This is a brutal misappropriation of a heroic historical position. This comes at the time where what we call today Romanians, were called Vlah/Moldovean/Ardelean, and Romanorum was used until very recently for what we call today Byzantines. All in all it is a misuse of the historical figure of Mihai Viteazul/cel Viteaz (the Great), as a figure uniting a nation that did not exist for another quarter of a millennium.
The movie is a joke in representing the past, but it serves as a somewhat expected depiction of one would expect in hindsight to be said about him today, to serve for the future.
The documentary overlay is not balanced, but can reveal a few facts for one to start digesting on the really outstanding profile of the hero. In the appropriated history of what is now known as Romania, Mihai stands out as one of the five huge personalities (possibly the greatest?) that shaped the course of European history by people speaking a Romanian language and acting in the Balkans.
