Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide?

[scorpionx]

I will watch it from a historical point of view,not from a religious one. What is there to show so much hypocrisy?
We have seen the horrible mass murder of jews in several hollywood flicks specially in Spielbergs's schindler's list. We need Sensible historical analysis or a constructive debate. Not hatred at least.

Turkey should make films on Kashmiris genocide by Indian army. Sequel should be on genocide of Sikhs and prequel on genocide of Maoists.

Why not Pakistan make a movie on Kashmir??? Here is the story line. They send the mujaheddin to fight the Indian army and they all get killed, except for one. He end up in Srinagar. Fall in love with a Kashmiri Pandit girl who lost her parents and her house in Srinagar and is adopted by a muslim family. He goes back a changed mind and you can fill the blanks.......

Turkey should make films on Kashmiris genocide by Indian army. Sequel should be on genocide of Sikhs and prequel on genocide of Maoists.

Kashmiris , Sikhs and Maoists , the deaths of all three combined are just about half or 1/3rd of what you did in erstwhile East Pakistan in 1971 alone.

And i am not even including your Balochis and pashtuns in this .

I cannot believe what i am witnessing on this forum, excusè moi for being politically correct, but are some of you folks honestly denying the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. It does not matter what your religion,culture,caste etc.. may be but how can you deny such a tragic event. By the way, for the turkish monsieur/madam on this forum, I am not maliciously condemning your country or government and neither is our present government but I think Turkey will eventually have to reconcilè with Armenia

Finally on topic, I commend the indienne filmè industry on raising awareness of the Armenian Genocide as it does not get any coverage close to what the holocaust has had in the media. However the Indienne film industry has to be careful in the sense that it has to find the right balance in it's approach and not paint the entire turkish societè as murderers. On the contrary Turkey should not take this film as negatively but rather constructive criticism on their conduct in past and should make officalle apologie to the Amerinienne government.

sorry once again for my bad anglais, hopefully my point does get across.
bonnè chance with the film indienne

I didn't know it was a so-called genocide. Perhaps next time, you could post the article without any editing. I think it's unlikely but I'm sure you can.

By the way, supporting a genocide just because a Muslim country did it is against Islam. Islam does not ask you to support wrong doers.

The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide describes genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." Clearly this definition applies in the case of the atrocities committed against the Armenians. Because the U.N. Convention was adopted in 1948, thirty years after the Armenian Genocide, Armenians worldwide have sought from their respective governments formal acknowledgment of the crimes committed during W.W.I. Countries like France, Argentina, Greece, and Russia, where the survivors of the Armenian Genocide and their descendants live, have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide. However, as a matter of policy, the present-day Republic of Turkey adamantly denies that a genocide was committed against the Armenians during W.W.I. Moreover, Turkey dismisses the evidence about the atrocities as mere allegations and regularly obstructs efforts for acknowledgment. Affirming the truth about the Armenian Genocide, therefore, has become an issue of international significance. The recurrence of genocide in the twentieth century has made the reaffirmation of the historic acknowledgment of the criminal mistreatment of the Armenians by Turkey all the more a compelling obligation for the international community.

Uhh What?

Its a movie by a film maker on something that happened. What is so political about it? Havent there been movies about the Holocaust, WW2, Nanking Massacre, Unit 731 etc? And you have to start a stupid thread to vent. Talk about maturity. Sheesh.

If Turkey doesnt like it, they can ban the movie so it isnt screened there.

Anyway, this is nothing against Turkey. Its a part of their history, it happened. Armenians were genocided and this is a fact. A million people dont just fall down dead. Especially when you put them on a death march. Add to that the cultural loss suffered by the Armenians because of premeditated destruction of artifacts of cultural importance. Indeed it was a genocide.

but are some of you folks honestly denying the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Of course, most muslims will support Turkey, even if they havent heard about the Armenian Genocide. Cuz Turkey is a Muslim country.

 

[Tshering22]

India is against all Muslims. No surprise here.

Fine. Try forming your pan-islamic empire which is nothing more than a fiction.

If any part of it was true, there would be just one Muslim country.

I mean isn't it sad how Pakistanis try to use the "islamic brotherhood" in every thread where the Iranians and Turks or even other Muslim countries are discussing bilateral tensions?


BTW Bollywood isn't government funded.

 

[Peregrine]

Actually a movie must have been made on Balochistan or East Pakistan.

Bitching about Pakistan on a thread related to Turkey and India? Yup you are a true Pakistan obsessed Bhaarti. I would suggest "get a life" but your life would lose meaning if it wont involve Pakistan. So lage raho munna bharti!
As for Bollywood, is it not Indian? Its really funny, how you and your ilk is trying to decouple india and bollywood.

To be kind of honest, i think this director is exploiting the sympathy for Armenian Genocide just to raise his profile in the Western world.

LOL. You are the best.

His movies aren't for traditional Indian audience, Ex:Bandit Queen.

Besides if its money.

His movie Elizabeth made $ 82 million, higher than any Bollywood movie.

He doesnt make those kind of masala movies. He is a critically acclaimed director, and made movies like Elizabeth that won several academy awards etc., But am sure you know this.

Some Pakistanis being more Turkish than the Turks themselves

Not some. Majority. Pakistanis in their north are descendants of Turkic people i.e. all the parts that are beyond Islamabad.

The western part of Pakistan consists of Shiites due to Iranian influence and culture there while the eastern Pakistan is dominated by Pakistanis who claim demographically descended from Arabs since the first conquest of the region.

I don't know whether this is true or not but I got this re-iterated info from a Pakistani origin-Turk when I went for a holiday in Turkey.

Seriously! How is this anything to do with Indian Govt or stand of India?

It is an indirect advice to us that we better quit this kangroo government and install a more decisive and dedicated regime that can revise the joke we call our Constitution.

Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide? - Yahoo! Movies India

Mumbai, Oct 15 (IANS) Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he might be tempted to make a movie on the 1915 Armenian (so called) genocide.

"Going to Yeravan (capital of Armenia). Is there an Armenian community in India? Going to Armenia to study (so called) massacre of Armenians in 1915 and perhaps make a film on it later," tweeted Kapur.

The Armenian (So called ) genocide (1915-23) saw the Ottoman regime systematically exterminating its minority Armenian subjects from their traditional homeland in the territory constituting the present-day Turkey.


So called has been added by my self. Turkey has been wrongly accused of genocide like we Pakistanis have been accused of killing 3 million Benglis from March 23 - Dec 16, in a full time war , killing and disposing off nearly 16000 ppl a day Same has been accused by the west on Turkey of killing and disposing of Armenian during a full time war days. Either these accusition of genocide is false or both us and the Turks are super humans killing their own citizen (16000 a day) and fighting a war with foreign aggressors

For Indians I would also like to add this " tu koon tey mai khowmkha" hahahahaha

Hight of Stupidity by thread starter....some one said he might make a movie.... and news item says the same thin...but here we have a thread initiated.

This is a free world ...anyone can make movie on any subject...all Pakistan can do is Ban the movie and that's what you guys should do....
