First They Killed My Father

First They Killed My Father

I finally found the resources to watch this film made by Jolie. Rather than a feature film, I feel more like a documentary, revealing that period of history from the perspective of a little girl. I was very interested in the Khmer Rouge before and watched some books and movies. Julie's is quite restrained, not so cruel to the Khmer Rouge. From the perspective of a child, I think it is understandable. It was lively at the beginning, and then became numb, and there were some transitions in the middle, but it can also be understood that the brainwashing of the Khmer Rouge turned the child into a robot. Even when the father left, the little girl's reaction was very calm, which was a bit inconsistent. Common sense, but also understandable. In the end, when the little girl escaped and saw that the mines and traps she had planted at the time had hurt her compatriots, this section performed very well. This forbearance set off the cruelty and stupidity of the Khmer Rouge, which is worth reflecting on.

First They Killed My Father quotes

  • [first lines]

    Richard Nixon: [on broadcast TV] Cambodia, a small country of 7 million people, has been a neutral nation since the Geneva agreement of 1954. American policy since then has been to scrupulously respect the neutrality of the Cambodian people.

    British Reporter: [standing with troops] The Vietnamese armies on the south side of the river appear to be indifferent to the contest.

    Cambodian Politician: Under the pretext that there is a war necessity, they come into Cambodia.

    Field Reporter: Are you glad to be in Cambodia?

    Soldier: Negative. No.

    Radio Reporter: The principle casualties appear to be innocent Cambodians.

    Henry Kissinger: [at podium] ... the occasional difficulties in reaching a final solution.

    Richard Nixon: What we are doing is to help the Cambodians help themselves. This is *not* an invasion of Cambodia.

    French Reporter: The Nixon Doctrine for Southeast Asia appears to have failed. The war that began in Vietnam has now engulfed Cambodia. There is anger and frustration at the US bombings. Thousands of lives lost. Farms and livelihoods destroyed.

  • Propoganda Announcer: It's better to make a mistake and kill an innocent person than to leave an enemy alive.
