The Promise is a historical drama by Terry George, which is raising a lot of dust even before it arrives in cinemas. It takes us back to the time of the Ottoman Empire, which carried out the genocide of the Armenian population in 1915, which serves as the backdrop for a love triangle consisting of Christian Bale, Oscar Isaac and Charlotte le Bon. Although only a handful have seen the film so far, it already has almost 90,000 reviews on iMDB. On the one hand, he gets tens, and on the other, only ones, and people more than obviously evaluate the film according to its political beliefs and not its quality or. truthfulness. It is one of the most expensive independent films of all time. They spent as much as 100 million dollars on it!
