:53:01
- This was... this was
a huge break for me.
:53:04
I mean, you're one
of my favourite directors.
:53:06
I want to thank you.
:53:10
Can I...
can I ask you something?
:53:15
Did you cast me just because
l'm half Turkish?
:53:17
- No.
:53:19
It's because I thought you would
be perfect forthe part.
:53:22
- But being Turkish didn't hurt.
:53:24
- Ah, didn't hurt, no.
:53:27
- You know, you never asked me
what I thought of the history.
:53:32
- What is there to think?
:53:36
- Whether I believed it happened.
:53:38
A genocide.
:53:40
- Well, l'm not sure it matters.
:53:43
- I don't want
to take up yourtime,
:53:45
ljust...
The thing is, when I...
:53:48
play a part,
it's supposed to...
:53:50
come from here.
:53:52
Not here. All right?
:53:54
'Cause I was doing some research
and, uh...
:53:57
I think the Turks
had a real reason to believe
:54:00
that the Armenians were a threat
to their security.
:54:02
I mean, their eastern border
was threatened by Russia
:54:05
and, I mean, if they believed
that the Armenians
:54:08
were gonna betray them...
:54:10
So this was... this was war.
:54:12
Populations get moved around
all the time. So...
:54:14
- Then again,
:54:16
thank you for your work.
:54:20
- Ali, we're ready for you.
:54:29
- I got your car around back.
Drive you home.
:54:39
Mr. Saroyan!
:54:42
- Yes?
:54:44
- Why didn't you answer him?
:54:46
- Because he's having regrets
about playing the part.
:54:49
I can understand. He will
receive angerfrom his people.
:54:53
- But he thinks Turkey was
at war with Armenia.
:54:56
Doesn't it botheryou
that he doesn't get the history?
