My wife and I had a private screening of the film The Promise this afternoon. Well...actually there just wasn't anyone else in the theater but technically it was a private screening.......I got that kind of thinking from Donald Trump.....or Emperor God as Ann Coulter now calls him....actually President Trump tried to strong arm us into passing the original scam Obamacare repeal bill....but technically he got a new bill passed so he's taking credit for it....and trying to buffalo us as to it being a great bill in the process.
The Promise is one of those films that when it's over you just sit for ten minutes as the credits pass by your glazed-over eyes. Glazed over because of the horrid stark reality of history that you just watched portrayed on film. The Ottoman government systematically caused the death of possibly 1.5 million Armenians during World War I in the final years of the Ottoman Empire.... women... . children....babies.... it didn't matter. This isn't a film review other than to say...it was very good... it was powerful....you should go see it!
The cinematic panoramas were majestic on the wide screen. The portrayal of the Turkish people was fair in that not all hated as the government did. Christian Bale and a few lesser knowns starred in the film.....which was really a history lessen....a needed history lessen as to what many people may face in the near future in many places around this globe if not the entire globe in a world run amok where powerful influences continue to scheme for a new world order...in technology running amok where the machine is not only becoming a weapon used against the common man but a threat even to its creators...and in religion where Christians are not only being persecuted but increasingly opposed by the multitudes, even in this once God-fearing America, who claim to be Christian while denying the tenets thereof, and therefore the message of salvation itself.
Matthew 24:24-25 (Jesus speaking)...."False messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Take note: I have told you in advance."
