"Egoyan boldly inspires viewers to deal with issues of cultural memory and responsibility, especially in moments of confusion when family issues intersect with monumental historical facts." -- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES
"After making several adaptations of other writers` work, Armenian-Canadian director Atom Egoyan broached an original treatment of a deeply personal subject." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE`S MOVIE GUIDE
"Hands down the year`s most thought-provoking film. But it pays a price for its intricate intellectual gamesmanship." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
what kind of computer graphics was that?
A masterpiece. A long-awaited movie about the history of the Armenian`s genocide at the hand of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The film is directed beautifully and captures the interest of all viewers with knowledge of this past history or not. A must see for all!
Egoyan tells us that the reality behind the Armenian holocaust is often disputed as well by the ignorant. Was Turkey actually at war with Armenia? Didn`t many Turks die in the war too? Or was it really genocide? (These are all questions asked in the movie -- this is not my interpretation of the events; I certainly don`t deny them.) But history has forgotten Armenia, and Egoyan wants to remind us that something happened there -- though of course, not even he can any longer be sure precisely what. - Christopher Null (Film critic.com)
one word: PROPOGANDA
Firstly, I am not Turkish, I`m Portugese. I am a Univ. student majoring in World History in Toronto. This is the second attempt from the same director to show "the WORLD" what many ppl believe that happened during world "WAR" one which means that two sides were fighting with weapons. I believe that Armenia got weapons from Russia, which has been proven. Yes I believe many ppl died during this event. Yet, this film was strongly depicted as an Anti-Turkish film which is a soul purpose to negativeley alter the ppls perspective on Turkey and its past.
Amazing moving!! It had a great effect on me and made me relive some of grandfather`s experiences during WWI
ARARAT Movie. Is big prove of the 1st Armenian GENOCIDE has been done by Ottomans Empires in 1915th, and it`s one part of it, which happened in VAN City (of Armenia) now part of Turkey.

So this is one of it! About my Grate-Grandparents, The People with No Sensibility and No Morality! It was in April/1969, when I was 8 years old.
