Just distorted history and some drama

Rating: 4/10 (29 August 2015)

Thank you producer for the selection of this arabic-like font in starting titles. That was an honest demonstration of the following point of view of the historic events that are being recounted in the movie. But this historic events are narrated not only by an Ottomanic point of view, but also in a PRO New-Turk thesis. A thesis close to argue into justifying the first war crimes (and Nazi copied) against humanism in 20th century... Hail Kemal the partizan... I could talk specifically about the historic inaccuracies, such as the so many times presented as "greek invasion" into Asia Minor, Smyrna etc (Greeks was granted the control of Smyrna territory by Andante allies AT THAT TIME; from there after Kemal's opposition and sedition against Treaty of Sèvres, they invade further inland) or some massacres from Greek irregulars (?) etc; but these are just the many small bricks that build the previously stated...
It's a good-written movie, with pacifist meaning, worth seeing it, but not without a great amount of critical thought while doing so. Take a book afterwards. About "Armenian (and Assyrian and Pontiac-Greek) Holocaust". Just to find out why I am moaning.
