...austere, if handsomely mounted, form. It is the kind of movie that gets you thinking not so much about its ostensible subject, but about how difficult it must have been for director and co-writer David Von Ancken to make - toting all that production gear up into the waist-deep snows, plunging Brosnan (or his stunt double) into the eponymous falls, while wearing a fur coat that must weigh 20 pounds even before it becomes soaking wet. It is not a terrible movie - its beginning holds a certain promise - just, finally, an unengaging...
...Deep inside Palestinian territory, the Jewish community of Migron sits, precariously, on the crown of a skull-white hill. On a winter day, the wind is so fierce it rocks the trailer homes, knocks over the kids' plastic tricycles in the muddy driveways and threatens to rip out the young fruit saplings planted by the 90 young settlers who call Migron home. A guard dog the size of a lion prowls the hilltop to scare off Arab prowlers--or terrorists. Migron is a hard and unforgiving place, especially these days...
...should be a cold war relic, a forgotten insurgency rotting away in the Southeast Asian jungle.

You also wanted us Turks to break the deep silence regarding the massacres and deportation of Armenians in 1915, to question our collective amnesia. Nevertheless, you fervently opposed the Armenian genocide bill approved by the French Parliament, which would make it a crime to say that the events of 1915 were not a genocide, because, first and foremost, you believed in freedom of expression. You said it was not up to Western politicians to write our history. Turks and Armenians had to do that, build a dialogue...
Tuesday, Jan. 23. The day we buried you. "Yes," you once said, "we Turkish Armenians do have a claim to the soil of this country, but not to take it away, as some accuse us of secretly plotting, but to be buried deep under it." Your funeral was spectacular. Tens of thousands marched. They carried signs that said, WE ARE ALL HRANT, WE ARE ALL ARMENIANS...
