The meaning of the film itself can make it stand out. How much courage and perseverance does the protagonist need to go through such a journey. Although this documentary focuses on dialogue, the expressions and silences of the characters in it convey more...

Restrained and sympathetic, beautiful and cruel, fascinating and chilling; the works of art formed by the cage of human nature, are they gratifying or...

Although the subtitles are disabled, fortunately they can be released with English subtitles. I don't know if I will be able to see the public screening of "Although I Die" in China in ten years? I look forward to that day very much. 2015 Film Festival @moma...

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 ask for your home address. No one admitted wrong, no one repented, the murderer and his family lived extremely well, only the daughter and wife of one murderer showed some remorse and asked for...

Another film about the Indonesian slaughter from the director of "Deduction of Killing". It is still shocking to let the murderer and the victim narrate separately. To be able to talk about the murder process with relish without any remorse, has surpassed the moral bottom line of human beings. But for a country like this that lacks basic civilization and is mixed with two equally extreme and violent cultures, this is...

Instead of emphasizing the incident, it uses the records of a family to go deep into people's current psychological state. This documentary is more like a movie than "Deduction of Killing", and it is not deliberately formalized but based on the film language and shooting methods. Strengthening the interpretability and sensuality of the truth, making it real and allowing the bitter reality to be poetic, brutal poetry and the continuation of silence, about the past and loss and the continuation...

Certain parts of the film suggest falsification. But in the face of this kind of documentary that mixes "historical" or "popular science", it seems that it becomes less critical to destroy the real form. For example, in this film, there is a scene where Teacher Duan teaches. The teacher's narration (which can be converted into "language narration" in other situations) and the students' reactions are alternately presented on the screen (which can be understood as a "front and back" type of lack...

The Look of Silence, 2014
Two years later, Joshua Oppenheimer, who once made the blockbuster "Deduction of Killing", returned with his new work "The Silent Image", once again broke the historical "silence" and won the Venice Film Festival Jury Prize, becoming One of the few documentaries in the history of the festival that...

The so-called history, the so-called pain
This is really a desperate film. The protagonist, Adi, as the brother of the victim who was brutally slaughtered in the past, has always been serious and deep in the film. His expression has hardly changed. Only the eyes that have never dried up and the killers reproduce how his brother was cruel....

Joshua Oppenheimer: What support did you have from the Army?
Amir Hasan - Former Leader of Death Squad: They waited at the road with the truck. They didn't come down here. They never came down here. They called this, 'The People's Struggle.' So, they kept their distance. If the Army was seen doing this, the world would be angry. 'The Army is killing Communists!' So, to protect their image they made it look like the people exterminated the Communists. But everybody knows the Army was behind it.

Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Tell me about that madness.
Himself, former leader the village death squad: Some killed so many people who have gone mad. A man climbed a palm tree, every morning, to call for prayer. Killed too many people. There is only one way to avoid it. Drink the blood or go crazy. But if you drink blood, you can do anything.
Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: [Testing the eyeglasses] What do you think...
Himself, former leader the village death squad: Salty and sweet. The human blood.
Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Pardon?
Himself, former leader the village death squad: Human blood is salty and sweet. I know from experience.
