Review of 1915

1915 (2015)
8/10
Thought provoking-Not the 1915 movie I expected!
19 June 2015
This was definitely not the 1915 movie I expected! It did challenge me on what I expected from a 1915 movie.

I found the movie quite arty but well-made. It took me a while to understand the metaphors throughout the movie but that's what I liked about it. It was not as straightforward as many Hollywood movies. It makes you think and reflect about your own feelings about the Armenian Genocide. The movie delved into the topic of denial in a metaphorical way and brings to the audience's attention that the Armenians in the diaspora are still somewhat lost due to this denial of the Armenian Genocide.

A great, challenging movie with great actors and real feeling.The characters were meant to be the current generation of Armenians. The 2 leads where very convincing in their roles. They showed a great depth in characters.

Definitely recommend watching it. Great movie for a debate!
