    • Trivia
      Joseph Ruben wanted to disown this movie because of the post-production changes that deny the Armenian Genocide.
    • Goofs
      Lieutenant Veli never wears any headgear as a part of his uniform. As an Ottoman officer he would have worn a fez or a fur cap.
    • Quotes

      Lillie: It's like being in God's thoughts.

      Ismail: It appears our time inside God's thoughts has come to an end.

    a story
    A war film. or a romantic one. each discovers what he want. and the only delicate aspect could be the unrealistic expectation. because it is less a political movie, it is less a pledge for a cause or the other but one of beautiful - bitter stories about people, emotions, contact between different worlds and the result of this meet. a film who preserves its noble intentions to the first scene to the last, against pathetic scenes and too many black/white perspective or too sentimental parts. but this does it touching. and, maybe, useful, remembering many other stories about same theme.
