Re: OP. The movie is a good effort to bring to a popular audience at least a portion of the truth regarding Turkey's wholesale genocide of the Armenian people. It was not a money maker. Some are surprised it would be made given the likelyhood it would not make money. No surprise. There are lots of people who will spend money to make a point that is important to them. The Turks of course are outraged. No surprise. Let them rage against the machine called Hollywood. At least one time when that machine has done some good.
As to the French ... never put any confidence in mythological history. When it comes to the French army and its performance in the opening days of WWII, the facts speak for themselves. All of the Allies took the bait while the Germans busted through the woods and caught them all with their pants down. If the French had not fought so effectively, the British would never have made it to Dunkirk to be rescued. It's that simple. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.
