In 1965, the "930 coup" took place in Indonesia, which triggered massacres against the Indonesian Communist Party and killed 500,000-1 million people. This political massacre has left a lingering haze in the hearts of Indonesians. However, due to the age, the complicated causes of the incident, and the consistent "cold handling" attitude of the Chinese and Indian governments on the matter, this incident has not Not well known to most people. In 2001, documentary director Joshua Oppenheimer went to Indonesia to film a documentary about Indonesian sweatshops, "Tape of Globalization," and inadvertently heard workers talk about the 1965 massacre. Oppenheimer was surprised that all the victims’ family members were cautiously hesitating when talking about the matter, while the executioners of the year rushed to show off their “achievements” in front of him, a Westerner.

More terrifying than the killing is the complacent complacent of the killers. The Indonesian documentary "Deduction of Killing" interviewed the backbones and executioners of the "Five Rings Youth League", a far-right paramilitary organization that participated in the anti-communist killings in Indonesia in 1965, and reviewed them in a way of reproducing the scene. The "scenery" of their youth: killing nearly two million or so Communist Party and Communist Party suspects, and taking pride in it all their lives. Shocking indifference and cruelty, 4-star recommendation.

Jusuf Kalla - Vice President of Indonesia: [addressing a large Pancasilla gathering] The spirit of Pancasilla Youth - which people accuse of being gangsters - Gangsters are people who work outside the system - not for the government. The word "gangster" comes from "free men". This nation needs "free men"! If everyone worked for the government - we'd be a nation of bureaucrats. We'd get nothing done. We need gangsters to get things done. Free, private men who get things done. Use your muscles! Muscles aren't for beating people up - though beating people up is sometimes needed.
[Audience laughs]
Jusuf Kalla - Vice President of Indonesia: Once more, Pancasilla! Forever! Pancasilla! Freedom!

Anwar Congo: Why do people watch James Bond? To see action. Why do people watch films about Nazis? To see power and sadism! We can do that! We can make something even more sadistic than... more sadistic than what you see in movies about Nazis. Sure I can. Because there's never been a movie where heads get chopped off - except in fiction, but that's different - because I did it in real life!
