MCT:June 27, 2008It takes a lot for a movie of this genre to impress me, and although right now I can't think of an example of one that has managed, I know it can be done. 'The Killing Fields' is, for me, an epic bore. The finale is actually surprisingly entertaining and bits and pieces are watchable thanks to the soundtrack and some serious violence and blood and stuff, but to be honest, I spent the entire movie wishing I were somewhere else...

The direction by Roland Joffé along with the Oscar-winning cinematography by Chris Menges bring the story to vivid life. There are a few times when the music distracts but, thankfully, those instances are the exception rather than the rule. The ending sequence, featuring John Lennon's "Imagine", is particularly touching though now bitterly ironic given Haing S. Ngor's murder a dozen years after this film. This is a compelling story of hope in the face of tyranny.

MCT:June 8, 2008It is so beautiful and overwhelming. It is the kind of movie that stays inside your mind a heart forever. Everything can be broken, except our spirit. A must see!

I saw this as a young child, thanks to my dad, and I still regale this as one of the greatest films of our time.
One of the greatest social issues films of our time. Thoroughly educational but also thrilling, captivating, and at times intensely scary.
Sam Waterston as you've never seen him, and Haing S. Ngor profusely deserved his Oscar. A must see, especially if you are unfamiliar with the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. -
MCT:May 25, 2008Intense, scary, and heartbreaking. It is that it really makes you appreciate how lucky you are to live in a country that doesn't practice mass genocide, and it makes you want to do everything you can to help the poor people who *do* live in those countries.
