Review of The Killing Fields (1984) by Talal A — 27 Sep 2011
The Killing Fields? is a film that illustrates the horrific truths of the Cambodian civil war. This film depicts the price of war, survival, freedom and friendship. The story is depicted as we follow New York Times correspondent Sidney Schanberg (Sam Waterston) and interpreter Dith Pran (Haing S.
Ngor), through their experiences in a country shattered by war. We watch a fictionalized account of the story of these two men, as they strive to record and tell the stories of the Cambodian: people, society and country.
Yes this film is more fluid than an eyewitnesses account. However you are left with a sharp pain as you grasp this nationâ(TM)s story. You will see the graphic details of the Cambodian history, you will be taken to the concentration camps where you watch as people are brainwashed, beaten and brutally killed.
You will experience the pain of sacrifice and dedication.
