Complete disaster!

Warning: Spoilers
This isn't documentary movie they say. Well that's true. It's not documentary. It's a parody. Lies here are numerous, but here are some obvious: 1. Evidence that somebody is a complete liar is that they not just put wrong Coat of Arms of Serbia (fire steels in CoA of Serbia are in opposite direction) in scenes with throne of Lazar, in the same time they used CoA of Serbia on soldiers shield in complete opposite way than that wrong way in first place. Somebody didn't even took some basic historical research to at least get proper emblems of two sides in war. 2. They call him King Lazar while they mean on person who was actually a prince (but not like a son of a king ("princ" in Serbian) - he actually was something ("knez" in Serbian) like duke, because he ruled with just one part of Serbian Empire which collapsed right before Ottoman invasion). 3. Previous lie is nothing comparing to this one. That Lazar lived in 14th century. Fought in the Battle of Kosovo against Turks and died in very same day when a battle took place. That was 28th of June 1389. In the description of the movie is next: "The period after the Sultan Mehmed II (the Conqueror) conquered Constantinople, moving towards Europe in the fifteenth century , and Sultan Mehmed's determination to spread Islam in Europe by the superb morals of Muslims then." Constantinople fell 29th of May 1453 (almost 64 years after Lazar's ). In the time of Lazar, Turks were lead by sultan Murad I (who also died in same battle as Lazar btw). 4. The most hilarious lie in this movie (and ultimate proof that this is such a revisionist and anti Serb propaganda movie) is that in Serbian army are some key role figures ("heroes") named Milosevic and Karadzic!!! REALLY!?!? With surnames exactly the same like: -Serbian president Slobodan MILOSEVIC from, not 13th, 14th, or 15th century but from 20TH CENTURY who was later accused for war crimes against Croats and MUSLIM population in Yugoslavia in those 1990's wars on Balkan? -Radovan KARADZIC Bosnian Serb who served as a president of Republika Srpska also in 20TH CENTURY, also during 1990's wars and also accused against war crimes particularly against MUSLIMS in Bosnia. While in real history of course there were no such a persons who did anything significant during Ottoman invasion with last name Milosevic or Karadzic. And nonsense is even greater when you realize that the last name "Karadzic" couldn't even exist among Serbs before Turks occupied Serbia since that family name came from Turkism in Serbian language derived from Turkish word "kara" which means "black" and since all Turkic words in Serbian language came as a consequence of centuries of occupation by Turks (which took place after even those happenings depicted in a movie) giving us a real proof of ignorance, revisionism, propagandistic aspirations and viciousness of creators of this movie. It's one thing when somebody romanticize it's own role in history or tries to say it's own side of a story but it's a whole other thing (that really shouldn't be allowed) when somebody filming complete lies and nonsense. You can't for example put name Hitler as a Austrian hero in a movie about French conquest of Europe lead by Napoleon Bonaparte, or make those Austrians fight under Latvian flag while they are lead by wrong titled ruler of Bavaria. That's wrong on so many levels. Only if you making a parody but maybe not even than.
