    The way this documentary is presented is phenomenal! The director invited the executioners of the 1965 Indonesian Communist massacre to play the murderer and the murdered in front of the camera to reproduce the massacre scene of that year, allowing the audience to glimpse the extremely distorted moral values ​​and social status of the murderers. Trembling. Personally, I think the theme that the director intends to convey is much higher quality than the film itself!...

    The killing is terrible, and what is even more terrible is that there are still many people in Indonesia who are in favor of the killing. Killing of the same kind is wrong, regardless of political views, history...

    Filming is not only a pretext for recording, but also assisting the parties to recall. It presents subjective things in form. More importantly, it is the reaction force of the behavioral intervention method on the parties. Of course, Herzog likes these slightly crazy attempts when facing a lunatic. , just because the final introspection plot of the film is...

    The subject matter is very scary, and the intervention method of "deduction" is very novel, but the documentary itself is very incompetent. Comparing the attitude of the protagonist from the beginning to the end of the film, the director is self-righteous and regards the shooting of this movie as a journey of repentance for the murderer. Can those Communists and Chinese who died innocently be forgiven? The film barely elicited a little response in China's microblogging public circles, which is...

    "Since we have killed them almost, it is not difficult to slander them." This is the truth of the Indonesian massacre - the government used gangsters to kill innocent people, establish a terrorist regime, and then do everything to beautify it. After more than 40 years, the executioners directed and acted a movie to remember their "great deeds". The Danish director is...

    poor killing

    I am not talking about religion, not political parties, not countries.

     If someone presupposes that he is not from his own country, who are you? You would say that I am Chinese, I am the Communist Party, I am... Subdivided, subdivided, subdivided, until that person understands your difference,...

    Killing Moral Deduction

    In the process of watching, the question always comes to mind: At the end of the film, the protagonist will not be influenced by this, and suddenly find himself with an incurable sense of guilt. Sure enough, this Hollywood-style ending appeared so straightforwardly and for no reason. The movie...

The Act of Killing quotes

  • Anwar Congo: It's a good family movie; plenty of humor; a great story; Wonderful scenery. It really show what's special about our country even though it's a film about death.

  • 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!
