One of the greatest films

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 1999)

It's underrated films like this that don't get any publicity and the over-rated, pointless films do. I guess that's just the way Hollywood operates. This is one of the saddest, touching, unsetteling, scariest films I've ever seen. It's also one of the best. It shows the atrocities of war in a short amount of time, capturing and horrifying the viewer, but not sickening. It is a story combined with the Vietnam War and two journalists who have to fight their way through Cambodia at the time of the Khmer Rouge and the fall of Penom Penh. Vivid imagery and music is outstanding, but the acting and intensity shown is very realistically. This is the greatest anti-war film and one of the most harrowing, gripping films I've ever seen. Haing S. Ngor deserved the oscar and this should have won against, what I thought was a loser, Amadeus.
