8 points. I have never quite understood the Khmer Rouge's radical approach of self-destructing the Great Wall. From the title, I thought the story would end the moment the Khmer Rouge seized power. But this film is just the opposite. This historical moment is the beginning of the meaning of the film's "slaughter city". In the first half of the movie, the content of the protagonist SYDNEY is very general, but the second half of the movie is really exciting when it turns to PRAN as the protagonist. Fortunately, it has a happy ending.

Dith Pran: [voiceover in Khmer Rouge reeducation camp] I'm full of fear, Sydney. I must show no understanding. Not of French or English. I must have no past, Sydney. This is the year zero and nothing has gone before.
