    Jolie and Cambodia are connected to the Tomb Raider. This film is probably for the adopted children in Cambodia, so try to be vague and cruel and bloody, so it becomes a film about a bourgeois eldest lady receiving re-education of poor and lower-middle peasants....

    I watched a commentary video on station B. In the video, "exam question" was used instead of "corpse", "song title" was used instead of "revolution", and "Xuexin" was used instead of...

    Not only the little girl in the movie doesn't understand what's going on in front of her eyes, but even I, who have read this history from the perspective of God, don't understand why it happened and it's incomprehensible. The bloodiest scene in the whole film is the landmines laid by the children at the end, which killed not the enemy but the innocent people who fled the country... ps: The people's commune is to break up the concept of "family", and their family is in the people's commune....

    Julie uses a cruel and pure child's perspective. Her rethinking and sincerity can be seen in her works with heart and affection. The tumultuous fear and grief dissipated in the chilling atmosphere, how tragically the beautiful things were trampled, and how thoroughly the ugly masks...

    Too many are based on Julie’s perspective, deviating from the realism of the annihilation of humanity and the cruelty of war, and more of the tragedy of running accounts and the stacked path to survival. The full-screen close-up of the girl’s face is full of sadness and helplessness. As well as complex emotional appeals, but also mixed with a strong sense of deliberateness and pretending to be clever in the adult world, two realms separated from reality and reality, photography is beautiful to...

First They Killed My Father quotes

  • Loung Ung: What happens when people die?

    Older Girl: At first they think they're sleeping peacefully, not knowing they are dead. They sleep for three days. And then on the third day, they wake up. That's when they realize they are dead. They walk to a river, wash the dirt from their bodies, and start their journey to heaven to reincarnate.

    Loung Ung: Where do they go?

    Older Girl: I don't know.

    Loung Ung: I hope Keav won't have to come back here.

  • Loung Ung: Oh boy, I really hate minorities
