Tyler Explains It All

I’m so glad you are watching this movie. I am an American who lives in Cambodia now and this is still affecting the people of Cambodia in 2026. Many of the people I have met here have had family members who were murdered during this civil war. I wish more people knew about this. Great reaction!

Tyler Explains It All

If you come to Cambodia, you should check out the Genocide Museum and the Killing Feilds, they are really eye opening and just so heartbreaking.

Luis

One of the great examples of an unexpected perspective switch late in the movie!

Tyler Explains It All

A little history lesson: The French occupied Cambodia from 1863-1953. Most of the older people I have met here (75+) still speak French. Cambodia is a fascinating country and one that I have grown to love and intend to live in permanently.

Youtalkingtome

That is so wonderful that you have found a home there! This movie was absolutely heartbreaking, but it is really comforting to know the people have endured through this horror.

Youtalkingtome

Right? A complete switch in lead character. And it worked very well.

Haing S. Ngor won a Best Supporting Actor for this. He was a doctor and this was his first acting role.

Actuarial Lurker

The amazing thing is that Haing Ngor was a local OB-Gyn who lived through the events of this film and won Best Supporting Actor in his film debut as Dith Pran, It was nominated for 7 Academy Awards winning three with Cinematography and Editing with Amadeus taking 8

I've travelled on business to SE Asia and it's hot as hell- 90F and 90% Humidity...would love to visit India, Japan, Cambodia and Vietnam

Joe- after the US "pulled out" about 25% of the population- about 2 million people died in the ethnic cleansing run by dictator Pol Pot. A portion of the US Holocaust Museum is dedicated to memorializing this genocide. Kissinger was the main advisor behind Nixon's bombing campaign which destabilized the country and led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge- with many advocating for charging him with crimes against humanity

Tyler Explains It All

Yeah thìs is a part of world history I wish more people knew about. I had no idea about this before I moved to Cambodia. I was born in the late 90’s so it was before my time. But it’s a dark part of Cambodian history that the country is still reeling from.

Tyler Explains It All

I will tell you that right now in end of April, Cambodia is fucking hot (94°F today)

Actuarial Lurker

The scene in the river with the skeletons was one of the most famous movie images of the 1980s....and the name The Killing Fields actually was used by the press for these regions. This basically was a real life version of the Dead Marshes we see in The Two Towers....

Youtalkingtome

If American politicians were held accountable for the mass destruction and death they casually unleashed on the world, maybe we would actually stop doing so much of it.

Youtalkingtome

He was fantastic. I'm glad he received the recognition he deserved for this role (although that seems a bit like category fraud; he definitely felt more like the lead of the film).

Youtalkingtome

That's great! I[m kind of surprised, because a role like his, particularly played by an unknown non-American actor, doesn't feel like something the Academy historically recognized at the time.

I became aware of these atrocities and the concept of a child solider when I read the biographical book "First they killed my father by Loung Ung" for high school. That true story has also been adapted into a film (2017?)

Suzanne Whyte

I watched this as a teenager and haven’t seen it since then as it’s obviously a tough watch. It’s an excellently made and important movie but I do wish they had included a bit more information in the final text about the scale of the genocide and how the regime fell. I always think about how difficult it must have been to rebuild after losing a quarter of their population, most of their doctors and engineers etc and how most of those who are left are traumatised young people who either witnessed violence on a massive scale or who participated in it.

Actuarial Lurker

Suzanne- the film was from 1984 so only a few years after the events. The US allegedly was STILL propping up the Khmer Rouge as being anti-communists under Reagan when this was filmed so the full extent of the horror wasn't known yet...but yes, there could have been an updated statement made reflecting what we NOW know.

Actuarial Lurker

Joe and Kevin- to your comment above, my own quick and dirty description of recent history is that ALMOST ALL of the post WW2 conflicts have been the result of the US stepping into the colonialist roles of the UK and France without trying to alter the status quo which was divide and conquer. As the world globalized and decolonized the US, Russians and Chinese fought proxy wars pitting "fake nations created by colonialists" by having factions kill each other. Examples Iraq was cobbled together by the Brits from 3 regions dominated by Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds who had been warring since the 1100s and held together by a local strongman. When we toppled Saddam (which of course had nothing to do with 9/11) we COULD have split the country into Shiite-istan, Sunni-stan and Kurdistan just like how East and West Berlin were split, have the UN protect the oil pipelines and oversee a fair split of oil revenues between these three regions and then step away. Instead we did nation building forcing people who hate each other under one country and of course the factions broke into civil war. The British "Raj" had Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus forced together when historically they had separate kingdoms. When they gained independence the West via the UN could have split the region right away into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh along ethnic/tribal/religious lines but it took years of local atrocities to do so. The Middle East problem today was caused by promising British conquered Palestine to Jewish, Muslim and Arab groups simultaneously and then letting the groups kill each other. Same deals in Vietnam and Cambodia under the French. Rather than "brokering decolonization" we have repeatedly forced groups with centuries old vendettas to live together under one government to exploit them and when these "fake nations" failed we simply sold both sides weapons- rinse and repeat.

Joe and Kevin- Sam Waterston was nominated for Lead Actor probably because he was a known quantity and was beat out by F . Murray Abraham as Salieri in Amadeus that you reacted to...

Youtalkingtome

I've heard of that novel. I have not had a chance to read it yet

Brandon

I don't know how easily available it is now, but Swimming to Cambodia was a very strange spoken word performance by Spalding Gray, directed by Jonathan Demme, about his experience on this film. Worth a look if you can track it down.

Actuarial Lurker

I've never been to Germany but my wife visited before we ever met. She toured one of the Nazi death camps that had been turned into a museum and told me that right after leaving the place she just went to the side of the road and started vomiting from the horror of what she had just seen. Not sure I could visit someplace like that even though it deserves to be experienced to be remembered.

Tyler Explains It All

yeah I totally get that. It’s not for everyone. Especially The Killing Fields. It’s depressing what they did to babies (I won’t go in to it, but it’s horrific and inhumane)

Clare Manion

This was excellent and devastating. And yes, timely in the worst possible way. My God... It will indeed be interesting to see what kind of stories we tell about our current period in 20+ years. I do agree that it is far easier now to stay informed (to at least some degree) about such things happening around the world, but I think the movies/novels/etc. about it are still vital because they deliver the emotional story we can connect to on a deeper level, which isn't always readily available through purely journalistic means. And if we're ever going to stop repeating this...

Youtalkingtome

Whatever movies her made about today, I want one about this cabinet. Another member resigned for drinking and sleeping with a bodyguard???

Clare Manion

Right?! WTF is going on over there?… The future movie is going to be a cross between Death of Stalin and Idiocracy.

David Adler

Great film, if as hard to watch as it gets. Pran, the lead Cambodian character in the film, was played by Haing S. Ngor, who moved to LA and was tragically murdered in 1996. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. BTW, the American ambassador to Cambodia is played by the late, great American monologist Spalding Gray. I suggested SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA for one of my movie purchases. It was his first major filmed monologue, directed by Jonathan Demme, that incredibly recounts his experiences making this film. Let me know if you find a place to stream it, I'll pony up. ☮️

The weather in July 2024 when I went to Tokyo was actually way hotter and than more humid than when I was in Kuala Lumpur later in July and August that year, FWIW.

Seeing young Sam Waterston as a young man is already so wild, since he was already middle-aged when I was watching him in Law & Order: SVU 25 years ago.
