    The Act of Killing documentary. it's like a horror film [youtube]

    going to go see this later today:::::

    The filmmakers examine a country where death squad leaders are celebrated as heroes, challenging them to reenact their real-life mass-killings in the style of the American movies they love.

    The hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep into the imaginations of mass-murderers and the shockingly banal regime of corruption and impunity they inhabit.

                        are you really this serious> try again, because you have no fucking idea what the fuck you are talking about since you have not even seen the fucking film.

                        i don't shy away from reality, a documentary doesn't scare me. i'll wait and critique it after i've actually seen the fucking movie.

                            I have read a lot about this documentary and want to see it for sure.

                            I have seen multiple reviews call it one of the most powerful, though provoking, gut wrenching, etc. movies ever made.

                              some people watch a movie to have their brain stimulated for 1.5 hrs
                              other people watch a movie to enlighten themselves and walk out a different person
                              nothing wrong with either one.
                              some movies are able to do both and the brain stimulation really kicks the mind changing effect in high gear.

                                that's the ex general in cambodia or somewhere in asia right? he saved the people from getting slaughtered i think. dont know why they made a movie. i think it was frontline did a two hour thing with him.

                                  right, indonesia. except he did the slaughtering. it's a massive genocide that's been completely overlooked by historians and the media.

                                    When Sukarno was overthrown by Suharto following the failed coup of the 30 September Movement in 1965, the gangsters Anwar Congo and Adi Zulkadry in Medan (North Sumatra) were promoted from selling black market movie theatre tickets to leaders of the most notorious death squad in North Sumatra, as part of the Indonesian killings of 1965–1966. They also extorted ethnic Chinese, killing those who refused to pay. Anwar personally killed approximately 1000 people, usually by strangling with wire.
                                    Today, Anwar is revered as a founding father of the right-wing paramilitary organization Pemuda Pancasila that grew out of the death squads. The organization is so powerful that its leaders include government ministers, and they are happy to boast about everything from corruption and election rigging to genocide. A regime was founded on crimes against humanity, yet has never been held accountable.

                                        your comment was making a judgement call on why someone would spend money to watch something IN PARTICULAR.

                                        certainly someone who slings porn can grasp the tongue-in-cheek correlation.

                                        some of y'all, you included, should lighten up, it's a movie, i'm going to see it. that has zero impact on you. if you don't care for the subject matter, then feel free to make a comment about that but making a judgement call on my choice and then portraying a facetious comment i make as some sort of intelligence measuring my ability to associate 2 things in this thread is pretty fucking stupid.

                                          The director, Joshua Oppenheimer, was on The Ron and Fez Show on SiriusXM earlier this week. The host Ron Bennington said it was one of the most disturbing, thought provoking, and challenging documentaries he has ever seen, and he has a couple documentary producers on his show every week. It's not just a documentary about killing, it also explores the profound psychological affect this slaughter had on it's perpetrators, who are said to have dreams of their victims thanking them for committing their murders because the victims knew it was right. Talk about the mind falling apart in an effort to cope. I can't wait to see this film...

                                            It looks like a pretty deep, profound movie. I like watching challenging stuff so I'll have to check it out. Anyone who thinks it is about glorifying a mass murderer clearly didn't even watch the trailer.
