Algunas partes estan bien logradas, otras solo son muy cursis, lo cierto es que esta bien filmada y bien actuada por Sam Waterston y en especial por Haing S. Ngor.-
Excellent film that follows the trials of a pair of journalists (Sam Waterston, an American and Haing Ngor, who is from Camboida) who are terrorized and barely escape alive from Cambodia while trying to cover the Vietnam War. It's nice to watch a film that isn't just shootous and...( read more)
The tragedy of The Killing Fields in Cambodia was an offshoot of the War in Vietnam. President John F. Kennedy had committed U.S. advisors to supporting the pro-Western government in South Vietnam against the communist regime in North Vietnam as part of the cold war policy of con...( read more)

A great, great film, Haing S. Ngor is fantastic in this powerful story based on real events. Brilliant!

"The wind whispers of fear and hate. The war has killed love. And those that confess to the Angka are punished, and no one dare ask where they go. Here, only the silent survive"

A great story about a tragic incident in our history. Realistic and full of impact.
i remember reading "The Killing Fields" in 10th grade and finding it incredibly powerful. the film version does a more than adequate job- even though it seems to speed through the last half.
Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Low).

This film is one of my absolute favourites. It is perfect in every way and moves me to tears every time I see it. It is a reminder to us all that even when you think that things cannot get any worse in your life. Just think about all the Dith Prahns around the world and that shou...( read more)
Moving film, Haing S. Ngor is brilliant, the whole movie shocks me but i'm glued to my seat til the end
one hell war flick .. especially for those who would like to study the massacre in Cambodia during Pol Pot dictatorship .. u better watch this one ..
An engrossing true account of living under the Khmer Rouge. I was first shown this movie as part of an American history class over four years ago, and the amazing cinematography and full force acting still stick in my mind. I will always remember the scene in which Dith Pran must...( read more)
On a personal note, I went to school with one of the kids that was featured in the movie - he said what they protrayed was tame compared to what happened *shudders*
Pol Pot, Cambodia, genocide but there is also friendship, loyalty and survival. You have to see it.
Two passionate and courageous journalists of different nationalities become witnesses of the horrors of war in southeast asia, one of them is a native who will have to hang on to his life while the nightmare remains.
Haing S. Ngor portrays the victim Dith Pran, with such candid...( read more)
It 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 watch...( read more)
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 Len...( read more)
Very depressing movie.... Don't know if its worth the experience of watching it again.
He was a reporter for the New York Times whose coverage of the Cambodian War would win him a Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. But the friend who made it possible was half the world away with his life in great danger... This is the story of war and friendship, the angui...( read more)
