Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac on war drama "The Promise" 

My great-grandmother survived and escaped this atrocity. She was 10. I am very proud of my heritage. It's a great movie! Thank you for bringing this to light.

Eloquently spoken on part of Christian & Oscar, the portrayals of their characters were nothing short of phenomenal. Thank you both for taking on these roles and thank you CBS for your transparency.

i am not the one to cry in any movie. However, i saw this, and i cried. I am Armenian (USA born). I told my grandfather about this movie, and he told me "chris, your great great grandfather was on one of those USA boats". very touching indeed

Thank you CBS for holding the interview!

Tremendous actors in incredible roles telling a long overdue story, exposing the truth about the Armenian Genocide.

From a 2nd generation Armenian genocide survivor - God bless Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac for bringing this story to light along with the director and all of the amazing actors in this movie. Armenians know this story. The world needs to know.

It's so weird to hear Batman use his actual voice, he seemed to really want to spread the message of the film but those reporters cut him off a little bit in the beginning. They still have my respect for giving this film some much needed attention.

I just want to, also point out just how important a free and unbiased press is to- Okay, thank you for coming! Goodbye

Christian Bale at it again with his accent.

Ummm.... Oscar Isaac was in Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year, Ex Machina, and Show Me a Hero.

This movie was 4 stars. Just saw it and left theatre with wet eyes. I wonder if Turkey paid off the top critics. Audience reaction is 93% POSITIVE which exceeds all films all YEAR !!!!

Star Wars? That's all you know about Oscar Isaac?

Just watched “The Promise” on Amazon Prime, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It is a story of war (action), survival and romance. Beautifully done!

I'm half Armenian and oh my god I'm so glad the genocide is finally being exposed. To those of you who think this attack on the Armenian people is no longer important since it happened 100 years ago, please know that my family is still SO affected by it. Every Armenian I know is still affected by it. This is why we've never stopped trying to tell the story of the genocide. We're still keeping the promise to make it known. I urge you all to go see The Promise as soon as possible.

My great grandmother was raped, beaten, and witnessed her whole family getting slaughtered. She escaped, but remained deaf for the rest of her life and traumatized.

Charlie Rose is unbearable! Christian is still talking, let him finish the sentence, it will took only two more seconds for God sake!

She likes Bale. lol. We all do.

I love that these amazing actors decided to take on these roles and to be part of a film that speaks on the horrific realities of that time. It’s admirable 🙏

3:34 REPORTER: DID YOU KNOW ANY THING ABOUT IT, DID YOU CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN BALE : NOPE

What a disgusting world we live in where president will not call a genocide a genocide and a whole country gets away with it!! Well done Christian Bale for speaking the truth. One decent person.

No one ever brings up America Psycho, Bale's performance was stellar in that masterpiece.

This is a great interview except for every time the actors get on an important subject and then get cut off

They’re very noble I respect these two actors a lot. I am Armenian and I could not be more proud of being a fan of theirs.

That dude definitely cut him off at the end.. like shut it down

CBS, thank you!

1915 NEVER AGAIN OUR REVENGE IS OUR SURVIVAL AMEN

HOOOLD UUUP!!! Christian Bales accent is gone. I'm about to cry!!!

This is a great educational and informative movie for our society.

Thanks for the interview and to these brave people that are not afraid of speaking out while the denial system is threatening to ruin every single hope of the justice.

#NeverForgetArmenianGenocide

These are passionate men for sure. Anyone notice that the interview was over as soon as bale mentioned the free press

Thank you for that coverage! The press did cover the story as it happened! The NY Times had many stories as well as Washington Post and LA Times and others. Unfortunately, even with the coverage the story was still forgotten and even ignored. The US sent much humanitarian aid through the Near East Relief or American Committee for Armenian & Syrian Relief. Also there were many American missionaries in Armenia / Turkey trying to help and get help for the Armenians. There iare many documented stories. Stories also documented by Ambassador Henry Morgenthau - US Ambassador to Ottoman Empire. And most of all, today there are videos of genocide survivors (including my grandmother) available for viewing, use and research at the USC Shoah Foundation (founded by Steven Spielberg) as part of the IWitness program thanks to the Armenian Film Foundation / USC Institute of Armenian Studies and the USC Shoah Foundation.

TYT Will Love This...

Let's just do an arithmetic here. Before the premier of this movie on IMDB it already got raters, over 50K ratings on (1) out of 1-10, this was close to the 45% of the voters then... US users now on 24th of april after the premier it has 9.8 overall ratings of over 15K voters. I hate when people are downgrading the movies before their release. Watch it first and plus it's goddamn Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac starring, and then have an opinion to rate it with chill logic! This bloody conspiracy should end...

"chronicles of chaos, atrocities" yo its called GENOCIDE, you know GEEEENNNNOCCCIDEE did not only happen to Jewish people, for your information 1/6 of the Greek population was affected by this as well, its something that some people call historical facts.

Thank you CBS !

It's Batman!

my grand mother father and mother was also murderd in the gecocide and my grand father's uncles and cousins !!!!!!! 1915 whe while never forget

talking about oscar isaac and only mentioning star wars but not ex machina is such a sin...

Love it👌🏼

Loved it! Finally a movie with substance.

Awesome film!

Great Movie, please watch this movie if you have the feeling for others.

such an underrated film

thank you CBS....

I first heard mention of the Armenian Genocide years ago, happened to see a random article of Kim Kardashian talking about what her Armenian ancestors faced. I was only vaguely aware of who she was at the time and still don't watch any of the shows she's been in (reality TV isn't a favorite of mine), but that article piqued my curiosity as I love to study history and had never before heard about the Armenian Genocide. This movie immediately went onto my favorites list for helping to bring some of the history and the story to life. There definitely needs to be some documentaries on the Armenian Genocide now, though.

Glad I saw it.

The Ottomans did not wake up one morning and think of committing a massacre. This terrible thing happened when Armenian nationalists raped and killed tens of thousands of Turkish villagers. Instead of learning the history from the Kardashian family, read the Russian and German records and you will see the truth. Still, I am so sorry for all the people who lost their lives, rest in peace.

Just wanted to see the comment section.

Archives was requested by Turkey for both parties to bring them yet no reply came Turkeys Muslim and it loses ful stop

Although the Ottoman Empire maintained this well-intentioned attitude at all times, especially since the second half of the nineteenth century, the Armenians, who had been plagued by the provocative activities of the Europeans on the non-Muslim subjects, began to take hostile attitudes and various rebellions. During the Russian War, the Russians took the promise of independence, which eventually led to the birth of an Armenian Issue. At the Berlin Treaty signed at the end of the war, the Armenians were not pleased with the reforms they had experienced in the provinces they lived in. After that they established the Dashnak and Hinchak Committees According to the beliefs of these committees, "The only way to go for the nearest revolt is to revolt all the institutions in Armenia in Turkey, to change the people, to fight against the Turkish government through public rebellion".

didn't happen

Battles may be lost by courageous men but wars are never won without them.

Bok

It really is a tragedy this powerful and important film was so overlooked!

WoW $100,000,000 budge - made $1.5 million opening weekend

Oh My God. It is a great movie. The Turks are exposed. Armenians will never stop until justice is served.

Sad story!!!!!!

Lady forgot to mention Academy Award Winner Christian Bale

Is that a wedding ring on Oscar's finger? Oh goodness!

D'ya like Huey Lewis and the News?

It is a great movie that will shows what happens in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide. I’m Armenian and the turkish people done many awful things to Armenians. The stories of my Armenian great grandparents are like horror stories. This movie shows less violence and more the emotional side.

If you live in the San Fernando Valley - you are more educated than most scholars. The information is shoved down your throat constantly.

what about Ukrainian Genoside 1932-1933 ? , why nobody didnt made a movie about it

How important the press is? Lol

One of the biggest historians in the world Bernard Lewis does not accept Turkish genocide. You know what happened between 1914 and 1918. Armenians killed many turks.İt was conflict, not genocide. Turkey and its people don't have racism in their DNA's.

Good to see they have their heads screwed on straight.

Great historical movie! Done perfectly!

Thank you for attention on #ArmenianGenocide

You guys this guy ghakki he's a bully please don't responde to his comments. He just likes to pick a argument.

It could be the best imaginary armenian propaganda movie i have ever seen

Christian Bale's career really took a nose dive.

Thank you CBS !!!

Wow the say Constantinople and not Istanbul! 😮👌

That film not true

I saw the movie is really educative

That's why Armenia invaded at every chance

What a story!

These things don't happen in the wrong movies. Let me tell you what happened ...American historian Professor. Dr. Justin McCarthy "ARMENIANS ACTED AS RUSSIAN AGENT" Expressing that the Armenians wanted the Ottomans to lose against the Russians, McCarthy said: "At this point, the revolution does not make sense, but for the Armenians, attacking the Ottoman army meant something and that is exactly what the Armenians did. The Armenians seized Urfa and other places, the Ottomans suppressed the uprisings each time, but in the process they had to withdraw hundreds of people from the Russian front. The best example of how Armenians acted as Russian agents is the Van region, where the Ottomans did not have enough armies, only had an army to defend, but in a province like Van If he could hold the mountain pass, he could have repelled the Russians many times because these passages could be defended very easily, but it would be very difficult if one of the Armenians attacked you. Many Armenians attacked the Ottomans, who gave 400 thousand dead. There were Armenians who were Ottoman citizens, but they were attacking the Ottoman army from behind. The Armenians, who took some parts of Van from Iran, united with the Armenians there, united against the Turks and Muslims in the region and killed them all here. They killed everyone he could find. McCarthy said that Armenians constantly attacked the ammunition and retreat ways of the Ottomans. where it was very damaged. They cut all the telegraph lines around Lake Van. To protect these lines, the Ottoman Empire sent hundreds of soldiers. The Turks had a good plan for this. The Ottoman army, which had to attack the Russians through Iran but had to fight against the Armenians, was defeated here. "Muslim Turks and Kurds were forced to flee." McCarthy said that the deportation should be seen as an action based on wartime. McCarthy said that even the Armenians were not tried and executed, he said: "Armenians helped the Russians for a century. Armenian nationalists said they wanted to destroy the Ottoman Empire. During the war, the Armenian youth joined the gangs or the Russians. The Armenians helped the Russians by cutting the roads and telegraph lines and seizing the Ottoman cities. Worst of all, the Armenians massacred Muslims and forced them to flee. The Ottomans knew that the rebels were damaging the Ottoman war process and that a significant part of the losses in the war were due to them. Armenian rebels were massacring Muslims and at the end of the war, 2 percent of Muslims in the Van region had died. This region is the place where the Armenians rebelled most. The Ottomans had very good reasons for deporting the Armenians. We know that the Ottoman Empire did not plan genocide and did not commit genocide. The Ottomans were trying to protect their country and people against enemies. "

what a stupid movie!

"I was forced to Google it" y'all learn nothin in american school or what ? woaw

To this day I’m not understanding why Armenian have so much ego!!! They coming from the worse history in now they think and they’re better them other rise 😳😔 is really sad! Good bless the human being around the world 🌎 not matters where we’re coming from or what color we’re!

I want to write a few things. It is said that Armenians killed Turks or Turks killed Armenians. The real Armenians know that they treated all Christians with tolerance as they did in Ottoman times. Let the historians solve this and let them investigate how much loss has really been given on both sides. Is there really an Armenian genocide as it is said? Armenian fanatics and lobbies do everything in collaboration with films, documentaries, books and common Turkish enemies. Let the historians of both countries speak the truth to come out.

Glad someone had the guts to expose the Genocide. What's old, is new again, with various combatants; globally.

LOVE these two dudes so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Christian is looking so GOOD here!!! (Unlike this current phase he's in.) :/

Despite a variety of warnings, the Armenians' Muslim aphrodisiacs began to massacre troops; The army began to see a more effective measure as a military obligation as much as a military duty. As a matter of fact, the army applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs on May 2, 1915 and stated that it was necessary to either "revolt the rebellious Armenians and their families within the Russian Husband, Anatolia, I have to distribute to various places.
