1:09:09
- What do you think?
1:09:11
- I haven't finished it.
1:09:13
- What you've read so far.
1:09:15
- Rouben...
1:09:18
l'm not the best judge
forthis kind of thing.
1:09:20
L've never read a script before.
1:09:22
- Did you get to the part where
Gorky rushes into the street
1:09:25
and grabs the rifle
from the wounded Turk?
1:09:27
- Yes.
1:09:28
- I know Edward's style
is a bit overthe top, but...
1:09:32
- It's really...
1:09:33
It's very... good.
1:09:40
Listen...
1:09:42
maybe l'II get more excited
when I actually see it.
1:09:47
It's...
1:09:48
it's difficult for me to...
1:09:50
imagine these things
1:10:04
Go retrieve the rifle! Run! Run!
1:10:22
As a boy involved
in the heroic defence of van,
1:10:26
Gorky was witness to one
of the most courageous moments
1:10:28
in Armenian history.
1:10:41
But the years
which were to follow
1:10:43
would see him lose a home,
his people,
1:10:45
and most dramatically,
his beloved mother.
1:10:48
In his most famous painting,
Gorky leaves
1:10:51
his mother's hand unfinished.
1:10:52
As if the history
of its composition,
1:10:54
like that of his people,
had been violently interrupted.
1:10:58
The earthly sensuality of
the mother's touch is no more.
