Have you guys seen this film? It's fucking brilliant.

QuoteA documentary that challenges former Indonesian death squad leaders to reenact their real-life mass-killings in whichever cinematic genres they wish, including classic Hollywood crime scenarios and lavish musical numbers.

It's not really murder porn. It's pretty surreal and an awesome portrait of fucked up morality.

Basically, the USA supported this genocide, because they were paranoid that communism was going to spread in neighbour countries, so everyone who was chinese/communist was murdered and the perpetrators continue to live as heroes today. Still, they haven't exactly managed to amputate their conscience/guilt, which shows in their constant celebration of their deeds as if they are constantly trying to convince themselves that they are heroes and not monsters. Highly recomended.

Yeah, I can see that from the trailer. Horrific scenes of villages burning. Some arshole with a directors beret wandering in and shouting CUT CUT CUT.

This used to be satire. This is the running man, this is the warning that's in Robocop. If it was fictional I would say it's brilliant, but it's not so all I can think of is I can't believe it's come to this.

How long before we start live streaming executions, or having Big Brother Syria edition.

Oh, well that is a relief. It's just softcore murder porn. Awesome.

I, for one, do not need anything to invoke the knowledge of the horrors humans are capable of.

And I think humanity as a whole has had a pretty good idea for decades. We know.

We cannot seem to put end to it, and that seems like a worhwhile goal, but unlikely.

Most likely, as Faust said, Runnin Man.

Maybe because it's not a retarded Die Hard action film dumbass. For fuck sakes the children actor's were actually crying. Also the "I stabbed him for being Chinese joke." sets the tone.
