There is always more than one side of the story

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2017)

I used to hate the Turks for what they did to the Armenians.(I love Turkey as a country though. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth with those rolling hills.)
Over time, I have learned that there are always more than one side of the story.
The atrocities committed should be condemned but it is unfair to heap blames on one side without trying to understand the whole picture (if a whole picture is available) or at least try to understand as much as possible.
The film gives yet another perspective into an era of conflict and violence; an era always forgotten by the rest of the world, or hushed. It shows the worst side of human beings, and the best side as well. We are all capable of noble deeds as well as unspeakable evil as both qualities can be found in us at the same time. We should not forget, but if we cannot forgive, at least we should learn how to put the hate down and pick up compassion again.
BTW: The Americans can be angels, or/and machines of destruction, just like about any race. They have performed so much good, and brought so much sorrow and pain.
