What makes it different from others?
Good concept, poorly executed.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
This movie is ok, the plot is actually quite good and well filmed and directed. If only the production would have spent a bit more money on decent actors! Did they actually audition for this? They are so bad
The acting and the cinematography are somewhat lacking but that doesn't seem to be the issue. It slightly grazed the issue of 1915 and is getting the flames because of it. Also there are many people getting their panties in a bunch and calling this a "propaganda" movie. But if you actually pay attention and watch the movie then, you clearly see multiple scenes which show the Turkish disregard for Armenians and there are also multiple scenes where the Turks kill Armenians left and right. So all of these assumptions stem from Lt. Veli(who is the main guy in the romance subplot btw) showing care for the Armenian lives. I am going to ask a simple question. Since when do the main guys in romantic pairings do immoral things? He shows regard because he is the chosen love interest for Lillie.
A colossal bore! Avoid this one for sure. Full of cliches with an extremely boring plot!
This film is a propaganda to clear the name of the ottoman empire (Old Version of ISIS ) the film putting the victims (Syriac, Assyrian, Greek & Armenian ) on the same page with the terrorists the ottoman Empire, 2.5 millions Christians killed at that time it is a big Genocide, and this film try to clear the killers
