I wish everyone regardless of their nationality and ethnicity tried to be as honest in his life as this brave German Turk film director. I admire that in people and wish him and his family to stay safe and sound. heart emoticon
He is no Turk or German -- he an Superior Human Being, regardless of his ethnicity...
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Thank you!
We shall overcome,we shall overcome, No one can hide the truth forever, take a look to the eyes of the Armenian orphans!! You will see all the pain & suffering that they went through,for every single tear drops for all Victims of the Horrible Genocide We shall overcome ....
I've only recently discovered the films of Fatih Akin, and haven't seen this one yet, but the three films that I have seen are among the best I've watched in my life. I think he's a brilliant man! :)
Maggie Adams I have to agree after watching many thousands of movies myself, literally. I think he is one of the most brilliant directors ever.
Soul kitchen is a wonderful movie !!! Fatih is a talented, brave man for speaking the truth !!!
Fatih Akin you are a very intelligent and brave person. You are helping Turkish society to change.People like you, who have honor and strong feeling of justice might save Turkey
Siranush Muradian No problem. Non-muslim Kurds and Armenian will always back each other.
Faith Akin, your take on the Armenian Genocide is closer to the truth than other movies made by Armenian directors... I salute your courage.
Faith Akin and his Movies are wonderful.
I adore him. He s a great Storyteller and Filmmaker.
The Turkish Peopole should support and be proud of him - and the Germans as well as he is born in Germany.
I'm totally agree.
My mothers family survived in Turkey (my great grandmothers), they were never rescued. The family doesn’t exist anymore, the genocide was completed, the family destroyed from the inside out for good.
Fatih... has philosopher's soulful speech
and not only film maker...
He had the gut to express
and calling his philosophy "THE CUT".

Intelligent man and righteous film maker !
Courageous man. Thank you Fatih Akin.
What an amazing film and for sure what a brilliant director. I am proud of him. This is the power of the art as he showed the sorrow, alienation and loss of home by Nazaret's crazy travel to find his daughters. I loved it and I couldn't help crying in many scenes. Thank you Fatih Akın.
Just saw the film and it's easily Fatih's best work to date so congrats to him for taking on such a controversial project and turning it into an journey/experience that we can all learn something from. Fatih couldn't explain in the interview but the significance of the second rape scene in the film, where Nazareth helped the girl from getting raped in America, was to show that evil isn't a regional thing it's a personal thing and that doing nothing in such situations makes you loose a part of your soul as if you did it yourself. To me that's what the film was about more than anything else that no matter what happens don't let the experiences you've been through change you into doing that to others or letting it happen as you watch and stand up against what's wrong even if you know you will loose because at least you won't loose your humanity and keep that light shining just little longer until someone else sees it and does the same. So those of you commenting this is anti-this and pro-that while trying to use this well intentioned work of art as a medium to see who can say the most hurtful thing to the other, i advise you to look through your hate and you'll see that this is a film about having the courage to do the right thing even if everyone around is doing the wrong, it is about not loosing hope no matter how unreachable the distance may seem, & it's about not letting our past cripple us so that we can find that love we once lost just like our protagonist Nazareth.
Raping is not about personality. It's very common among men. Especially low standard countries men. And women should be protected. I'm an engineer and I worked in fabrics, almost all workers were potential rapers and I was always living in the fight or flight mode. I think Fatih understands women pretty well. We are always living under this threat. If you recognised that all women are understanding Nazaret is not a "normal guy" who tortures women physically and mentally and they are begging him to save them. We need more Nazarets in the world.
Wow. What a wonderful wise talk to listen to - Maria Titizian and Fatih Akin - and Wow. The drawing/pain-ting by Vrej Kassouny …- it was just recently when I discovered ‚The Cut‘ - - and every syllable un-spoken in that film still resonates.
And : Yes., it was my immediate reaction to read more and inform myself .
… the segments of concepts ‚How‘ to relate the history of threats and therewith picking up the thread of specific threats ...
It certainly leads into manifold layers and directions. ..-… it is expanding my bucket list
The Beauty of this Talk is in its fragile atmosphere . So friendly warm and calm.
I could listen to these 2 talk for days. This interview fleshes out a message I saw on a bumper sticker at least 25 years ago: "Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; great minds discuss ideas." The beauty of the interviewer certainly was an added bonus - I'm not gonna lie : she's gorgeous.
Fatih thank you for this merveillous movie and mainly for your huge courage. Your work is unvaluable. We love you and we are so proud of you.
A brilliant and very emotional film. Congratulations on this director who dares to reveal History!!!!!! A remarkable Turkish director who describes the tragedy of Armenian people caused by Turkish state.
Shut up greek.
KONSTANTINA SKONTZOU well actually he‘s a German with Turkish roots :D
respect!
For what? For manipulating?
Inform yourself, don't be too lazy !!! This must be a motto for the youth of today. BRAVO FATIH !!!!!!!!
Turks, Armenians, Persians, Georgians, Azeris could have lived as brothers and sisters, but look what happened...
Fatih I appreciate your genuine efforts. I wish we could witness the same kind of courage you had in The Cut in the movie Yaşamın Kıyısında where you had to back off portraying Nurgül Yeşilçay not as pro - Kurdish fanatic. Were you afraid of loosing your ultra nationalist audience in Turkey?
Thank you.
Emotional this interview
shat cavali film e
I want to see this film.
Please support this quest. Ask the federally funded US Holocaust Museum in DC to have an exhibit, Remembrance 2025, Armenian Genocide, 110 Years.
My grandmother was 16 in 1915 and she prayed daily. My prayers are with the people from Syrian and Turkey who are suffering because of the earthquakes. God Bless us All.
Fatih Akın our pride.
05:40 The ending of the film is so perfect because the armenians in the film are not normal armenians. They are western Armenians! Our destiny is to wander the earth without a home. Be it in Yerevan, in Mardin or in Germany, we will not be welcome anywhere. I am Western Armenian! In Germany I'm too foreign, in Turkey I'm too Armenian and in Yerevan I'm too Turkish!
Armenians need to start getting realistic and learn to appreciate these good intentions by Turks. no one can make a film that will fully satisfy them and be historically accurate at the same time. diaspora wants recognition of the genocide without any mention of what happened before the genocide. Armenians are not purely innocent in this matter. However, what was done to them is unacceptable.
Both sides need to stop holding grudges. Accept their faults and apologize. Turkey must return their belongings pay retribution. To Armenians of course, I am not talking about giving land to the Republic of Armenia. Turks and Armenians are very much culturally alike. Only religion divides them. It is a pity these two folks hold a century old grudge. Armenian diaspora please understand this, your actions don't affect Turks at all, they are bad for Armenians living in Turkey. Everything you do results in hatred and prejudice against Armenians living in Turkey.
Let no one justify genocide over “ what happened before”
Fatih thank u so much😭😭😭😢😢😢
Fantastic movie..
Turkish historians and UN historians asked Armenian government to prepare Armenian historical documents.Even Russia offered to share their archives but Armenian government refused it.
They just refused it :)
With ignoring they have nothing to get.
31 countries told ,Armenian 1915 genocide .... from fucckkiinn turkishh pussies
Read about Seljuk Turkish Savageness By ARAB HISTORIAN: Sibt ibn al JAWZI,
In 1064, a large Seljuk Turkish army, headed by Sultan Alp Arslan, attacked Ani and after a siege of 25 days they captured the city and slaughtered its population. An account of the sack and massacres in Ani is given by the Arab historian Sibt ibn al-Jawzi, who quotes an eyewitness saying:
The army entered the city, massacred its inhabitants, pillaged and burned it, leaving it in ruins and taking prisoner all those who remained alive...The dead bodies were so many that they blocked the streets; one could not go anywhere without stepping over them. And the number of prisoners was not less than 50,000 souls. I was determined to enter city and see the destruction with my own eyes. I tried to find a street in which I would not have to walk over the corpses; but that was impossible.[16]
The Byzantine Empire had weakened Ani alot by long wars ;
in 1045 Ani surrended to the Byzantine Empire ; the king
Gakig who was invited to Constantinople was detained there,
soon after ,in 1065 the turkik Seljukits arrived to invade the city and massacre it's population . Thus the eastern door of
Anatolia was opened wide letting the ottomans to advace
deepand capture Constantinople . Many Greek historians
regrette that strategic fault !
Never happened stop insulting turkishness. Our culture does not do such things. I am being sarcastic btw
As we can see your problem isn't with somethign that happen during WWI, you are just Turkophobe
Faith Akin n est pas un historien et ne represente en aucun Cas la communaute turque , IL a accepte d etre manipuler pour etre celebre , tu n es qu un pion
I just watch the movie, it should be shot on original language instead of English, its tv serise quality, it wont be a cinema movie.
story is similar with The Water Diviner which is been released pretty much same time. overrool I disappointed.. Been made for just been made could be a better movie
SPOILER ALERT! @5:40
Bravo at least he recognizes it.
Now we shall wait for an Armenian filmmaker to make a movie about Khojaly.
