Review of First They Killed My Father (2017) by Acclamation — 30 Sep 2017
A good film that shows the tragic realities and results of current, American Liberal ideas (ie. the US leaving civilians to die in Cambodia and Vietnam, and the inherent destructionan murder that occurs because of large government control and redistribution of wealth); ideas which have been around longer than the US has been around.
This is a must see for Bernie Sanders supporters and American College students, who have been so lucky to be born in a country that has come closer to fulfilling Capitalist ideals than Socialist ideals. The people that lived through occurrences that are portrayed in the film, easily recognize the Socialist rethoric that they have survived. They either enjoyed thier sadistic journey, which is very few, or they never want to see the violence that Socialism tortured them with, ever again, which is the vast majority.
A difficult fim to watch, to see the Cambodians flee to the Vietnamese for safety and survival, simply because the Vietnamese were ever so slightly less Socialist than the Khmer Rouge at the time, and ironic, since the Vietnamese are predominately at fault for the Khmer Rouge’s existence.
A good film that will slap the face of people in America that say,”I don’t care about politics,” as well as Liberals who say everyone has a “right” to healthcare.
