A reflection on Armenian identity, My Son Shall Be

Armenian follows filmmaker Hagop Goudsouzian and five

Montrealers of Armenian descent as they return to the

land of their forebears in search of survivors of the

1915 genocide. Goudsouzian weaves the moving accounts

of these centenarians and the touching, at times

droll, reactions of the New World travellers into a

dignified and poignant film about the need to make

peace with the past in order to move into the future.

one important ascept of the film, in my unqualified opinion, was the backgroup music. i liked it a lot.

i remember watching another film about armenians on the same chanal (don't remember the title). the entire film's backgroud music was some kind of turkish tune of ottoman era. (which, i guess, is closer to the hearts of quite many armenians)

[Harut]

the subtitle translations from armenian were... hmmm how should i say this... not too accurate?...
