Watching Joshua Oppenheimer's "Deduction of Killing" was like being punched in the stomach, while watching another documentary film directed by this director, "The Image of Silence", was like the heart being pulled out by force. Chest cavity. In the first film, the crew tracked those in power who had not received any responsibilities in connection with the brutal government-organized murders that took place in Indonesia in the 1960s. And this documentary about the same atrocities is more personal, telling the story of an optometrist. The elder brother of the optometrist was the victim of this violent accident that year, and the optometrist spent his entire life hoping to obtain an explanation from the relevant government personnel. Touching and terrifying, "Silent Image" really allows us to experience the power of movies. When you walk out of the theater, the way you look at the world will forever change. Heartbreaking, unforgettable humanity.
