Political aspect of the film[]
Illustrating the class differences in society during the mid-Ottoman era is one of the key elements of the film. Poor peasant Polat has to kill a wealthy landlord because he tries to take Polat's lover away from him by stating that a peasant even doesn't have the right to talk to such an influential person. This depiction is a classic of Remzi Jöntürk films, even for the action based ones, frequently emphasizing on class struggles in society. The film also has references to the medieval understanding of honor and how it was, in some cases, more significant than state affairs.[3]
