Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Well, casting Julian Sands was the right decision because you can't go through hell without something beautiful to look at. He's gorgeous! So, allow me to be shallow, because this film's set is entirely made of human bodies, dead, half-dead, dismembered, bleeding, rotting, sick children, dead children, wounded children crying and then there's mud, mud, mud, more mud and dirt... it's hell on earth. Yes, the film looks great, if you can stomach it, with the soundtrack that would make your hair stand on end. But, without the photojournalists in action, it would have been a little too boring. The most exciting scenes are the passport forging scenes. That one made me think - how I miss REAL MEN on screen. And in 'real life'. The four leading actors, Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor, John Malkovich and Julian Sands all have such a strong presence. With each Haing S. Ngor closeup, I want to cry. Here is something real. I am sorry that journalism has since become a joke.

Te movie managed to be very much shocking and haunting with its horrifying images of the Pol Pot camps and killing fields. It's also very suspenseful and touching at how the expatriates try so hard, and remorse harder when they failed, to fake documents for Pran. Later the movie nicely changes too insert touching remarks as Sydney can't let go of his guilt for leaving Pran behind. I like how the movie tried to depict as similar as possible the environment of the location and time frame. GThe props and location settings are chosen well to give a good portrayal of the crisis era. The acting in overall feels nice. James Waterston handled his character's stubbornness well enough that it permeates into the whole movie. Haing S Ngor is the real jewel as the seemingly calm character he played as Pran can somehow emanate the aura of worry and his family and at the same time caring for his partner Sydney.

a film about silence. because its subject is an embroidery of war, friendship, illusions and cruelty and hope. because it could be only a sketch for a history page out of definitions. the Khmere regime was one of the worst from the XX century and one of huge virtues of film is the presence of Hing S. Ngor in role of Dith Pran, himself a surviver from terror. each of that characteristics does the film more than a beautiful or touching one. it is a kind of surgery. that fact transforms it not exactly in adaptation of a case but in an unique testimony and in powerful homage. it is the film of a wise director, brilliant cast, splendid music and amazing images. in same measure, it is just one of films who Must see. not for cinematographic culture, not for discover a slice of the last century but for something who can be a better image about fundamental things who defines us as human beens.
