Killing field

The background of the film is the national tragedy caused by the separation and reunion of two foreign journalists during the Cambodian Khmer Rouge rule in the early and mid-1970s. The political and military domino effect after World War II and the Cold War game between the major powers at the end of the Vietnam War indirectly caused the tragedy. More than 2 million people were slaughtered. Looking at the history of China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam during the same...

The Killing Fields

Watched this one for Bruce Robinson and John Malkovich. Maybe I shouldn't've expected too much. Why does everyone on imdb board say it's a great one? No single one said anything bad about it.

Actually I was disappointed, not too much since I was very reluctant to watch this Cambodia/Vietnam/US war movie at the first place. Put the DVD in, heard music of 'Imagine' and thought 'sh*t'. Don't get me wrong, I love that song, or at least loved it. Just can't stand such a song in a war movie....

Finally know what it means to walk in any country in the world

For this country that is about to be reached in two months, Cambodia, through a movie, learned about her history and the story of the Khmer Rouge in advance. Forgive me the biggest feeling after watching the movie is the role of the American passport. At any time, the American passport can walk in every corner of the world. Wading around the stinky river water. The history of the Khmer Rouge needs further understanding. I'm just curious about what kind of perspective the Cambodian people will...

HERE, Only the silent survive.

I'm so glad I didn't live in that age of war. The things that war brought were
too scary.
Everyone (Khmer Rouge) was like
a walking dead.
Life doesn't seem to be worth mentioning.
As people say, without the Communist Party, there would be no new China. It is indeed a progress compared to the monarchy and the feudal Communist Party,
but film gave me a sense of reality. War and political parties are not as harmonious as imagined
. At the same time, some things...

It reflects the Khmer Rouge massacre in Cambodia, but the film did not one-sidedly exaggerate the massacre itself. It also spent a lot of space on portraying the emotions of the characters and condemning the Western government (note: this film was produced by the United Kingdom and the United States), in my opinion Qualified Holocaust movies are like this. They have a broad vision and do not avoid the negatives of people other than the perpetrators, instead of using hypocritical heroism to...
