an exercise

not remarkable but not bad. parts from Pentru Patrie și Războiul de Independență, few god performances and Sergiu Nicolaescu in role of Carol as end of a circle. sure, many possibilities for do a real good film. but the large image is nice. it is not a manifesto, it is not unique. only an exercise, almost honest, about first Romanian king. and the meeting with Razvan Vasilescu as Ion Brătianu or Claudiu Istodor as Marghiloman, with the scenes of another Nicolaescu films - like in a time trip - has not disappointment result. good point - Crown Concil scene. its tension, dialogs and Carol as lion in winter are important ingredients of an important moment. but, after death of a director, his movies are free birds. only public has answers to questions. the rest remains silence.

Excellent movie

Excellent movie-documentary, especially for those who love history. For sure not a good movie for those who are crazy about commando movies, with that kind of hero who cannot be shot by hundreds of enemies, but he can kill 10 with a single bullet. If one is familiar with the Romanian actors, will be delighted to see again actors that have left this world long time ago, like Amza Pellea, Colea Rautu, Cornel Coman and many others from the golden generation of the 70's and 80's. What's more about this movie/documentary, it's the history as we, those who were born between 50's and 80's, didn't knew it, but the communist version imposed in public schools, where the kings and capitalists were bad for the country.
