This is a heavy movie, and it contains too much thinking about human nature, the internal and external causes of this massacre, and it took me three days to watch it. The biggest feeling is: the madness of human beings when they slaughter the same race is beyond your imagination.
There is no need for any parallel universe, just in the territory, you can see the extreme counterexample of my 10 years of darkness. So the massacre is not about ideology, it depends on whether the highest authorities condone it, and then the black and white are instantly reversed.

Finally, let me say something that has nothing to do with this film. Because of the popularity of "Deduction of Killing", I turned him to the media as a tool for the massacre of the black Indonesian authorities. In fact, you didn't say a word about those 10 years and refused to admit mistakes. What qualifications do you have to say about others? , Mako is really dirty stuff.

    In Indonesia in the 1960s, the government legalized the blind stream organization and used it to massacre dissidents. The servants who are not held accountable, even regarded as national heroes, want to cherish the memory of their glorious history in the name of the movie. Therefore, the evil of human nature, for the first time, I can see myself clearly in the reappearance of art. "But we should have done nothing wrong, or why no one will punish us?"

    More terrifying than the killing is the complacent complacent of the killers. The Indonesian documentary "Deduction of Killing" interviewed the backbones and executioners of the "Five Rings Youth League", a far-right paramilitary organization that participated in the anti-communist killings in Indonesia in 1965, and reviewed them in a way of reproducing the scene. The "scenery" of their youth: killing nearly two million or so Communist Party and Communist Party suspects, and taking pride in it all their lives. Shocking indifference and cruelty, 4-star recommendation.

The Act of Killing quotes

  • 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.
