Movie Reviews of Ararat
Movie Review: complicated? not really.........
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Atom Egoyan film i have ever seen,and I LOVED IT! His portrayal of the genicied is heartbreaking, especialy when you realize that no one that i know of had ever heard of the geniced!I am severly dissapointed in the reviews i have seen in the papers, the majority of them trashed Ararat stating it's plot was too "complicated". Well, I took my 13 yr old daughter and she understood the movie just fine! The only flaw i could find in the movie was the acting skills of the step-sister. The movie required moe of a persona and more effort that she just wasn't giving.other then that, the movie was a amazing experience! Please go see it!
Movie Review: A pity.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a pity that some customers have been writing racist texts. Egoyan is an excellent artist trying to make serious things, and racist approaches can only destroy his efforts for a better world, a world with mutual understanding between different peoples. The Armenian Genocide was not done by "the Turks" but by a political regime, as well as the Jewish Genocide was done by the Nazis and not by the whole population of Germany and Austria. The permanent denial of the Genocide by the successive Turkish governments is a sad reality. Let's try to improve it.Movie Review: Facing the Pain of a Past long Hidden
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a masterpiece. I have seen it three times and wanted to see it again but it was not allowed more than 5 days!!small budget...huge work. The ideas jostling through the movie are profound and disturbing. What happens to hidden untold memories? this is the main issue in this movie . What happens when three generations live through these atrocities? the truth cannot be distroyed. the nightmare does never dissapate. That's the central emotional thrust of "Ararat". It's a shame this movie is not thaught in every classroom! a must see.Movie Review: An extraordinary film on what it is to be an Armenian today.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was well done and should deserve praise and admiration, and not as a tool for politics. This movie depicts what how Armenians have come to cope with the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian people. Even if you dispute the historical facts, you should go and see it, for this movie is not a historical lesson but lesson on what it is to be an Armenian today. For it is because of The Genocide that Armenians are what they are today, scattered to every corner of the globe.Movie Review: Social - Political Responsibility....this is US!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is about the Turkish-Armanian conflicts and (alleged?) genocide of around 1915. This is a five-star plus film, knowing that sometimes incidents - "facts" - portrails are enhanced - embellished for dramatic purposes....This is one side of what Im sure is a very complicated, detailed story-history....that deserves more details for a serious historian, but is a good mix with compelling entertainment. worth seeing more than once, even at theatre prices!
