I was looking for it while watching the film, but fortunately I found it in the end, that trace of human nature. All it takes is to put yourself in the other person's shoes for a moment. I also suddenly understand why there are so many people in the US military who are psychologically traumatized...

The director's position and point of view in the film are very obvious and beyond doubt. In the 110-minute video, the director selected some "attitude shots" that represent his own views, such as: 1. When looking for a local woman to play the role of the SHA's mother, no one was willing. This shows...

Write down such a topic, and feel that you can write an essay.

Movie overview:

In this chilling and inventive documentary, executive produced by Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man) and Errol Morris (The Fog of War), the unrepentant former members of Indonesian death squads are challenged to re-enact some of...

In 1965, the Indonesian government was overthrown by the military. For a time, trade union leaders, proletarian peasants, intellectuals, and many Chinese were accused of being the Communist Party. It is not fully estimated that more than 1 million people in these groups were massacred in less than...

From 1965 to 1966, the Indonesian right-wing military rebelled and carried out massacres against left-wing elements and communists in the country, resulting in the unnatural deaths of millions of people. The film launched an eight-year search and filming to restore the truth. Unlike usual,...

I remember that a scholar proposed that the human world is divided into the children of light and the children of darkness, and the same is true for human nature. After watching the two-length documentary, it is very complicated, sad, and cannot see through the human nature, and how many sins are...

From the origin of this documentary, to the shooting experience, to the content and style of the film, to the way the story is told, it is a rare "miracle". In the camera, a group of murderous kings are proudly telling the world about and restoring their slaughter behavior. Outside the...

What impresses me is not the killer's attitude towards the killing, or the final belated remorse. Hannah Arendt's summary of "banal evil" has long made me lose hope for the bottom line of so-called human morality. What strikes me is the acquiescence and admiration of the society for killing, as if...

A week before leaving Indonesia, I opened the film again. The three-hour film is all organized by fragmented fragments, but it is like a surreal black comedy, which is shockingly absurd.         Even in the past 50 years, the murderers who participated in the massacre of the Communist Party of that...

The name "Anwar Congo" is still used by Sumatran parents to scare disobedient children. He was one of the executioners who killed the "Communists" in Indonesia. It is unbelievable that, nearly half a century later, in this extermination operation that killed one million people, he and the other...
