grigoriadistheo 1. You cannot make cinema with propaganda in your mind. 2. Artistically it was like a TV serial film.
VillainousCurr The acting and the cinematography are somewhat lacking but that doesn't seem to be the issue. It slightly grazed the issue of 1915 and is getting the flames because of it. Also there are many people getting their panties in a bunch and calling this a "propaganda" movie. But if you actually pay attention and watch the movie then, you clearly see multiple scenes which show the Turkish disregard for Armenians and there are also multiple scenes where the Turks kill Armenians left and right. So all of these assumptions stem from Lt. Veli(who is the main guy in the romance subplot btw) showing care for the Armenian lives. I am going to ask a simple question. Since when do the main guys in romantic pairings do immoral things? He shows regard because he is the chosen love interest for Lillie.
anna_bella_86 Ben Kingsley and Haluk Bilginer were great. And it's good to see the genocide story objectively.
rashaalkallas Very fake movie trying to clean the killers and make the events look like regular war between two sides
