Summary: A Must-See Movie
Review: This past Friday, a new movie theater opened in Washington, and was showing Ararat, along with the typical Hollywood fare. I, for one, am quite glad that I skipped the usual tripe and opted for Ararat instead. This gripping story of the horrors of the Armenian Genocide should not be missed. The sorrow and disgust you feel for the characters is more real than anything one could feel since Schindler's List. Highly recommended.

Summary: Very demanding and serious movie
Review: If you're into typical hollywood movies (action, sex, violence) this is not the movie for you...go watch the James Bond flick instead. There is one sex scene, some violence and a rape scene. The movie is not perfect (I thought the sex scene was not necessary), but it makes up for the shortcomings in many other ways.It is a very thought-provoking, multi-dimensional movie about one of the most horrific crimes of the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide....beware that you can't blink or you'll miss a plot or two. This film is not a documentary about the Armenian Genocide. It is about the modern day lives of people that are impacted by the genocide (denial). I don't think this will do any justice in teaching about the Genocide to people that don't know much about it. The current politics of the denial are concealed in the many sub-plots throughout the movie. I watched the film last night and I'm still thinking about it and analyzing it with others. There are too many stories and plots in this film. I'm going to watch it again to get a grasp of everything that was happening.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: This movie is amazing. Atom Egoyan is amazing. One of the best directors of our time. For those of you who dont like this movie, this is why. 1)You have no sense of what makes a good movie and should go watch Scooby Doo. OR 2)You are a Turk who is in denial just like your government. Take your pick.

Summary: peace
Review: After "midnight express", another film to harm Turkey and its people. That kind of films will only create hatred. American Armenians are already prejudice and brainwashed about "so called
genocide".Some Armenians in the U.S. are making big money on this issue. However, Turkish Armenians got hurt with the production of this film. Turks, Turkish Armenians and Armenia Armenians are trying to build good relations in peace. Please stop preventing it.

Summary: A must see !!!
Review: Finally a thought provoking movie.Egoyan,with his unique style, was able to tell the public about the atrocities,that were and still are denied by Turkey,while making the ugly past part of the problematic present of all the parties involved (Armenians, non-Armenians and Turks). A must see for all !!!

Summary: Pretty sad
Review: .... This movie is about Raffi,whos dead dad is labeled as a "terrorist" . Raffi is sleeping with his step sister(whos a hoe)she blames raffis mom cuz her dad died but shes just lyin cuz shes freakin pshyco. Raffi is basically taing her side over his own mothers. When his mother is asked to be a historical consultant for a movie about the genocide, raffi works on set and slowly learns about the torture the armenians went through.Eventually Raffi matures when he comes back from a trip to armenia and if u want to know the rest go watch the movie. This movie is the sad truth, children being nailed to crosses,young women forced to dance naked and then burned to death,12 year old girls raped in front of their younger siblings,pregnent women having their unborn babies torn out of their stomach and then raped,and so on.Ya its sad..just watch it.

Summary: A warped movie, evoking racism and hatred.
Review: This so called genocide was just as bad as when the north killed hundreds of thousands of southerners, during the civil war. Those blood hungry ravages, oh wait, the north was fighting the south for political reasons. This film basically depicts Turks as Nazis without much factualy support. For a man (the director), who just recently admits he is armenian, this film just makes no sense.
Rating:
Summary: It is a BIG DREAM STORY
Review: It is just a dream story. The movie doesn't reflect the thruts. The real fact is opposite of the subject. During the world war Armenians killed many TURKS in the east of Turkey. Its a big shame to prepare this kind a film. I think Armenian lobby in state try to change the world people minds with their lies.

Summary: An extraordinary film on what it is to be an Armenian today.
Review: This movie was well done and should deserve praise and admiration, and not as a tool for politics. This movie depicts what how Armenians have come to cope with the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian people. Even if you dispute the historical facts, you should go and see it, for this movie is not a historical lesson but lesson on what it is to be an Armenian today. For it is because of The Genocide that Armenians are what they are today, scattered to every corner of the globe.
