In addition to politics and ideology, I think it is mainly because of the difference between the rich and the poor.

There is a chasm between Chinese and native Indonesians. There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Indonesia, but it is said that in the Suharto era, only Chinese people needed to mark...

After watching "The Image of Silence" by accident, I learned about a massacre that I had never heard of before. I was even more shocked when I was angry. I didn't expect such a horrible thing to happen in Indonesia! The Communist Party is as great as a god in China, but it exists like a devil in...

The third film I saw at the Beijing Film Festival.  It is also embarrassing, but it is much less surprising than "Deduction of Killing", and it is more of a return to the regular documentary form, which should be said to be a supplementary interpretation of the previous work.

In this film, the murderer is so complacent that he has to go to the United States to receive a reward, feeling that he is a great hero. The military and political leaders tell you that if you want to continue your life, you must forget the past. When you press harder, they will threaten you and...

It is recommended that you watch the movie and then read the comments below. "The Look of Silence", a story about the massacre of millions of communists by the Indonesian military government in 1965. After more than 40 years, I went to interview the "murderer" of that year. No one regrets it. I...

Take it together with the killing performance, and the effect will be better.

I often ask myself, should the murderer get inner peace? If they have no feelings of repentance, how can we deal with them? After all, the law can only punish people's body, but it cannot make criminals admit their...

Watching Joshua Oppenheimer's "Deduction of Killing" was like being punched in the stomach, while watching another documentary film directed by this director, "The Image of Silence", was like the heart being pulled out by force. Chest cavity. In the first film, the crew tracked those in power who...

Joshua Oppenheimer once again focused on the massacre of the Communist Party during Suharto’s reign in Indonesia after "Deduction of Killing". The family members of the victims interviewed the perpetrator and his family and recalled this history. After that dark and tyrannical era, the...
