The Promise

Excellent movie.

Very well presented the whole truth, this happened to every single Armenian family, forced to leave their city and country to Dehr Zor Desert in 1914-1915.

It is an amazing movie that brings out a century old hidden truth to 21st century audience. this is the most effective way to learn from past mistreats toward reconciliation. We all belong to this world and together we will take care of this wonderful world!

Effective!

Excellent movie. Director Terry George masterfully incorporated complicated and thorny historical facts with a love story. This movie follows the fine tradition of David Lean and other movie directors filmmaking. The Promise should be nominated for an Oscar.

If you are disgusted from what is happening in Syria and Iraq, please see this movie. Great movie to watch and learn from. This love story has a sad background, which depicts the twentieth century's first Genocide. Go and see, you will change, or maybe learn something.

A must see for everyone...

A must see for everyone. Just to see what kind barberic atrocities people can do

Such a great and touching movie.

What a movie ! Learned a lot about the armenian genocide.

Really recommend it

A must see movie! Thank you Kirk Kerkorian and the entire production team too!

It was an important film which depicted the Armenian Genocide. An important part of history that needs to be told in order to prevent future genocides. Christian Bale was amazing along with the rest of the cast. Great Movie! Must see!

This movie tells the story about a tragic event that happened a hundred years ago. The story needs to be told and we need to understand that if it happened once it can certainly happen again. Much like the Holocaust - never forget.

Unbelievable story and great production. Amazing cast and awesome presentation of Armenian Genocide. Did not show blood and torture but the story tells you the atrocities of that era! I saw it twice. Going to see it again with friends.

Superb! The film is interesting and full of action and suspense. It is very well prepared and directed. The historic scenes, locations and costumes for real events which happened more than 100 years is amazing! There were about 2.1 million Armenians living in the Ottoman empire in 1914, and about 387,800 by 1922, according to The University of Minnesota’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Where are they now? A must see.

It's a powerful movie based on true events, it is entertaining, tragic with historical facts and educational at the same time... A must see movie!

Powerful and historically important film while at the same time a beautiful but sad love story. Watch it for the brilliant storytelling, great acting. Great cinematography.

Excellent

Excellent

Daughter of Survivor, of the Genocide perpetrated by Turkey and continuously denied by Turkey. I honor the memory of Kirk Kirkorian for funding, and thank all involved in the production. The movie has mitigated violence compared to eye witness accounts and experiences. Death in Historic Armenia, deportations, river colored red with innocent blood and do much more absent from the movie. Excellent acting and production.

Excellent movie ! Everybody should see ...

This was an amazing movie that portrayed the Armenian genocide. We will never forget or forgive what the Turks did to us. Everyone must see this movie, including all Armenians and non-Armenians

A film that presents the deeper meaning of the Armenian Genocide

Don't miss it! Best movie I've ever seen with a deep message!

OMG !!!! I loved it !!! A must see!!! Tells all the truth about the Armenian Genocide, despite the denial machine going against the movie! Kudos to Terry George and the wonderful cast!

Excellent movie

Amazing movie about The Armenian Genocide! Loved the fact that real historical characters were also included ! A must see to get a sense of the enormity of this inconvenient & forgotten Genocide!

Must see!

Amazing film !!!! A must see movie

Absolutely great! I would have loved it if it was just a fictional story, but to know that it's based on the truth of the hardships endured by the Armenian people made it even more heart-wrenching! A must see by everyone!

Extremely touching! I would recommend everyone watch this movie. I had no idea what armenian people have gone through, absolutely cruel and inhuman.

Great great movie

This film educates those individuals who are unaware of the Armenian Genocide and its atrocities that took place from 1915-1923.

Great.

It educates people about horror of genocide committed by Turks against Armenians, Greeks and other minorities in Ottoman Empire.

Very interesting and emotional movie.

Something to talk about ! Yes!

We went with 15 members of the church choir, the all loved it! Great movie.

I encourage all Berkeley professors to go watch the Promise. Take all your students treat them to this powerful eye opening movie!
