Refreshing Lives...


THE EGO OF AN ATOMIC FILM ! ! ! ;-)

The visit of Atom Egoyan to Buenos Aires lighted the fire of many armenians that were sleeping in the local community. Lots of kids that are far from the active community took the advantage to remember the meaning of being armenian watching the film out. Better news, this week the film is reaching a great goal: One Month in the Cinema!!!
Is very difficult to share a place in the cinema with new hollywoodian films as Matrix II. The mystic of Ararat is still fighting. Now, I wonder how is the reaction of the tiny Turkish community here. It is very loco because many parts of the film were filmed in turkish present lands (or kurdish?, or armenian?). And...there is a question for you. I do not know if you noticed that Atom commited a little historical mistake, but on purpose. When the fedayis are fighting in 1915, the ottoman army is carrying the Attaturkian Modern Turkish Flag and all the soldiers are dressed with the modern republican dress of combat of the Kemalist Revolution, times of Massacre against Armenians and Greeks. Its a little detail that shows the big capacity and intelligence of this director. He is involving the Turkish Republic into the film, and making the great part of this planet see what happened to our Great Parents.

At the photo Atom is holding the poster of the Encyclopedic Page about the Armenian Genocide in spanish: GenocidioArmenio.org . He promised to make an exclusive interview about this topic with the guys of the page.
40 days of Mousa Dagh, Mayrig I and II, and now Ararat ! ! !
