The Promise

[GoldenDieners32]

If you haven't seen the movie "The Promise", I would highly recommend seeing the film. It is about the Armenian Genocide and how 1.5 million Armenians were massacred by Turks in 1915.

Cher is Armenian.

Andre Agassi is majority Armenian. That's all I got.

To comment on the original post, I've heard mixed things about the movie. I'd recommend people see it just because not many people (and I include myself) know enough about the Armenian Genocide.

So a comedy?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Read a book awhile back about it called "Forgotten Fire" Don't remember it too well but I remember it being very powerful and I quite enjoyed it.

Would give it a recommendation if you wanted to read up on the Armenian genocide.

Not even funny.

It is good that people your age are interested in a movie of historical importance such as this. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you're checking out movies on Turkey, see Russel Crowe's The Water Diviner.  Post WWI without the genocide.

Considering that for most people, "if Hollywood didn't make a movie about it, it never happened," it's good that more historically-accurate (or, at the very least, more accurate historical) movies are being made.

Example: I only saw Schindler's List once and it was in a Sociology/Religion-type class right around the time it came out... I vaguely remember the movie itself but I distinctly recall one of the questions that came from a classmate during the discussion that followed: "Were people really that mean to the Jews?"
