question:
WHAT A MOVIE . one of the most powerful and disturbing movies i have ever seen.  thank god for the canadians.  i doubt this could have been made in america.  but it was disturbing.  i grew to literally hate some of the people in thia movie and had to shake off what i felt when they found it was time to pay the piper.  this should be required watching for all straight people.  maybe then they would figure out that pediphiles are not gay.  there is a vast difference between gay males and pedophiles.  anyway, i can not recommend this movie strongly enough.  the acting and the group of people  who directed and produced this movie were very brave in doing so.  this is a taboo subject in the u.s.  once again, thanks to the canadians and the european's who DO make this type of movie.    gary in az
answer:
NEG


question:
An excellent film with a wonderful pace . This film is as slow as a day in your own childhood but with plenty to do and see in the nothing of it all. The vivid transparency  from which the director coaxes  all the many simple details is astonishing. This sort of cinema must be very hard to bring together as almost no one can really pull it off. The Japanese director Ozu was the master of it.And this is about as close as can get to a modern version of him. It's really about the events of two brothers in  childhood  and I can't say enough good about it.   I have seen it twice and I can only imagine it getting better with successive viewings. The only sort of awkward bit for me was when nature talked back in the guise of woodland hags etc.. but I never thought nature needed a human voice to speak for itself
answer:
POS


question:
Biased propaganda buy . The Armenian Genocide is a biased piece of propaganda, if you want a truly impartial view of the events buy and view "The Armenian Revolt" by Martin Callaghan an independent US producer it is much more professional and impartial in it's production.    What the Armenian Genocide does not tell you is that the Armenians started revolting and murdered over 500,000 thousand Turks to begin with.  Further, the statistics used in the program are bogus.  Even according to Armenian Sources there were not 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire during that period.  Further, at the end of World War 1 the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and the British controlled the former Ottoman Capital of Istanbul.  They conducted a witch hunt, they arrested 144 Ottoman Officials of the leadership including the then eqivulant to the prime minister and conveyed them to their island colony of Malta.  After two and a half years of exhuastive inquiries they could not find any evidence whatsoever to charge any of them let alone convict.  All 144 Ottoman Officials were released and allowed to return home.  Further the investigator Lord Curzon (well known for his hatred of Turks) asked the US Government of the day to provide any evidence they may have had in their possession.  An answer came back that the US did not have any evidence with which to use against the Ottoman leadership.    What the Armenian Diaspora could not achieve via armed conflict and legal means is now trying to achieve politically and by using propaganda like this particular documentary.  There is always two sides to every story and the Armenians will not allow the Turks to put theirs forward.    [...
