The history of killings revealed in the film took place in Indonesia. For Indonesia, due to the tragic death of a large number of local Chinese in 1998, there is always a bad impression. In the country's history, after the military coup in 1965, the tragedy of one million lives was even more shocking in the name of anti-Communist. Although among the people nowadays, the killing of people on the basis of communism is even more mentioned, but in history, killings on the name of communism have occurred many times. This incident in Indonesia can be regarded as one of the most famous incidents. This film shows more not the scenes of the massacre, or the recollection of how cruel people and events at the time were, nor the tragic memories of the victims or survivors at the time, but the assailant who surprised the viewers calmly, even glory. In China, for various heinous crimes during the Cultural Revolution, we often accuse the parties of "not repenting", and most of the parties silently say nothing about the past or accuse others of others' accusations. Gu Zuo's defense. . In "Deduction of Killing", the perpetrators represented by Anwar, the backbone of the slaughter of civilians in the past, proudly told the camera about their past slaughter history, and even demonstrated themselves to young people and even children in laughter and laughter. This feat is not addictive. They want to shoot this history into a feature film in the form of an American gangster film. In their eyes, what they did is not decent, but as cool and glorious as a gangster.
Anwar and others tried to reproduce their non-fictional history of massacre in the form of a fictional film, and "Deduction of Killing" is like a documentary filmed in this film, showing the performance of the parties from a special perspective. The Anwars have a deep memory of the "crimes" of the past, no, in their eyes they are feats. For example, when they started killing with a knife and smashed with a stick, the scene was too bloody, so they used wire as the main tool to construct various killing devices and techniques. They demonstrated personally, and their calm attitude seemed to demonstrate a kind of farming tool. How to use it. The actions of Anwar once again demonstrated the process of a modernity massacre described in Bauman’s masterpiece "Modernity and the Holocaust". The perpetrators recalled the past and made no secret of the utilitarian advantage he wanted to take advantage of at the time. Doctrine and mixed thinking, and the military uses them to legitimize the crimes and debase the victims, resulting in rejection and disgust, and further harming groups’ moral indifference to the victimized groups. The causal effects continue to overlap, and finally lead to a historical tragedy. . Starting from the massacre of innocents, they began a self-dissolution and paralysis of their sense of guilt, giving the victims the identity of the "Communist" to make themselves as if punishing evil, and using iron wire to reduce the external bloody murder method to reduce the process of murder The sense of guilt, collective action integrates self-behavior into the collective, and personal guilt gradually disappears. With the passage of time, their self-paralysis continues. They have become a community of interests. Similar to the recent remorse of some elderly people in China for the Cultural Revolution, the murderers of the Indonesian massacre must also act in unison, with similar identities and similar identities. Experience also allows them to continuously strengthen their common identities in their interactions. Undoubtedly, the special ethnic and historical environment of Indonesia has strengthened the historical memory of the group that they formed. Chinese historical and social traditions are centralized, so any history will usually have a "central" to define it, and the people of the whole country and the whole nation will treat it. Recognizing that at least the public needs to be consistent, so in a qualitative history, people who are considered to have done "bad things" are punished or silenced. However, the national interest of Indonesia is complicated, the geography presents the mentality of island country separation, and the country that has experienced constant turmoil in history has a split understanding of history. As shown in the film, there are still extremist organizations that can recruit young people to join and become leaders. It doesn't care about external controversy or even prides itself on it, and is still supported like a tsunami.
In "Deduction of Killing", you can't hear the voices of former victims and their descendants, and the perpetrator can proudly say that it was because "we killed them all at the time." Tragedies that have not been fully reflected are often possible to repeat. Under the lens of this film, you can feel this hidden danger. These "heroes" laugh at the children about the history of their killings, even the details, and the faces of the children watching. A smile opens up, and then laughs loudly. The local right-wing organizations are well-supported by the people. The leaders speak out about extremist ideas and participate in political elections as a political force, which fully demonstrates how democracy without the rule of law can contain the risks of populism. . There is also a touch of relief. During the filming of the feature film in which the parties tried to realistically restore the atmosphere of the burning and killing at the time, some children acting as extras were obviously frightened by this highly restored battle. They cried and burst into tears. It shows a trace of children’s innocent nature of natural rejection of such scenes. However, under constant strengthening, they may become accustomed to this naturally. The seeds of the next tragedy may be planted.
At the end of the film, Anwar looked at the finished feature film, facing the camera, and seemed to be touched. Most of the time, this film seemed very calm. As a former butcher who was very disgusted by the audience, I actually showed a distressed look at this time, and even showed the symptoms of retching under the violent mood swings. Will he wake up? I am not optimistic about this. After all, the environment that may form reflections has never been cast, but the environment that resists the truth and humanity has been firmly established. The Anwars are trapped in it, when they instill their rebellion in the next generation. At the same time as rational values, this environment that resists reflection has been continuously strengthened, and more people have passively become "accomplices" of forgetting history since they were young. This is a documentary that does not leave much "hope". It feels so incredible. However, if we look at our history, we may not show the attitude of vicious history and quietly forgetting, and the Anwars nakedly show off the history of murder. It’s just fifty steps and a hundred steps. For the documentary "Deduction of Killing", people from different countries may have different feelings based on their own country’s history. This is exactly what made people watch. The value of uncomfortable documentaries!
