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

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 bit more advanced than the monarchy and feudal Communist Party,
but film gave me a sense of reality. War and political parties are not as harmonious as imagined. The
Communist Party is conquering the world. At the same time, some things are bound to be lost
, life, belief, culture, and even human nature. The
film gives me a heavy feeling, the kind of heavy feeling that can't shed tears but is trembling. At the
end, when Sydney and Prang hugged each other, the Beatles I burst into tears when the song came out but I also know how hard and lucky
it is to be in that reality
.
