      The growth story of an American girl

      An American girl, rich second generation, a free heart, a dedicated heart. With a speech, I embarked on a dangerous journey, which is difficult for me to understand in a peaceful age. Perhaps, in an era of war, the sense of mission will be particularly prominent, and the spirit of dedication will erupt at any time. '

      The movie did not show Lily's dedication well. At best, it is a story of a rich girl's growth. After watching the movie, I think it's a bit of work. From a very...

      Beautiful and mysterious land, the plot of the dog's blood and eyes

      The Armenian Plateau, the East Taurus Mountains, the battlefield where Alexander Emperor collided with Cyrus III of Persia, the Ottoman Empire's holy mountain, the Great Arles Snow Mountain with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and the rippling Dafan Lake at the foot, all the favors and insults were forgotten for a while. , linger! That's not worth 5 points! There are also the beautiful scenery of Istanbul and the Great Mosque, the eastern capital of the world in the 19th century, the...

      Can only give 1 star reason

      The plot of the film is also a simple narrative, but the narrated story is a complete lie. I have been to both Armenia and Turkey. The lake in the film is called Lake Van, which is located in the northeast of what is now Turkey. Mount La is the sacred mountain of Christianity. Near the border between Turkey and Armenia, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. This land belongs to Armenia in history. The story described in the film takes place. Between...

      Does the director know what Osman is?

      The Ottoman army was defeated in Sarikamish and suffered major non-combat attrition due to diseases and other factors, which made them precarious on the Eastern Front. The defection of a group of Armenians caused all Armenians to be cast aside by the Turks. Therefore, the Young Turks began to consider how to solve the "Armenian problem" permanently. At one time, about 30 to 40 doctors were quarantined in the "infectious disease hospital" in Errum. "They all contracted typhus, and in the end,...

      We are all in the mind of God, slowly learning how to love.

      We seem to be living in God's thoughts, walking together because of our common love and ideals, and walking away from each other because of our ideals. But I still choose to believe that God is kind and righteous, because we were born in the world because of love, and we will continue to walk because of love. Learn to be kind to everyone you meet, maybe you have found love and yourself in this kindness.

      The scenery of Istanbul where the film was shot is beautiful, the film’s...

    Movie quotes

    • Jude: I've been visiting hospitals in various cities, catching up on the latest advancements in modern medicine.

      Lillie: It's true. Medical science has been making some amazing advances. If only we could advance the thinking of the doctors.

      Mr. Rowe: Lillie...

      Jude: How do you mean, miss?

      Lillie: Yesterday, a man was turned away from the hospital where I work because his skin was the wrong colour.

      Mrs. Rowe: Dr. Gresham, I have to aologise for our daughter.

      Jude: I assure you, Miss Rowe, no one has ever been turned away from our hospital due to colour of their skin or their religious beliefs. That would be against everything we believe in.

      Lillie: Dr. Gresham, I'd like to show you something.

    • Melih Pasha: Let us be honest with each other. Your name and your charme have carried you this far. But now it's time for you to prove yourself.

      Ismail: Allright.

    • Ismail: You should'nt wander off.

      Lillie: I'm perfectly fine. Is that Mount Ararat where Noah landed?

      Ismail: Yes. We call it Agri Dagi.

      Lillie: Agri Dagi.

      Ismail: Noah and the Great Flood. Adam and Eve. You know, it's also part of the Islamic culture.

      Lillie: Really?

      Ismail: Hm-hm.

      Lillie: Adam and Eve?

      Ismail: Hm-hm. Only in the islamic telling they weren't driven out of the garden. They were placed in different parts of the world, so they had to search to find each other.

      Ismail: Please stay close.
