gentilieza Nur has been sending me this review of a movie that cares about the content and continent to usher in a genocide silenced for years and years still expect recognition of their existence. Prepretado by the government of "young Turks during the Ottoman Empire and skewed the lives of more than 1 million Armenians forced to leave Turkey under persecution mass murder of women and children, systematic torture of the population, forced marches through the desert without food or water Anatolia and endless barbarities that just seeing the photos you get a clue ...
Turkey still denies the charges auspices where the deaths were a result of the turbulent times experienced by the country during the First World War, but obviously behind all this are a series of tremendous political and economic implications.
is not looking good and bad, it is recognized that there was not to happen again but, unfortunately for all mankind seem obstinate in not remembering the past and learn from their mistakes ...

Genocide arm NIO
ARARAT directed by Atom Egoyan
Although a film of 2002, surely many of you will have seen not because they do not fall within the group of "commercial movies", which sometimes makes you think. But I wanted to because I think comentárosla which is an interesting film, which has one more of the genocide made throughout history, in many cases unknown or worse, totally ignored.
The shooting of a film about the Armenian genocide, the uneasy relationship of an art teacher with his son and his stepdaughter, the story behind a picture of an Armenian painter, and the rejection of a policeman to his gay son are just some of the storylines of this complex film. His goal is clear: to demonstrate how the past influences the obsessions and problems of today. Interesting is also the conclusion drawn after seeing the film: the importance Art is the time to reflect and diffuse a historical fact. Ararat
intertwines the stories of these two families, unresolved inner conflicts. Raffi, of Armenian descent, struggles with the memory of his father, the painter Arshile Gorky, and opposing reactions that memory inspires in his mother, Ani, haunted by a past that refuses, and his sister, Celia, who blames Ani by the death of his father. On the other hand, David (customs officer) tries to understand and accept the relationship with his son Philip is an actor of Turkish descent, Ali while trying to establish a solid relationship with his grandson, Tony, the son of Philip.
Considered one of the most personal filmmakers today's scene, Atom Egoyan returns to lecture about obsession and loss in Ararat. In it the author wanted to tell their unique vision of the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. However, far from linearity prevailing in today's cinema, the Canadian-Armenian director plunges us into a complex network of interwoven stories, where past and present, reality and film feed back and influence. In short, as Egoyan himself says: "Ararat discusses the role that art can play in our struggle to find happiness after the genocide."
Closer reflection on the loss analysis of obsessions, Egoyan returns to touch us with a strong and sensitive film, but avoids the melodramatic excess to which we are accustomed to American films. The film as much with a tasteful and restrained direction of actors, a more efficient work of the entire cast and wise portrayal of the filmmaker. Although, the uneven development of different plots and various loose ends in the script a bit unbalanced and developed a smart film, but in any case is an excellent film with a soundtrack magnificent.
Note: The painter Arshile Gorky is not a invented character, is real, it was a genocide survivor, and you can dig into their tumultuous existence until the suicide ..... Do you sound? In fact, this movie poster is based on one of his paintings.
