Engin Altan Duzyatan: Resurrection Ertugrul (Dirilis Ertugrul) Changed My Life

Engin Altan Duzyatan, the main character in the Turkish TV series Resurrection Ertugrul (Dirilis Ertugul), stated that his role of Ertugrul Gazi changed his life. He stated that “It is very important to play Ertugrul Gazi who is the hero of our ancestry. Of course, this role has changed something in my life. I am the man who always tries to act carefully, but I am trying to live my private life more carefully since I took the role of Ertugrul Gazi.”

“The Love Towards Our Job Increases Our Work Enthusiasm”

“It makes us too happy to see how much people love our job and it also increases our work enthusiasm. We have seen this in our episode ratings but to see people’s energy directly with our eyes is much better. We have been trying to deserve this love. We work five days in a week and I hope that this love will increasingly continue to grow.

“There Is A Job Offer From Abroad But I Do Not Have Time”

“I have received some job offers from abroad but it is very difficult to do it due to differences concerning work order between Turkey and abroad. In Turkey, we can shoot films only during summer time. However, in abroad, films also require working during winter time. I do not have any time during winter time due to my tv series. Because of this reason, I could not take part in foreign project. I hope that I will do in the future. ”

I Would Prefer Seeing Turkish Projects’ Success in Abroad”

“I want to see Turkish actors and actresses in Hollywood projects but I would prefer seeing Turkish projects in Hollywood. I want to see the success of our own projects in Hollywood.”

“At this age, I have received a very good role. I received Ertugrul Gazi role when I was 35 years old and I have been playing in this tv series for 2 years. I don’t want to plan what will happen after Resurrection Ertugrul tv series. I usually want to look at what is happening now. I am trying to enjoy this time.”

  • I am from Southern California and now live in Arizona. My fiancé and I stumbled across Resurrection on Netflix and we are totally hooked! We’ve so enjoyed learning about the customs and love of The Islam religion from this Turkish story. Gotta love the holy man in this series with his calm and wise teachings. What happened to Halime after Osmon was born was heart breaking. Cried so hard and what a performance from both her and Ertugrul! Hope to see much more of all the great cast members in movies here in the states in the future! Thank you for a beautiful show.

  • EU SIMPLESMENTE AMEI,ASSISTI TODAS TEMPORADAS,PENA QUE ACABOU,CHOREI QUANDO HALIME MORREU,QUANDO SUGURTEKIN ENCONTROU A MÃE,SERIE EMOCIONANTE,ANSIOSA PARA ASSISTIR OSMAN DIRILLIS.

  • Hi I really liked when you acted in Ertugral. Me and my uncle are totally obsessed with it. I actually started crying when Suleyman shah died. I am Muslim and totally love it. You really suit being Ertugral. I am 13 years old and I am so obsessed with this. Inshallah I will be coming to Turkey to meet you when I grow up.

  • I am not Muslim, knew very little about islam, but after I watch seasons 1&2 of Resurrection Ertugrul in Netflix, I learned a lot of its values and morals of a true Muslim. Who would believe that in 2 weeks time, I finished watching seasons 3 to 5 of this historical tv series in Netflix. I never stopped watching till my eyes give up watching. I cried a lot, laughed out loud a lot (Bamsi and his son’s talks about sword wielding and books). My eyelids turned into butterfly wings when Turgut’s face is on close up and how the love of Ertugrul for Halime made me hate more my ‘infidel ex’. I cried seeing Hayme anne and Halime portraying he roles of worried mothers and as women of the tribe. Can’t wait to see the sequel and Turgut of course (hope it’s still Cengin doing the role).

  • I was born in Africa. Loved middle Eastern movies from when I was a kid. I’ve spent most of my life in the United States but never lost my interest in Middle Eastern music and movies. Of course with subtitles in English.

    I came across Ertugrul on Netflix and fell in love with the show and it’s characters. It makes me sad, happy and very interested. I wish it wouldn’t end. Gosh some of the characters death made me so sad. Especially the good guys and girls.

  • I completely agree!

    Also, I feel Turkish period masterpieces like this show and articulate much more heart, passion and emotion , than in the US. They educate us and have us analyzing our own morality, civility, and humanity. Thank you my fellow Turks, love from the US.

    • Agreed. They showed all types and their common motives ( greed ,power, jealousy , competition and a misguided sense of vengeance.)

      When watching Osman you see the same bad apples emerge. Just look at Bamsi's face. Same ole same ole. Lol!

  • Season 5 was amazing I'm going to be sad to watch this great show end the events in season 5 breathed new life into the show with the events that led up to the War I wish we could watch another season and see the War unfold but that's wishful thinking

  • I found this series on Netflix here in Oregon and fell in love with it. I have also learned a lot about the Turkish religion. Very educating series. With each new series I found I get so caught up with what’s happening, I’m cheering, crying when the alps die, such an emotional series. For me I watch for the entertainment, but this series is so much more. Thank you...and I never want it to end.

  • I'm from America and have enjoyed so many Turkish movies especially Resurrection. I started season 4 two days ago. Does anyone know if there will be a season 5? If so will that start with the Ottoman Empire? I have a feeling this is where the story is going. So interesting. I've learned so much about the history of this country just from watching the show.

  • I love this show.....I have been binge watching for 3 weeks now and I can't get enough....the acting is incredible and I love all the characters on the show.....I am just starting season 3 now on Netflix and I am hoping season 4 & 5 will also be available in the near future.....I just love Turkish movies and TV series, I am from the United States and they are some of the best I have seen....Gorgeous Turkish men !!!
