Although there are still a few flaws in the film, documentaries have always been the most realistic, most recognizable, and most convincing of all genres. It's hard to describe the shock of those reappearing killing scenes, and I'm in a panic. This kind of subject matter is really not something that any country dares to shoot casually. Unbearable for the reappearance of history, sadness, pity and irony, the whole process of filming, explanation, contradictions, and finally the redemption of the self is also buried in the film.

The best documentary I've seen in a while. The murder is reproduced in the form of a documentary, and the torture of the murderer's heart finally shows the change of the murderer's mentality. It is the same scene. The story of the murder process, in the end suffered so much that he vomited. It's nice to see a documentary rather than a film where the director is totally in control
Jusuf Kalla - Vice President of Indonesia: [addressing a large Pancasilla gathering] The spirit of Pancasilla Youth - which people accuse of being gangsters - Gangsters are people who work outside the system - not for the government. The word "gangster" comes from "free men". This nation needs "free men"! If everyone worked for the government - we'd be a nation of bureaucrats. We'd get nothing done. We need gangsters to get things done. Free, private men who get things done. Use your muscles! Muscles aren't for beating people up - though beating people up is sometimes needed.
[Audience laughs]
Jusuf Kalla - Vice President of Indonesia: Once more, Pancasilla! Forever! Pancasilla! Freedom!
Anwar Congo: Why do people watch James Bond? To see action. Why do people watch films about Nazis? To see power and sadism! We can do that! We can make something even more sadistic than... more sadistic than what you see in movies about Nazis. Sure I can. Because there's never been a movie where heads get chopped off - except in fiction, but that's different - because I did it in real life!
