Customer Reviews of Ararat
THERE NEVER WAS A GENOCIDE This film is excellent fiction, funny part is that some people actually are innocent enough or naive enough to believe in the GROSS FALSITY dissipated by sour Armenians. <
>Armenians formed vicious militia armies, during and before the 1915 era, colluded with Russian army during the Turco-Russian war, thus committing treason, and finally butchered and massacred hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian Anatolian turks. <
>I tis unbelievable that, just because Armenians are christians and Turks are mainly Muslims, many reviewers are gobbling up the HUGE LIE and crime perpetrated by Armenians. <
> <
>But I give the movie 3 stars still. It does a good job, just like the unacceptable "The Midnight Express" had done. <
>Lobbies of Armenians and Greeks uniting once again to try and harm Turks...Keep up the work boys...you will never win.
Excellent
It's a great movie, revealing the truth about the Armenian genocide committed by the Turks, and masterfully concealed not only by Turkey, but also here in the U.S.A., by government officials, and the media!
Regardless of the subject, this is a great movie!
A while back a friend of mine (a *HUGE* Egoyan fan) and I (who views his movies kind of as "take it or leave it") got into a heated debate about this movie over lunch. I loved the movie; I thought that it was intricate, had great characters which were subtle and well written, and flowed from the past to the present beautifully. My friend could not forgive the "movie about making a movie" plot; he thought it was just too cheesy and it ruined the whole experience for him.

>There are some heated reviews of this movie based on it's subject--did it really happen? did it really happen as Egoyan portrayed it? are people using the term "Holocaust" and "genocide" injudiciously?

<
>For me, when I think of this movie, I think of the conversation between me and my friend. Just as a movie, regardless of Armenian "experience", this is still a great movie.

<
>What I loved about it was the personal relationships outside of the broader scope of historical events-- a young man trying to navigate between his relationship with his mother and his girlfriend, a father coming to terms with his gay son, an actor trying to portray something larger than himself, and all the characters trying to come to terms with an event from which they are all far removed. For me this movie is about a historical event (subject to much debate) _AND_ the inter-twining lives of people who otherwise would never have met.

>In response to my sullen and disappointed friend: I thought the "movie about making a movie" plot was brilliant because you never know what you are watching--the "truth" about what really happened, or the "movie" the characters are making about what happened or what they want people to *think* happened.

<
>Now, one could make an argument that it's impossible for me to disregard the controversial "subject" of the movie and just see an inter-play between characters, and for those of you who think that . . . well, that's what I enjoyed about this movie.

>PS: I thought the speacial features on the DVD were kind of lame and didn't match my emotional experience watching the movie. Just skip the features.
