What the Film is About

Ararat is really a movie about Turkish denial, and is a movie within a movie. For example, Bruce Greenwood portrays an American actor who is hired by the director of the "inner movie" to portray the role of missionary Clarence Ussher, M.D.

In many scenes Greenwood is actually portraying the missionary doctor, and in other scenes, is portraying the actor as he researches his part. The story centers around the transformation that takes place in a young "American" boy named Raffi (David Alpay) as he helps out in the making of a film by director Eduard Saroyan (Charles Aznavour). Raffi's mother, Ani (played by Arsinee Khanjian, Atom Egoyan's real life wife) is an art historian and expert on Arshile Gorky, an Armenian born in Van, Armenia just a few years before the 1915 genocide. As it turns out, Raffi's long-dead father was actually a "terrorist" (or freedom fighter) who was shot as he tried to assassinate a Turkish diplomat. As Raffi watches the making of the film, and as he is questioned at the airport by security guards who find drugs smuggled from Turkey, the film weaves in and out of time and place, including seeming to go back to 1915. Raffi has to explain why he has drugs within canisters of film shot of Armenian monuments in Turkish-occupied Armenia.

    Armenians NEED TO GO TO MATH SCHOOL

    OR MAKE UP BETTER lies

    WHAT A LOAD OF ONE SIDED ARMENIAN BULL SHIT

  • 25 million is a good number, since the Genocide lasted 900 years and there were Armenians killed by TimurLang (Timur Lang or Tamerlane) and Saljuqs (google Saljuq Upshot).

  • @VANArmenya

    Thank you you just proved my point

    that your kind are lies and fabricators of bullshit

    once again thanks

  • @fkxp 25 to 50 million! Please look up ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN HOLOCAUST on google. The TURKS were so very successful in MURDERING the aboriginal Christians -- Assyrians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Armenians, Georgians, Albanians, Serbians, Bulgarians, from their native villages and homes, and CONVERTING them by sword, fire and persecution to ISLAM (Armenians shipped to deserts -- where camels caravans could not survive let alone HUMANS) -- SO ONLY NOW grandchildren of genocide survivors speak up! We SPEAK
