Okay ... this was, in fact, a generally good movie ... however, being Armenian myself, I felt as if though it somehow failed to educate those who STILL don't know the events that took place in 1915. There were so many different Okay ... this was, in fact, a generally good movie ... however, being Armenian myself, I felt as if though it somehow failed to educate those who STILL don't know the events that took place in 1915. There were so many different complications in the movie, and it made it confusing. The writer didn't clarify the association between some of the events, and what the symbolisms were and what they meant to Armenian people. Those who don't know the sacred Wedding Dance don't understand why that was such a degrading memory, and it could have been explained better. Also, the director knew what kind of audience he would be targeting and I felt as if though that whole sex scene between Celia and Raffi was completely and utterly inappropriate ... there was absolutely no point in that scene, at all. (It's kind of embarrassing when you're sitting next to an 80-year-old woman while that scene was in motion.) And what exactly did the marijuana have to do with anything? How did it affect the movie? I just don't know ... it IS better than nothing, and I am proud that finally a movie was made to educate others of my proud culture, but still ... the expectations were high, and I do feel failed ... if I somehow missed something and that is why my appreciation for the movie isn't as high as it should be, feel free to let me know... Thank You.… Expand
