People may assume 'The Act of Killing' is a historical documentary about what happened in 1965. But our purpose was to expose a present-day regime of fear for what it is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To put it crudely, 'The Act of Killing' would blast open the space for the more delicate film, 'The Look of Silence,' to do its work.
I don't think I'd seen anything like 'The Killing.'
'The Killing' has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it's very sad and deals with mourning and grief, it's still exciting. It's about real people and it doesn't shy from the painful points of life.
I'm not sure whay I've been drawn to this subject, except that murder is a subject that has always drawn people for as long as people have been telling stories.
The act of dying is one of the acts of life.
To kill, in war or in any circumstance, creates a silence. It is right that silence should surround the taking of life. After all, the life taken is not ours to take.
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
If you kill someone, it shows that you are afraid of that person.
Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'
