I first saw this film many years ago. I recently visited the killing fields in Cambodia, and I can see in this film the raw horror of the obscene acts that were carried out in that country. An excellent film to watch if you are interested in recent history.
Intense, breathtaking, heartbreaking untold story of the civil war in Cambodia. This one really hits home, because the events that take place in this film, actually happened to my folks. They endured, starved, survived, then fled to end up in Thai refugee camps. Their prayers were answered when they were given a second chance in NZ. Then I entered the story. The rest is history.
The film creates a virtual reality- hard to remain detached. Subject of war, impact and consequences is delivered well in this performance.
The Killing Fields (Academy Award Winners Range)
New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) is on assignment covering the Cambodian Civil War, with the help of local interpreter Dith Pran (Haing S. Ngor) and American photojournalist Al Rockoff (John Malkovich). When the U.S. Army pulls out amid escalating violence, Schanberg makes exit arrangements for Pran and his family. Pran, however, tells Schanberg he intends to stay in Cambodia to help cover the unfolding story – a decision he may regret as the Khmer Rouge rebels move in.
