- Dad...
1:42:08
what came overyou?
1:42:14
- You did, Philip.
1:42:19
I was thinking of you.
1:42:33
- How are you responding
to the people

1:42:34
who say this is all
an exaggeration?

1:42:36
- This film is the kind of film-
- You have a visitor.

1:42:38
...you can do only once
in your lifetime.

1:42:40
Because it tells a story
which is a true story...

1:42:58
- Arshile Gorky was born
in a small village

1:43:01
on the shores of Lake Van.
1:43:05
From the shores of this village,
1:43:07
the island of Aghtamar
was in plain view.

1:43:10
Gorky, as a child,
1:43:12
would go to this island
with his mother,

1:43:14
who would show him
the detailed carvings

1:43:16
on the walls of the church.
1:43:20
- Why are you showing this to me?
1:43:23
- This is the origin,
from the memory of this place,

1:43:29
right to the photograph,
to the sketch,

1:43:33
to the painting.
1:43:34
You told me to go there.
1:43:36
I had to put something in my
heart. If that was gonna happen,

1:43:39
it was gonna happen here.
1:43:43
That I was prepared
to throw my whole life away.

1:43:49
And last night,
as we were sitting in that...

1:43:53
dark room,
1:43:55
as I heard him open the can,
1:43:57
I felt it.
