	The Killing Fields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Killing Fields were a number of sites in Cambodia where large numbers of people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge communist regime which ruled the country, as Democratic Kampuchea, from 1975 to 1979.
		A 1984 motion picture, The Killing Fields, depicts the events that led to and occurred during this time.
		The CIA estimated that between 50,000 and 100,000 people were executed by the Khmer Rouge and that 1.2 million had died in total, mostly from starvation.

	The Killing Fields (1984)

		The film chronicles unforgettable scenes of suffering endured during the Cambodian bloodbath (known as "Year Zero") that killed 3 million Cambodians, when the courageous and indomitable Dith Pran endures the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime and is captured by the communist Khmer Rouge and punished for befriending the Americans.

		THE KILLING FIELDS wisely emphasizes the human element of its story, concentrating on Schanberg and Dith's friendship, and lets the political situation speak for itself.
		Chanrithy Him vividly recounts her trek through the hell of the "killing fields." She gives us a child's-eye view of a Cambodia where rudimentary labor camps for both adults and children are the norm and modern technology no longer exists.

		So we got our hands on a copy of The Killing Fields, a movie made in the early 80s about Cambodia's civil war, and sat down to watch it.
		Having been to the actual Killing Fields, I was expecting a rather grusome Saving Private Ryan type of war movie, but I was surpised by what I saw.
		If that movie had been made a year ago, it would have been filled with blood and guts, as if the special effects department just wouldn't have been able to help themselves.

		What that means is that the lessons of the Killing Fields, unlike the lessons of earlier tragedies like the Nazi Holocaust, have yet to be understood.
		She was among the first Cambodian refugees to reach the U.S. from a Thai refugee camp, after a daring escape from Phnom Penh on April 17 in the plane of her then-husband, a Cambodian air force officer.
		While the genocide targeted minority ethnic and religious groups like the Vietnamese, Chinese and the Chams, a Muslim people, the Killing Fields was also unique in that it was largely an act of “auto-genocide.” Cambodians did the killing and the dying.

		But it's impossible to walk away from the human experience borne witness to before the movie's done, if one has any pretense of being human, and that's its great strength.
		He recalls Ngor's reaction to one child actress whose hard face in enacting a scene convinced Ngor she wasn't just pretending to be Khmer Rouge, and Ngor's request that Joffe participate in one critical scene by muttering real torments Ngor suffered at the hands of the "KR" as a way of enhancing his performance.
		It's a great movie because it doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, because it never loses sight of the human dimension, and because it gave a pretense of understanding to one of the great human traumas after World War II.

		The Killing Fields is a brutally honest exploration of loyalty and fidelity during the Khmer Rouge's horrific Cambodian holocaust in the mid-1970s.
		This movie is obviously well-made and well-received (7 oscar nominations and 3 wins), but I found it to be too long at 141 minutes and it did not really hold my interest.
		Pran is captured and sentenced to forced labor in the Killing Fields where he sees his whole family, friends and colleagues being murdered in cold blood and with no justification.

		But there was no reason he couldn't make a movie about his ordeal.
		He has distributed copies of his movie to university law schools and other venues, but its central message has still not bubbled up into the mainstream media.

		The Killing Fields is a film that leaves a lasting emotional impression.
		The Killing Fields is probably my favorite film of all time.

	The Killing Fields (1984) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		Filmmaker Roland Joffé, previously a documentarist, made his feature debut with this account of Dith's rocky survival in the ensuing madness of the Khmer Rouge's genocidal campaign.
		The script spends some time with Schanberg's feelings of guilt after the fact, but most of the movie is a shattering re-creation of hell on Earth.
		The late Haing S. Ngor--a real-life doctor who had never acted before and who lived through the events depicted by Joffé--is outstanding, and he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
