Barardinelli says it doesn't do a good job in convincing him to care about the Armenian genocide. As I said in the main post, it seems to me that it is mostly about the process of coming to terms with the past. So it sort of takes as a given the fact that you have a deep horror to the Armenian genocide, and then explores how those feelings manifest themselves and can possibly be dealt with. An important movie to make. But perhaps of more importance to those people actually actively trying to understand their own difficult histories than to the general public simply trying to learn the story of a horrible chapter of modern history.Boazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155550486435568853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13957333.post-1122843968082398322005-07-31T14:06:00.000-07:002005-07-31T14:06:00.000-07:00The director was Atom Agoyan.

Sometimes a thing has become popularized, then it stays popular whatever the situation is. No challenge or question. <BR/><BR/>I would like to make a movie. I was watching an interview with Wes Anderson about the making of his movie, The Royal Tenenbaums. It's neat, and inspiring.Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806139721165435787noreply@blogger.com
