Every year that I taught high school history, someone in the class would ask why Jews have been oppressed by so many different cultures in so many different centuries. There are many reasons, all of them irrational, but the principal reason today is that during periods of extreme nationalism, the folks who are in the minority of a country\u2019s ethnic or racial minority are in danger of being considered \u201cthe other.\u201d They are different from the majority, and may be in a minority so small that they can easily be persecuted. They are scapegoated for society\u2019s problems, though they had nothing to do with those dilemmas. In fact it was not until the founding of the state of Israel that Jews could live in a country where they are the majority and therefore free from being marginalized.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the Armenians in the Ottoman (Turkish-dominated) Empire, were also in a minority. They are Christians; the Turks are Muslims. When the Ottomans found themselves in World War One, they used Armenians as scapegoats, \u201cblaming\u201d them for their contributions to architecture, music, cultural life in general, and acumen for business. In fact they were called by some the Jews of Turkey. In 1915, the Turks exterminated 1.5 million Armenians, though less is known about the pogrom against these Christian in 1894 when 300,000 were murdered. When Nazi government officials in the 1930s and 1940s were concerned that the world might condemn them for their genocidal pogroms against Jews, Hitler said: \u201cWho remembers the massacre of Armenians?\u201d <\/p>\n

Well, then, movies like this one will certainly help to remind non-Armenians as well about the oppression, but don\u2019t count your breath. A poll indicated that 40% of Americans never heard even of the Nazi Holocaust. In any case, \u201cSongs of Solomon\u201d is a worthy addition to the celluloid literature of the subject of genocide, joining others like \u201cNahapet,\u201d \u2018Mayrig,\u201d \u201cArarat,\u201d \u201cThe Cut,\u201d \u201cThe Lark Farm,\u201d \u201cDzori Miro,\u201d \u201cMap of Salvation,\u201d \u201c1915,\u201d \u201cAram,\u201d and \u201cDo Not Tell Me the Boy was Mad.\u201d The actors use exaggerated facial expressions as though in a silent movie, but I suspect the reason director Arman Nshanian evoked such exaggerated emotions is that he wants the film to appeal to a youthful audience.<\/p>\n

Nshanian, in his freshman full-length film narrative (he is primarily an actor who takes a principal role here) leads us from the murders in 1894 to the more horrific ones in 1915, going back and forth in a film that in my opinion would have been better if told chronologically. This is a biographical look at Komitas Vardabet aka Solomon, credited with saving Armenian music, singing songs with an exquisite voice. The story opens before the dreaded year of 1894 when Solomon, an Armenian Christian who is a frail, gentle orphan with a blind grandmother, becomes best friends with two girls his own age. One is Sevil who is Turkish. She is friends with Sono, an Armenian. When Solomon sings to them, an Armenian archbishop believes that Solomon\u2019s voice is a gift from God, and puts him into a seminary, which may have been responsible for saving his life. <\/p>\n

When Sevil is married thirteen years later, her Turkish husband (played by the director) wants her not to associate with Armenians because \u201csomething bad is going to happen to them.\u201d What follows appears to imitate the trajectory of Nazi anti-Semitism in Germany, as Nazi thugs break windows of Jewish stores, bully Jews on the street, and make them wear patches to signal their Jewishness. A Turkish colonel, played with glee, becomes the chief villain, always speaking softly, smiling with contempt, playing with his Armenian victors before letting his goons beat them to death. The most riveting scene, in fact, occurs when this colonel taunts the family harboring the Armenian woman Sono, reminding cinephiles of similar doings when in \u201cInglourious Basterds,\u201d Col. Hans Lada played by Christoph Waltz, toys with a French farmer who is hiding a family of Jews.<\/p>\n

Though \u201cSongs of Solomon\u201d has an excellent group of Armenian extras, it has a budget smaller than that of movies like \u201c1915,\u201d and that\u2019s just fine. We in the audience have the privilege of knowing more than today\u2019s Turks seem to know about the genocides (Turks who made their truer opinions known about the genocide are subject to arrest). It\u2019s pitiful that though Germans today freely acknowledge the role of Nazis in their history, the Turks continue to hide facts about these tragic events. This film thereby joins the others in bringing the truth to light.<\/p>\n

\u201cSongs of Solomon\u201d is the Armenian entry competing in our 93rd Academy Awards, though it has tough competition from \u201cMinari,\u201d which I think will be chosen. Anthony J. Rickert-Epstein filmed in Armenia. The film is in Armenian with English subtitles.<\/p>\n
