I hope that everyone in the world knows this history, and such a tragic incident will never happen again.

I feel that the style is very similar to "Escape from Tehran", a news documentary-like picture style, the creation of the local scene at that time is amazing, and the details are extremely fine and exquisite. The level is already so amazing! Disclosing that inhumane history, let the world take history as a mirror, just for this reason, we should recommend this film. The downside is that the account of the Khmer Rouge autocracy is not comprehensive enough. There are only a few scenes in the second half that follow the encounter of the protagonist. It would be better if a more comprehensive and in-depth presentation and analysis of this history can be done. .

The Killing Fields quotes

  • Dith Pran: [voiceover in Khmer Rouge reeducation camp] Sydney, Angka says that those who were guilty of soft living in the years of the great struggle and did not care for the sufferings of the peasant, must confess. Because, now is the year zero and everything is to start anew.

  • Dith Pran: [voiceover in Khmer Rouge reeducation camp] I'm full of fear, Sydney. I must show no understanding. Not of French or English. I must have no past, Sydney. This is the year zero and nothing has gone before.
