Probably the best documentary I've seen this year. potential top ten of the year. The director's live Q&A was quite predictable, so much so that I even went to thank him in person after the...

A shocking documentary. In 1965, one million Communists, leftists and Chinese were massacred by local hooligans in Indonesia. Today these murderers not only go unpunished, they feel guilt-free. Even triumphantly made a movie to reproduce the massacre of the year. Fear and self-blame are realized when they play the victim themselves. The director's view of history from the perspective of a murderer is absurd, unique and ironic. Unforgettable horrified look of women and children extras as they...

Today in the 21st century, there is still such a species among human beings - in their dictionary, hooligan, killing, sadism, cruelty, etc. are all praise words, and they are still talking about it 40 years later. , and devote himself to re-interpreting the process of killing and abusing others, it is simply unbelievable! Executioner Congo asks himself "Am I guilty?" towards the end of the film and sheds tears. Perhaps his humanity has not been completely wiped...

No matter which path a barbarian nation chooses, it will be dehumanizing, and they dare to say that if communism comes to power, this country will still be reluctant to die without millions of people. Under the lens of Jehovah, the grotesque was born in a violent world, and every bit of exaggerated acting skills on the simple set comes from the animal nature and numbness in the heart. Horror scenes, fake blood plasma, hugging his grandson to watch the scene of grandfather's execution, teaching...

Undoubtedly the most shocking documentary I have seen this year, the piece of history restored by the killer himself, when I watched it, my heart was full of mixed feelings, this is a group of executioners without soul, they have no remorse at all, even if the last anwar left tears , but also because he was afraid of retribution for the massacre that year, not because he felt remorse. There are such people in the world, or they can no longer be considered...

The wicked man who still talks about Cain and Abel, he must have much more knowledge about evil than Congo, and he is a more worthy object of investigation. But what else can the good people ask for? The second-class wicked person is willing to show his face and proudly admit that he has hurt...

Documentaries in the post-Grierson era present a splendid appearance. The rehearsal and rehearsal process similar to psychodrama turns into the best shots of documentaries. Many people are imagining that when the disaster passes, human beings will be introspective and the country will be reborn, but the above-mentioned imagination will never happen, and reality will even run in the opposite direction. Human beings are too forgetful. The eternal violence hidden deep in human nature has to rely...

"History cannot repeat itself, the truth always exists"
From 1965 to 1966, the Indonesian right-wing military rebelled and carried out massacres against left-wing elements and communists in the country, resulting in the unnatural deaths of millions of people. The film launched an eight-year search and filming to restore the truth. Unlike usual,...

Director's Cut - Microcosm of the World
There's a sentence in the subtitles that doesn't seem to be in the movie.

Human law prohibits killing, so generally murderers are punished;
but those who kill and brag about it get away with it.

Anwar Congo: What I regret... Honestly, I never expected it would look this awful. My friends kept telling me to act more sadistic, but then I saw the women and children. Imagine those children's future. They've been tortured. Now their houses will be burned down. What future do they have? They will curse us for the rest of their lives. This was so very, very, very...
