An excellent movie showing the truth about war...

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2006)

This movie was simply amazing. It was one of the better war films that I have seen that has to do with South East Asia.
This movie deals with what was happening in Cambodia at around the same time that the United States was fighting in Vietnam. It showed the effects of what the US bombing of areas in Cambodia did to the people. It shows the excessive brutality that the Khmer Rouge used against its own people. It is the type of movie that opens your eyes and makes you realize how evil some people can be to each other. The scene when Dith Pran comes upon the killing fields and discovers the huge number of bodies is only one scene that opens the viewer's eyes.
The Killing Fields is an exhilarating thriller that keeps the watcher on their toes all the time. If more people were to watch this movie, I believe that they would agree.
