Dün gece Jonathan'la Harvard'daki film salonunda Hititler adında bir belgesel seyrettik. Bir Türk tarafından yapılmış, Hitit tarihini başından sonuna kadar anlatıyordu. Yüzlerce, binlerce tabletlere yazılmış olan çok ilginç bilgiler bugüne kadar kalmayı başarabilmiş. 3000 yıl öncesinden bahsediyoruz! Film tam 2 saatti... yani biraz uzundu ama çok ilginçti!
İşte filmin özeti (buradan alınmıştır):

The Hittites...
Narrated by Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons and accompanied by an unforgettable musical score performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, The Hittites tells the story of a great empire, a testament to one of the most dynamic and turbulent periods in human history: the Late Bronz Age, when the ancients lived by the words, "conquer or be conquered". Filmed in more than 100 days of principal photography in 40 locations across Asia, Europe and Africa with a gifted cast and crew of 400, it is the first feature-length film about this magnificent and mighty civilization. Based in Istanbul, skilled artisans and craftsmen built more than 23,000 props, models, costumes and sets, including a 1/40th scale model of Hattusa, the ancient Hittite capital, full-scale working chariots, and replicas of ancient statuary, pottery, armor and weaponry - making The Hittites one of the most ambitious and comprehensive documentary ever attempted.
