The Promise

The Promise

The Promise is a captivating story with multiple strands, right from the beginning to the end.As a lady who has a romantic interest from both her lovers, and the complexity of the love triangle, this story sounds exciting. Better yet, the audience can appreciate the multifaceted love story in the broader context of world history, especially during the events of world war 1.

The love triangle that develops between the three chime in with what happens around the world quite realistically. The actors selected for each role of the characters in the movie play their parts convincingly. Great reception indeed! The cast mentioned does a fantastic job. The artistic merit is complimented by beautifully written scripts brilliant performances and most importantly does not take liberty with the history.

The history of the Armenian genocide is best placed in the context of the films plot within the aftermath of the first genocide endorsed by a state in modern history in 1915 where 700,000 to 1.5 million Armenians were killed. Armenian genocide, however, is the dark part of history that the Turkish government denies. The film tells the story of a genocide that took place in Turkey with the state being the direct executor of these orders unlike Jewish holocaust in which German government openly accepted as basic fact and even committed.

For an excess of the past century, several Turkish attempts have been made to obstruct and mute every discourse relating to many of these troubling historical episodes. The abominably low marks that some have chosen to confer on this film seem to suggest similar motives. There is neither ‘Armenian propaganda’.

There is no prejudice. History is reconstructed in the most plausible manner without exaggeration. It is also hard to find a review of this film which stays within its scope as most of them, in one way or another, criticize the so-called “Armenian propaganda” which is in fact ideology-crazy fantasy. The evidence is historically solid and categorically unrepudiated. They have been reported on in much detail and depth by the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Times, New York Times and Boston Globe, among others.

Photographs supplemented the testimonies of foreign ministers, witnesses of the mass deportations and the assassinations. If there is any sociopolitical message attached to this picture, it is the one propagated by the Turkish people who attempted to obliterate the rating of this picture by the masse giving it low scores prior to its release.

Given the dynamic power of their movie The Promise, I don’t think these ignorant endeavors of sabotaging its marketing efforts will yield any results. Those who wish to view a film on love, faith, hope, and strength, should definitely go out to watch this movie. For those who wish to access facts surrounding the Armenian massacre, they can get that information from a number of sources including this one.

A lot of Armenians would admit that those events have been passed down to the children or their descendants by their forefathers. Even today, the tales of genocide’s survivors are being told in a monotone with no emotions, describing a pained effort to focus and blurring tears, interspersed with hiccups as they attempt to compose themselves. This is not a false statement! There is a pain associated with events that have proof and can be validated by third parties.
