    The incident itself was really scary. The director is very tasty, so that we can see such a jaw-dropping story. The documentary itself is still a bit...

    Four and a half stars, brilliant and very sad. The play in the play, the executioner wrote and acted by himself, is absurd and weird. No regrets, or self-deception, and finally put on the gold medal, was sick and vomited by himself. What a shocking and chilling value, what a distorted personality and...

    The soft light dance passages in front of the fish mouth are full of cruel absurdity, naive existential philosophy, and sincere distortions like gods help, so unbelievable and unreasonable. These slaughterers of the year voluntarily directed and performed themselves meaninglessly, almost reverently and fanatically. A "non-fictional documentary" is shuddering; it is unique in terms of form, and the blurring between "real" and "fiction" makes it unnecessary to discuss moral values ​​in this...

    Distorted, morbid, absurd and exaggerated forms make the cruel and terrible facts misty and obscured. The documentary is still a joke, and it is estimated that even the creators themselves have...

    This film reminds me of what I watched a few years ago: Caesar must die, five broken cameras. It is definitely worth writing a eloquent essay for analysis. At the end, I remembered Benjamin's saying that actors are used to be tested, of Warhol's screen test, and of Lacan's mirror image. All the mirror images and screens in the movie are reality and fiction, where performance and self collide, and the documentary is actually a tangent to reality. Pirandello will be very...

    I have seen the most heart-shaking documentary this year. The format of the film makes the document itself a surrealist color, revealing a sense of absurd joy. It is both black and ironic. The executioners played the role of killing and the victims who were killed. They knew exactly what they were doing, but they were still unwilling to admit their sins, and their values ​​were distorted to sorrow....

    Cannibal feast

    The first time I heard about this movie was in an afternoon. My mother told me that while driving the car, the Chinese people didn’t know about the cruel history of the massacre of Chinese in Indonesia. In the end, it was an American who made it into a movie and showed it to the world. This is our...

    Theater of the Oppressor: Trauma is universal

    The political extremists: the paramilitary youth: gangsters slaughtered the "Communist" and ethnic Chinese.

    Theatre of the oppressors: role reverse in the victims' roles.

    All about trauma: the need of taking the places of the others.

    How about the survivors of Cultu-ral Revo-lution in China?...n

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!
