I meant that Armenians know much more about Armenia then any country, not that others shouldn't make movies. It just doesn't seem as realistic. The Skylark Farm did that a lot. A movie without Armenians in it already seems strange.

I second that ;Love that book!Originally posted by steph View PostLook in the "Bool Review" section here, I think you'll find critiques placed here are as good/bad as anywhere, but a healthy amount of books. My personal choice would be Hayk Ghazarian's.

Gavur, nice point there. Well, I searched for Hayk's book but there seems to be more then one and I can't decide which one you guys are referring to. Please clear that up.
I actually do have a universal theme (if I got what you meant right) and I'm thinking of working General Andranik into the story, maybe even with a seperate mini-plot. It's basically like this. From one village, the main character falls into the Genocide. On the otehr side of Armenia, General Andranik is fighting. What I do is basically tell different stories, bringing them together in a very clever and close way. THey are in no way seperate from each other. Many things lead to the Genocide and you can't explain it with one story so I explain many of them together, showing how everything happened as a whole.I think "the movie", for it to be of any significant value has to have a universal theme that reflects to the past while delibarating with the present and the future is left for the audience to ponder about.It would also be easyer for the audience to stay interested if you have a anti-hero ,a character like Zorba for instance or General Antranik with a humanistic approach and real.THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!Comment
