A very good movie

3 years, 10 months ago at Jun 12 9:31
Since I really loved ‘The Act of Killing’, I was of course really eager to watch Joshua Oppenheimer's directing follow-up, especially since it was some kind of sequel to ‘The Act of Killing’. Well, even though even it turned out be a more straightforward documentary than his previous directing effort, I was still really impressed and pretty much floored by the damned thing.

Through Oppenheimer’s footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered, as well as the identities of the killers. The documentary focuses on the youngest son, an optometrist named Adi, who decides to break the suffocating spell of submission and terror by doing something unimaginable in a society where the murderers remain in power: he confronts the men who killed his brother and, while testing their eyesight, asks them to accept responsibility for their actions. This unprecedented film initiates and bears witness to the collapse of fifty years of silence.

In my opinion, this movie is such a deep dive into the human soul and it was just fascinating to behold. I mean, this genocide in Indonesia was just the stuff of nightmare and it pretty much gives us a glimpse of what might have happened if the Nazis wouldn’t have been defeated and would still be in power nowadays.

"21.2. The Act of Killingin companion piecessä mies pyrkii saamaan jotain vastauksia tai katumuksen tunteita hänen veljensä tappaneilta miehiltä. Menneet ovat menneitä kaikkien mielestä eikä asioista kannata puhua, me teimme oikein, toisiaan naivat ne kommunistit, ei ollut uskontoakaan, näin leikataan kommunistin pallit pois. On varmaan sanomattakin selvää, etteivät käsitellyt asiat ole ihan helpointa sulateltavaa. Teknisellä puolella pieni tyylirikko on se, että keskiössä olevan"

"First viewing - Nov. 29th A sequel to a documentary is an odd thing anyway, especially in this case where this one's predecessor The Act of Killing was such a tough watch anyway. This time we follow one man's journey toward closure regarding the death of his brother. It's all well-made but also depressing at times & gets repetitive after a while. The people involved are interesting enough I guess, but I wasn't as engaged as I was with The Act of Killing. Looking around at others' ratings it see"
