Did You Know?

Trivia: Academy Award-winning composer Gabriel Yared wrote the original soundtrack. Yared is a French-Lebanese composer and was born in Beirut, Lebanon, where a huge Armenian community exists, because most of their ancestors fled from the genocide in the Ottoman Empire. Yared also collaborated during his career with legendary French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour. Yared also scored a film for Jean-Luc Godard. See more »

Many films that debuted at this years Tiff were based on unfortunate periods of history. I hope that some of them can learn from this film. This has at its heart a love story. It also depicts what a nation is capable of doing to an ethic group when its leaders (both secular and spiritual) reduce the value of life of different cultures to nothing if it is not theirs – Islam.

This film is from the same director that brought Hotel Rwanda to the festival a few years back. That presentation was a wonderfully moving experience for me as this one was also.

This film is not all about murder thankfully. Its about the people who were once a vibrant part of the former Ottoman empire that find all of their hopes and dreams for the future suddenly crushed. It has at its core a wonderful love story and it has attracted many fine actors to portray these memorable roles. I found the female roles to be particularly well designed and delivered. Excellent female roles in this film.

FYI: At my screening (2nd) the director told us that there were 1400 seats at the first screening and that there were already 4000 negative reviews on IMDb – yes he reads these reviews. I don't believe 100's of Turks would come to a film festival only to learn about the Armenian Holocaust. No one at my screening cried foul.

People that maintain it didn't happen are still trapped in a loop of denial.

If we cannot remember the past we are doomed to repeat it.

This film is careful not to delve to strongly into the depiction of violence. I think this film might be appropriate to teach children about history and also to teach children about people who want to cover up history.

It is October 5th, almost a month now since the premiere. Currently 54,000 negative reviews for a film that hasn't opened yet – that must be some sort of a record.

The talented @LeBonLeBon plays a beautiful and sophisticated Armenian artist Ana Khesarian in @ThePromiseFilm, a powerful and emotional epic film of significance set around the end of the Ottoman Empire. The film depicts the 1915 Armenian genocide, during which 1.5 million Armenians died, and centers on a love triangle, between Ana Khesarian (#CharlotteLeBon), Mikael Boghosian (#OscarIsaac) a brilliant Armenian medical student, and Chris Myers (#ChristianBale) a renowned American Associated Press war correspondent who is determined to document the atrocities happening around them. Thus the personal conflict is played out against historical events, as the Ottoman Empire crumbles into war-torn chaos, their conflicting passions must be deferred as they join forces to get themselves and their people to safety. The Promise film is in theaters now. Do you plan to see it? You may purchase the tickets here: bit.ly/ThePromiseTickets #KeepThePromise #NeverStaySilent
