为什么重温历史对我们很重要? 我们回首祖先，审视所发生的事件，对我们有什么意义？?
奥拉格乔治是一位获得奥斯卡奖的女导演. 在她的虚拟现实短片中, 西朗, 现在在Planet Classroom Network YouTube频道上放映, 观众关注两个在亚美尼亚种族灭绝中被捕的朋友的故事. The film takes on the perspective of Temin, a Turkish boy, as he reflects back on the tragic death of his Armenian friend, Artak.
西朗 is an extension of the central theme of The Promise, the epic 2016 feature film directed by Terry George (starring Christian Bale, Charlotte Le Bon, and Daniel Giménez Cacho) which is set immediately before the Armenian Genocide. 在 西朗, the audience learns more about the ethnic discrimination and prejudice Armenians faced during this period of turmoil.
The creators effectively take advantage of our emotions. We feel the pain that victims of war must feel on a daily basis. The film is complemented with an amazing VR experience and an astounding narration and sound mix. The animations captivate us as the main character revisits the past reflecting on what could have been before bringing us back to the devastating reality of what actually happened. “I always wished I had stood up for him at that moment. My dreams are haunted by questions…Where did this hate come from? Is it in some of us, is it in all of us?” Temin questions.
我会给这部电影评价 5/5 星星. It educated me on the impacts of the Armenian Genocide on a personal level. I felt the guilt and the helplessness of Temin and more respect towards the Armenian community. And in general I believe these types of films should be used more in education because one really feels the impact these events had on those affected.
