A large number of Khmer dialogues are not translated, and the translations between English and French seem to be very rough. There are always barrages coming out to cover things in other countries to one's own country, regardless of the reason why oranges are born in Huaibei. It may be these reasons that make me underestimate this movie.
The cross-border friendship between the two male protagonists is full of American routines (although it seems to be a British movie), and the feeling of being saved and saved. Well, this is the main theme of the US movie, although it also criticized the US bombing of Cambodia that caused civilian casualties.
The scene at the beach at sunset is beautiful, just like the poster.
Although it's a film about massacres, it's not disgusting overall, only the part that fell into the puddle is a bit unbearable. Most of them express the cruelty of war by crying children. The image of a child sitting on a high place alone amidst the gunfire, crying with his hands on his ears, is very impressive.
The main members of the Khmer Rouge seem to be teenagers, even children. Of course, young people are most likely to be brainwashed, or the under-educated are the most likely to be brainwashed, because the animal instinct of blindly conforming to the crowd has not been corrected by education. The only Khmer Rouge in the film who thinks about preventing the massacre is a middle-aged man who speaks French.
I just wanted to write a short review, but I accidentally wrote too much and couldn't let it go. . .
