Review of The Killing Fields (1984) by Al H — 03 Dec 2010
The war-film genre is yet to be explored by my part, and I'd seen The Year of Living Dangerously (A similarly-commenced film) no less than a week prior, so the first hour of this movie was goddamn boring and deja vu.
When its traits became discernable, The Killing Fields launched into a Hollywood category and not a half hour goes by without manipulative music. The characters are full fleshed, the war-victim violence is plenty real and spontaneous, and the message is typical, but who doesn't like John Lennon and his posthumous lectures.
