1915

This movie is pretty politicized but more importantly it will not satisfy Armenians who thirst for information about 1915. It will not satisfy those who don't know much about the issue or history. It will definitely not satisfy any Turks, Kurds, Circassians, Assyrians, or anyone else involved in the 30-years of historical events.

It's basically a movie trying to profit by confusing the issue about a dark chapter in history and monetizing this sacred issue for Armenians.

The way that the film turns a play into a sort of historical event with unprofessional actors and ridiculous scenarios is just upsetting and a disgusting way of looking at a very SERIOUS issue.

Sam Page is probably the worst actor in the movie. It's just sort of strange and amateurish the whole way it's put together. It tries to dramatize it by watering it down and politicize something that should be seriously studied and remembered. Also I was a bit disturbed and felt weirded out with the way the movie describes as "a crime was invented" like as if extermination or mass murder is something new or like colonialism or conquest or extermination never happened before. The crime cannot be forgotten just because someone wants it to be but it surely wasn't invented in 1915.

I mean the movie has a line like "maybe the play should have a happy endings" and "you are destroying the Armenian people." Like it's hammering you over the head with its obvious message by saying how naive the audience is.

Never Again.

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!

I'm thankful to the whole team of "1915 The Movie" film. The film examines, not only the land where 2 millions Armenians lived 100 years ago, but also the state of soul/mind of today's Armenians as well as the psychological influence of 100 years survival (the dramatic change). The film is breathtaking, which shows the complete essence of Armenian people the importance of facing your real truth, the fight for justice in our souls; even though, we sometimes deny it in order to not feel the pain of our nation. The BEST PART of this film is the deep passion, not only of the filmmaker, but of the whole team of 1915--this makes film beautiful with its psychologically tragic elements.Another BEST PART of the film is the element about the truly need of justice. Thank you for this important MOVING STORY FILM, THE 1915 THE MOVIE

A complicated film about the echoing effects of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the descendants of survivors today. There are many poignant moments in this film which will touch the heart of any survivor of genocide, however it tries to cover such a complex issue in a short amount of time that it becomes convoluted. But films which require you to think are the best ones. I'll be watching it a 2nd time. Even Siamanto says this story cannot be told.

Don't expect a historical film about the events of 1915 nor the current day politics on the issue. Anyone in these comments who give it 1 star are clearly DENIALIST TURKS. If you suggest this is a political film you obviously haven't seen it and have another agenda. If anything this film suggests Armenians and Turks should get past their differences.

I downloaded the movie in HD through the official website, expecting a historical drama about the Armenian genocide. Instead, what I watched was a a thrilling psychological movie with a message and intended for a wide audience, be it Turk, Armenian or other. It was beautiful to watch a movie that could break boundaries and make you think deep.

I agree it's not for everybody, everyone can have their own perception but I understand the importance of such movies. The Armenian genocide of 1915 affected real people and their ancestors, the movie talks about real experience in a contemporary world. watch it. I also recommend the soundtrack, it was beautiful and I found out that Serj Tankian was the musical director. The music played a good role in putting me in the vibe and I felt something very strong at the end of it all.
