasha.

- Tell me, my daughter. - Mr. Mehmet has arrived, uncle.

Bring him in immediately. Immediately.

Here you go.

- Welcome, Acrobat. - My Pasha.

What did you do?

I was following our man, my Pasha. He belongs to a religious order.

His nature is a bit complicated.

He does unimaginable things.

He's been in Istanbul for a while.

I think he's an intelligence agent.

Some say he's the king's man. He knows the Middle East well.

He knows the peculiarities of the region well. He's fluent in our language.

What's his name?

John Bennett.

Welcome back, General.

I hope you had a nice weekend.

Have you had a chance to see the city?

Not yet.

It's amazing after 500 years to finally back to Constantinople

I imagine we'll have plenty of time for sightseeing. Well we?

The list of barracks and other establishments which are gold.

Have a sit

PLACES UNDER OUR PROTECTION

Very well

Any objections?

Not too many

But Sabri,

Sabri Toprak.

General manager of the Grand Post Office showed a little too much resistance.

Before its abolishment, he was head of secretary of the Committee of Union and Progress Party.

and is also president of a Sports Club called....

Ah, Fenerbahçe.

Are you writing poetry?

I don't write poetry anymore.

After that letter

I waited for days.

Oh God, please, one more.

Just one more.

Let nothing be written inside.

Just one more envelope containing only his breath.

Then when I saw you again

Like a dream, like a miracle...

I went crazy with joy. I ran to you with that speed.

Galip.

- Look, if that's the matter... - Peyker.

Please go.

It means nothing to me.

Peyker! I told you to go.

I know a very good doctor. We'll go to that doctor together...

I don't want it! Don't you understand?

Neither the doctor, nor you, nor anything else.

I am incomplete.

My body is incomplete. My soul is incomplete.

Consider me dead.

Leave me alone.

You're not lacking, you're a coward.

It's easy for you to be dead, isn't it?

You're afraid to live.

No.

Let go!

But you will love it too.

Let me go.

Let me go!

Just let go!

Peyker. Run!

Don't touch him!

Galip!

Galip!

Help! Help!

I wouldn't want to meet Fenerbahçe's...

...captain like this.

If we were in another situation, in another place,

I might even be proud that you have dedicated yourselves to football, an English sport.

I might even be proud.

But life brought us together here, Mr. Galip.

Two opposing castles.

You studied at Saint-Joseph.

You can speak French.

No problem.

Anyway, you too will soon speak the king's language like everyone else.

Like you now speaking our language?

You were discharged with the Treaty of Mondros.

Are you continuing the war, in Constantinople?

The name of this city is Istanbul.

It is you who have come to our lands.

Look at your condition.

You can't even protect a woman. How are you going to save the homeland?

Mr. Sabri. Greetings.

Please come in.

It's so good to see you again after our meeting at the telegraph office.

I can't say the same, Captain.

A gang of thugs who consider themselves soldiers but have no merit whatsoever

attacked a young girl.

Our captain intervened.

Is this the treatment you're getting, Captain? Huh?

Let go of my arm!

Hey, calm down! Lame tiger.

Are you a football player?

Do you have a match with us?

To reach a fair conclusion, We had a conversation with Mr. Galip.

To reach a fair conclusion? I understand.

According to what I've heard lately,
