Even hooligans have their boring time, especially the elderly hooligans, who have not joined a good political group, and have no leisure way to recite poems and poems, so they choose to make movies to cherish life.
Maybe it was accidentally caught by the documentary director? Maybe he accidentally chose his own personal experience as the mother? In short, this old hooligan chose a cruel history he had experienced as the background to "make" this movie. In the end, it was too...

The word Act seems to be objective. It's just an "action" without a value judgment. But the follow-up reactions brought about by the behavior are like a kaleidoscope, spreading in all directions.
The director showed Anwar the footage and asked him to reproduce the original scene in the form of a movie, showing Anwar a follow-up, allowing him to get out of this neutral and objective act and see certain judgments and hints. This is really not like a documentary by the traditional...

Strange that a film from two years ago was only shown in Hong Kong today.
No blood, no grand scenes. Just following an old man, slow but constant footage, slow but constant telling.
However, the truth is scary. The truth is cruel. The truth is unbelievable or even unwilling to believe.
We're going to kill them all, but in a more humane way. The leader of the Youth League directed the film so said.
In the Dialog talk show, the gracious hostess introduced with a...

This is the brilliance of human nature - the admirable executioner
The overview of this film mentions the 1965 Indonesian massacre. I have seen other film critics either stick to the incident itself, or jump out of the way to talk about documentaries from thousands of miles away, which makes me very disappointed with the ideological activities of the Chinese people. The extraordinaryness of this film is precisely because he does not talk about history and human beings in a preconceived way, but focuses on the description of Anwar, the executioner and his...

Thank you for executing me and sending me to heaven
I actually thought it was absurd at first and in the end they were crazy
I couldn't tell if they were acting or real
but what they did was really reenact the real
to a large extent I couldn't get what they were thinking It is a matter of pride to expose their crimes nakedly.
They can experience justice and brutality. They also admit that the Communist Party is not as brutal as they say, but the concept itself is distorted in their consciousness. What to change
They ...

justice! justice!...

Recently, I was reading San Yan Er Pai, which was originally a book to persuade people to be kind, so the process of reading it was not very worrying. I knew that no matter how much the characters did evil, there would inevitably be evil retribution. But in this movie, the villains in the naked real world, not only have no corresponding retribution, but live better than ordinary people. It looks like a really sad...

The film has no images or pictures from that year. This history is completely presented by the interpretation of the parties (executors) and the "actors". The director did not "return" to the scene, but performed a more realistic sense of the scene. It is not absurdity, but a fact, that a massacre that killed more than a million victims has not been reckoned to this day, and even remains the feat of many—humanity can never reflect on its own cruelty enough, and here it has not yet...

"Deduction of Killing" - behind the absurdity and joy is a massacre. The executioners have said that they have no guilt, but from their eyes and behavior, you will find anxiety and trance. This film does not contain any torture, everything is up to the parties involved Presented, they enjoyed the show, chilling and joking in the...
Anwar Congo: Imagine, in all this darkness, it's like we're living at the end of the world. We look around, there's only darkness. It's so very terrifying.
Adi Zulkadry - Fellow Executioner in 1965: We crushed their necks with wood. We hung them. We strangled them with wire. We cut off their heads. We ran them over with cars. We were allowed to do it. And, the proof is we murdered people and were never punished. The people we killed, there's nothing to be done about it. They have to accept it. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better, but it works: I've never felt guilty, never been depressed, never had nightmares.
Anwar Congo: Did the people I tortured feel the way I do here? I can feel what the people I tortured felt. Because here my dignity has been destroyed, and then fear come, right there and then. All the terror suddenly possessed my body. It surrounded me, and possessed me.
Joshua Oppenheimer: Actually, the people you tortured felt far worse, because you knew it's only a film. They knew they were being killed.
Anwar Congo: But I can feel it, Josh. Really, I feel it. Or have I sinned. I did this to so many people, Josh. Is it all coming back to me? I really hope it won't. I don't want it to, Josh.
