    It turns out that Peter Watkins began to play the virtual reality magic of documentaries twenty years earlier than Abbas, and he still used it desperately on the subject of political dissent. Under the preset framework, amateurs or non-actors with backgrounds similar to the characters in the story play freely, so much so that even the director himself can't tell the difference between the real and the fake several times. The shooting of this film itself is a performance art. While pointing...

    Cross-cutting strengthens the power of images, peeping into the hypocrisy of freedom and human rights and the power behind them, with agile, profound and indistinguishable authenticity, and the realistic meaning is expanded to self-evident...

    When Nixon in the film begins to deprive civil liberties, he is ready to deprive them of their lives. If people want to truly gain rights, they must participate in the formulation of the rules.

Punishment Park quotes

  • Defendant Lee Robert Brown: You don't wanna hear my message. You spent fifty years evolving a propaganda system that'll take the truth and change it into what you wanna hear. You don't wanna hear shit that's gonna mean you might have to give up something. You don't want it. All you wanna do is sit on your fat, dividend-drawing ass and draw dividends.

  • Charles Robbins: Would you like for me to define what a politician is? A politician is nothing but a debater. All that you do is debate issues, you fat pig, you meathead. That's all that you are, because you are lying, sucker, you're lying to the camera, you're lying to your mama, you're lying to everybody, but every time I hear you open up your mouth, all I hear is oink, you pig. That's all I hear, oink. 'Cause you ain't got no humanity in you, 'cause you're a pig, you lying punk.
