It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
A different way of telling a story
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The movie is great. The music is amazing. The story is deep.It makes you understand how difficult it is to make decisions in complicated situations (not that the Armenian genocide was just a complicated situation: it has been an horrible atrocity).At the end the movie left me with a conflict inside.The actors did a great job.Amazing job by the directors.I hope in a sequel.
How do you make a movie about the Genocide without showing blood? How do you present a crime of the century without boring the audience with a pile of historical facts? How do you 100 years later make a movie with which the spectator can identify with? It has been done. It has been done in this movie called 1915. A profound movie for those who appreciate fine art. This movie is for those who think of a film not only as a form of entertainment but as art in motion. I truly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.I watched it with my family members. The movie sparked a long discussion in our family. Most of us thought it was an awesome movie.
I would have given this movie an 8 or 9 out of 10, except that this movie is SO underrated that I have to give it a 10. What's not to like? Simon Abkarian proves once and for all that he is a powerful, multi-faceted leading man. Meanwhile, Angela Sarafyan is stunning and hypnotic. Why aren't these actors getting props? Sam Page plays his role exactly as he needs to, while Nikolai Kinski reaches for the moon and lands among the stars for sure. One more thing: the theater is GORGEOUS. And Leigh Underwood's photography is just as beautiful and elegant as the theatre. A wonderful movie, if you like this kind of movie. If you don't, then why are you watching it anyway?
A complicated film about the echoing effects of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the descendants of survivors today. There are many poignant moments in this film which will touch the heart of any survivor of genocide, however it tries to cover such a complex issue in a short amount of time that it becomes convoluted. But films which require you to think are the best ones. I'll be watching it a 2nd time. Even Siamanto says this story cannot be told.Don't expect a historical film about the events of 1915 nor the current day politics on the issue. Anyone in these comments who give it 1 star are clearly DENIALIST TURKS. If you suggest this is a political film you obviously haven't seen it and have another agenda. If anything this film suggests Armenians and Turks should get past their differences.
