Yeah, once I was watching the Ottoman Lieutenant with my wife and parents - I turned it off because the film seemed to be denying the Armenian genocide.
I'm surprised the article makes no reference to the worst of this phenomenon: 2016's The Promise: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4776998/ratings?ref_=tt_ov_rt
* 52.9% 10/10 * 42.6% 1/10
For a total of 95.5% polarizing votes!
Interesting that The Ottoman Lieutenant is top of the 538's list and it deals with exactly the same subject matter.
Turks really need to grow up and stop being such babies about their history. Face it, don't go spamming down the ratings for movies that dare talk about your history.
