If you are interested in learning more about the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields, and watch interviews with Nuon Chea, Pol Pot's deputy, I suggest Googling 'Enemies of the People' or watching the film's trailer on Youtube. It's a really compelling story of a Cambodian journalist, Thet Sambath, trying to find out the truth about the Killing Fields and why his family died.
My uncle was in vietnam army in 1979, he kill many khmer, he is hero.
After vietnam invaded and conquer kampuchea we destroy khmer rouge very quickly. But throughout 1980's pol pot and khmer rouge reviece millions of dollars from U.S. to fight vietnam and put pol pot back into power. without vietnam help no khmer would exist today, you all would have died from pol pot financed by american money. the world is not so simple my friends, get educated. You will surprised.
@Nationalacr0bat What u say ..can be partly correct...after viet invaded khmer, there is a side power...one is pol pot...and is the king sihanouk and one is the hong sun's govt, back-powered by viet...later in 1990s , hong sun will negotiate with the sihanouk and form the present kingdom of cambodia. Pol pot's khmer rouge will still harrased the country at some areas but he was later overthrown by his own party. Pol pot died in 1999 and the khmer rouge offically surrender in 2001.
'The Killing Fields' is a great film. for those who love communism and think it is great, watch this film!!! it will change your mind. it did to a classmate of mine from high school.
@m16a1rifle ------------'The Killing Fields' is a great film. for those who love communism and think it is great, watch this film!!!---------->Yes, and also read history. Pol Pot was disposed by USSR ally COMMUNIST Vietnam. Pol Pot was supported by REFORMIST CAPITALIST Deng Xiaoping and by the US. The US fought to keep the Khmer Rouge's representation in UN till 80s!
Communists clean their own garbage. U also forgot about OPERATION MENU?! Communist Vietnam got rid of KR.
THE KILLING FIELDS was powerful - it brought to the public's attention the horror of the Cambodian Genocide. Stylistically, it was excellent for gaining commercial success, while not following the typical block-buster film format.
Brilliant film and may Dith Pran and Haing S Ngor rest in peace. Both brought the problems of cambodia to the screen and media. Better then any politican !
'... emphasizing alleged Khmer Rouge atrocities and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role, direct and indirect, in the torment that Cambodia has suffered.

Awesome comment. Many people don't see what you see. Many of the other Asians want to feel superior by calling Cambodians stupid. Not many realize that the neighboring Vietnam War mess led to this bloody regime. No one wants to talk about that. Another thing is that Cambodians do not blame or carry any hate toward Americans. This is the spirit of my people. They do not blame others at all.
I love this movie. I wish more people see this to understand just how depraved humanity can get as well as the strength and will to survive. It's a pity that Haing S. Ngor died so tragically in LA.
You blame the ideology, but ideology is not to blame. Ultimately the blame falls on those leaders that chose to manipulate ideology for their own greedy and malevolent actions. You knock atheism, but how many have died because of religion? Even then, it is because people take advantage of religion to gain power and order people to kill others. Communist ideology is utopian, individuals are to blame for the killings and crimes that may have arisen, not the ideology itself.
i have heard that many khmers have a hard time talking about the hardship they went through and that parents weren't soo open to share with their childrens.. but my folk alway's reminded me where i came from and what my people been through, ever since i was 5year old
I guess the parents don't want to make it any harder on their children since they live in such country. They don't want to make the aftermath any more difficult. It's a lot different when you're able to live in a better country. So your parents would want you to appreciate the fact that you live in a good place without taking advantage from it without proper gratitude.
my family escaped from cambodia in 1979 and stayed in the refugee camps in thailand, then i was born. i never really get to hear about the hardships what my parents had gone through during the khmer roughe regime, still today its still hard for them to even talk about it. i just wished we could at least get a chance to learn about the war in cambodia in school and how 2mllions had died during that time, like how we learned about the halocaust.
@LeakenaDoll interesitng you say that your parents escaped from cambodia in 1979. Intersintgly enough that was the same year that the vietnamese army invaded cambodia to overthrow the khymer rouge. The kyhmer rouge, their shoddy army, leadership and followers all escaped to Thialand, where they renamed themselves the 'democratic front' and recieved american support as a anti commie party until 1994 where the vietnamese left cambodia, and the Cambodian government then invited the KR refugeesback
@LeakenaDoll my parents survived to they told me everything they went through and what they felt but the americans dont give a shit about what happened to them
20 yrs ago, I watched this movie and was very encouraged. In the long course of life-threatening dangers, this Cambodian man never gave up, and kept his mind clear for survival, with strong hope and love he committed to for his friends. He managed to flee with a child of a killed Khmer Rouge. But an unexpected mine killed the child. I cried with the man. In this kind of extreme condition, something of love and hope seemed to transcend his actual fear of death. I should live like that.
It's ironic how the song "Imagine" fits perfectly well with the movie Killing Fields when in fact the song itself is out right very Communist - the reason why so many people in Cambodia and anywhere else died by millions.
If you think the Khmer Rouge were Communist you have no idea of communism. You probably think just because someone calls themselves "communist" they are?
Well. I have some news for you:
Communism never said people are to be made EQUAL. Communism says "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." You contrast that to the idea of making schoolteachers grow rice and see where it gets you.
As for "dying by the millions": how many has the democratic US killed, everywhere?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Commie, I've heard your point sometime, somewhere, many times before. It's sad that you can easily accuse me of ignorance with regards to the ideas of communism. Surely, can you not even see the outcome of what Communism as a form of government do?
My wife was one of the lucky ones air-lifted out the day that Phnom Penh fell. Far too many others were not so fortunate.
I had the opportunity to meet Haing before his death, and he shared a photo album with me, along with talk of what he went through. He deserved a much better fate.
Pol Pot should have been hanged a long time ago. Instead he lived to a ripe old age of 72 while many of his victims never lived to see their family, esp. children.
My grandmother fell under the thousands of massacred and starved innocence. I believe she died of starvation in sacrafice for my father and his brothers well-being. Comes to be that Im doing a story/ report on her, this will probably bring me closer. It just shows how Cambodian were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I share that feeling kayka62692 - you should listen to what Dith Pran had to say about Haing when he discovered that Haing had been murdered in LA. It touched me so very deep inside. Somehow they were like brothers.
when pressed into desperation, its amazing what you can actually survive if you trust yourself
the human body, although vulnerable, is incredibly resilient its a question of will, and Cambodia is the demonstration of the worst aspects of ideology in politcal will
Yes - a very, very poor rip-off of this scene was put into the film "Hotel Rwanda" where Paul Rusesabagina and his assistant drive their truck over corpses.
I am not a South East Asian Expert of a great civilization
ruins of anxor vat is the only thing i xnow of Cambodias history
but the spillover of Vietnam war inot Cambodia is a stain on the US-Human Conscience, HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE, SUCH AS RWANDA-FAILURE OF COLLECTIVE HUMANITYs values
China sitting on the United Nations Security Council veto all proposals of a War Tribunal to bring Pol Pot to justice - NY Times. China does not want western countries to dig up the truth! Simply stating that the "Killing Fields" is an internal affair of Cambodia! Also Pol Pot was givin political asylum by the Chinese Government!
Why? Because China sponsored Pol Pot to do its dirty work, after it lost control of Vietnam to the Russians! China was upset and will do anything for power and wanted revenge. Pol Pot is the same as Kim Jong il of North Korea. Cambodia is in a since like North Korea! Now China does the same thing and gives Nukes to Muslim Terrorists like Pakistan/Iran so it can Nuke India, and have another nuclear genocide; how sad that history is going to repeat itself!
The "Killing Fields" of Cambodia might be over, but there are thousands dying right now in North Korea, due to mass starvation by the hands of a cazy dictator Kim Jong il. Kim Jong il and Pol Pot are basically the same, because China sponsored both! China sponsors the military dictators in Burma, Darfur, and worst of all gives nukes to Muslim Terrorist States like Pakistan & Iran, so they can continue China's "Killing Fields" to India and all nations striving for democracy!

Excellent movie. I would try to create a Diorama with M-113 and Red Khmers on it just like in the movie but I dunno which figures could I use for Khmers....(scale 1/35)
Would you all just keep in mind, that this could happen every time a sick politicial regime takes over another regime. This ia a tribute to Dr.Haing Ngor and all of his fellow countrymen who survived the stark staring psycotics of Khmer Rouge and their socalled soldiers. A bunch of murders and killers. They were the true enemy and should be eliminated instantly. They had no mission but killing countrymen.
How far removed this seems, yet the lesson in courage is still relevent, and important. Incidently, I am shocked to here people speak of pol pot as a freedom fighter and a hero. Sad
The role of Dith Pran was Dr. Haing Ngor's first-ever acting job--and he rightly earned the Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actor...I was outraged upon learning that Dr. Ngor was senselessly murdered at his home back in 1995...may he rest in peace...and may we never forget all those who perished in The Killing Fields of Cambodia...
this genocide has affected alot...my mother's first husband was killed and so was my grandfather, whom now i am not able to even meet...but this song is sad whenever i hear it
How can anybody be so brutal, so heartless and so brainwashed? The Khmer Rouge should have been called 'the butcher squad'. Such ill logic in EVERYTHING they did, they didnt even benefit from it. Pure evil and stupidity
dude the U.S just had a bad experience in te region at the time so they cant just go back like 2 years after you know what im saying. its like the U.S withdrawing from Iraq and going to Syria 2 years after
It is from that movie. Hollywood movie killing field. They only kill educated khmers people. They don't let you see a murder in front of you. It is secretly some where secret place. They take them to a prison i think. I live during khmer rouge. The hard part is starving. Forced labor diging a pond, rice farming, tver srae. We catches fish for food. I was about 7yrs old during khmer rouge.
huy.....i remembering watching this movie i was crying.....i heard that the guy in that video....got killed by khmer krohom..?? like 3 or 4 years ago..at cali..i think...
yeah, it was in los angeles he died because some vietnamese people we're robbing him and they wanted something that had sentimental value to Heng Nor, but he didnt want to give it up so they killed him, came to america to get away from the fields but just ended up where he started
um?..those scenes are from the movie "The Killing Fields"..which took place from 1975-1979, years after the Vietnam War. Here, go look for yourself http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087553/
thanks for posting this. it is important that we remember the victims of the war and the people who continue to be killed by land mines. a lot of cambodians born in developed countries tend to forget.
All my high school friends died in the hell here called humankind.
I can't help but CRY when I see a vet who fought this horrible battle FOR NOTHING!
I want my best friends BACK ....

How far removed this seems, yet the lesson in courage is still relevent, and important. Incidently, I am shocked to here people speak of pol pot as a freedom fighter and a hero. Sad

What a great movie...I love that ending...
You forgive me?
Nothing to forgive, Sydney...nothing.
The role of Dith Pran was Dr. Haing Ngor's first-ever acting job--and he rightly earned the Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actor...I was outraged upon learning that Dr. Ngor was senselessly murdered at his home back in 1995...may he rest in peace...and may we never forget all those who perished in The Killing Fields of Cambodia...

How can anybody be so brutal, so heartless and so brainwashed? The Khmer Rouge should have been called 'the butcher squad'. Such ill logic in EVERYTHING they did, they didnt even benefit from it. Pure evil and stupidity

It is from that movie. Hollywood movie killing field. They only kill educated khmers people. They don't let you see a murder in front of you. It is secretly some where secret place. They take them to a prison i think. I live during khmer rouge. The hard part is starving. Forced labor diging a pond, rice farming, tver srae. We catches fish for food. I was about 7yrs old during khmer rouge.

yeah, it was in los angeles he died because some vietnamese people we're robbing him and they wanted something that had sentimental value to Heng Nor, but he didnt want to give it up so they killed him, came to america to get away from the fields but just ended up where he started
khmerguy562 5 years ago
he died because this cambodian gang,OLB, shot him in his parking lot. Trust me, I heard those shots myself.

um?..those scenes are from the movie "The Killing Fields"..which took place from 1975-1979, years after the Vietnam War. Here, go look for yourself http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087553/

thanks for posting this. it is important that we remember the victims of the war and the people who continue to be killed by land mines. a lot of cambodians born in developed countries tend to forget.
