The Killing Fields was a very good film but it didn't start off well. The first half an hour seemed too rushed. I thought the last forty minutes was outstanding. Especially the part where Dith Pran is caught listening to the radio in English and they realise he is educated and can speak other languages. Then some guy tells him that his wife died while he was fighting for the revolution. And after that, he is helping the guy's kid escape through the jungle and they step on a bomb trap.
'Killing Fields' was a great, important movie, and Mr. Ngor was very good, but Adolph Caesar deserved it that year. Watch 'A Soldier's Story' and tell me what happens if he's not in it - he is the heart and soul of that film.
He survived the killing fields of Cambodia but couldn't survive the killing streets of East LA. Dr. Haing S. Ngor was a true profile in courage and one of the most deserving Oscar winners ever.
Pat Morita is mumbling to himself, "Arhasdlkjsltaaaaaa... the one year I'm nominated, they find a more authentic Asian in the category... a guy literally from the jungle!"
i watched the killing fields on BBC1 last night and had to find more material on this guy. when i read that he died i felt truly sad for someone who i didnt know, such talent wasted
Malkovich who starred with Ngor in THE KILLING FIELDS and learned some of his native language - shoured "The Oscar is mine mother**cker" in Ngors native tongue while he was going to the stage
This was not a supporting role. Dith Pran's story was the center of the film. Was Sam Waterston's character the center of the story? No. So what was this? Racism?
Hollywood mainly gives best actor/actress awards to white ppl....all other minorities get the "supporting" actor/actress awards....that seems to be the trend...
RIP Haing S. Ngor...to everyone who thinks that haing got killed by some random thug was a lie!! you know dam well he got murdered for telling the true story of the khmer rouge..Cheyo cambodge biotch!!!!
His story has been my inspiration ever since I read "A Cambodian Odyssey", the autobiography of his life. Not to denigrate Dith Pran's experience, but if the audience members knew what Dr. Ngor had been through to get to that point, they would have given him a 10-minute standing ovation. Absolutely miraculous. He was an incredible soul.
@WEINBAUER Agreed... Although looking back now I honestly feel Pat Moritas role was a lead role as well... (although not considered so by the selectors at the time). Interesting how time can change someones perspective... Mr Miyagi is what the Karate Kid movies are all about. His kind nature, wisdom and hidden strengths. Check out the live interview with him ( 7 parts - bit of a marathon - but very interesting).
Now. almost 30 years later I consider it a privilege having been part of of this film as an extra for all these months of production in Thailand. Back then, none of the cast had a name,no one knew Malkovic , Waterston or Ngor, we were like a big family, eating, drinking and joking together.Blessed memories.
@atzengruber May I know what scene are you in? Ngor well deserved this honour, he totally owns the film. I am glad the film lets him shine and doesn't present a Western-biased view of the events.
@atzengruber Awesome! You were in a movie that changed my life when I was 14. A masterpiece and a valuable tool that taught me about the terrible and beautiful in humanity
The killing fields is one of the most powerful and brilliant films of all time. It was a love story with no gay sub text or any female lead yet I was chocked up when I saw it many years ago in the cinema. Haing Norg was brilliant as Dith Pran. I wish he was around today. Humans never seem to learn from their mistakes of the past. All power crazy and making the common people suffer....I hope you enjoyed your time as an extra for this wonderful film.
I haven't seen this movie to it's entirety since I was 8 years old, but wasn't Haing Ngnor the lead actor. I think he it would have been better if he was awarded for the Best Actor in Leading Role. I don't think screen time really matters all the time to determine who the lead actor is. We all knew Bruce Lee was the lead actor in Enter the Dragon, but his screen time was only have of the film's running time.
This Oscar was his Kama, as Dr. Ngor embodies the kind of human spirit that trancends all evil this world has seen and will see in the future. He will go on to live forever in the hearts of the people whom he touched.
This man lived through and escaped the killings from cambodia.he deserves to tell not only his story but all the cambodians out there that went through the a horrifying genocide!!! you need to give some respect and waTCH WAT YOU SAY!!! Khmer pride bitch wat you know bout that
That is inspiration there, I saw the film, read the story in People magazine, long before the Internet. I missed this, but he also appeared on Miami Vice, a very good role too, before he passed away
Qué emocionante Oscar. Muy ejemplar trabajo de Haing. Creo que se mereció más que un Oscar, una nominacion al premio nobel de la paz. Suena algo desproporcionado, pero su trabajo sí que impacta.
this is how casting in films should ALWAYS be - people who fit the part and come from similar backgrounds who have passion for the piece, not a-list celebrities in makeup.
"The Killing fields" is one of the best movie ever made. Moreover, the only one depicting the cambodian genocide. If you want to read a great book, I encourage you all to grab "A cambodian odyssey" written by Haing Ngor himself. A great man, and I wish they did a movie about his dramatic life.
Linda Hunt! What a perfromance in Year of Living Dangerously! Haing S. Ngor - what a man! Heatbreakingly tragic end to his amazing life story. Guess the message to learn from his life, and his untimely death, is make each day count...
Got popped by some crackheads in LA who tried to rob him. They asked for his watch which he gave, and then they demanded the gold locket which contained a picture of his wife Huoy who died under the Khymer Rouge. He refused.
@JakeTheTheSnakePatel Asian gang or not, they have to live with their actions, and be judged by their maker ultimately. So sad, after that tremendous struggle, and final elation with his acting triumph
I love Dr. Ngor. He is my hero and his legacy will never be forgotten. "The Killing Fields" is a brilliant film, and he represents heroism in its truest form. God bless you sir.
@filmmaker991 You and I both. I have loved and admired him since I first saw this move. His autobiography "A Cambodian Odyssey" is a must for fans of his. So, so powerful
When Ngor initially was offered the role, he didn't want to take the role, but he remembered what his wife told him: "Tell the story of Cambodia." Just before the Khmer Rouge allowed her to die in childbirth. I can't begin to fathom how well-deserved this award is, RIP Dr. Ngor
It was a little funny how Sam Waterston wouldn't let Mr Ngor go, he just kept talking. I wonder what he was saying? 'Remember to thank me thank me thank me!' :)
Just kidding, of course. Waterston was very happy for his co-star. RIP.
Haing Ngor was an amazing human being. I really admire his passion, dedication to others and his great courage. I furthermore appreciate Ngor for being honest about his short-comings in his powerful autobiography. This text shows Ngor's high intelligence and deep analyses of society and human behaviour.
may he rest in peace but this is my view on things:
a) he should have got best actor nomination, not best supporting actor. maybe the academy wanted both abraham and ngor to win awards
b) morita should have won this award. he was a joy to watch in the karate kid and most people quote his lines. what's not funny about "wax on, wax off"
It's like his number was up; but the man upstairs decided that Haing should survive the killing fields to tell his harrowing story to the world; after all that he survived; his life was taken from him by punk kids. How ironic and sad.
After his death, a relative went into his apartement to clear his things. She found the gold had been rubbed off the oscar because he held it so much. This movie and award must have ment alot to him. Rest in Peace.
I loved his book and I wish I could watch the movie. I'm proud to say that I am of cambodian descent and whats kinda creepy is that he looks like my dad and uncle combined and he speaks like my uncle too. Haing S Ngor is my hero.
I just finished reading his book about a week ago and finally got to watch the Killing Fields tonight. This man lived through horrors most of us could probably never possibly imagine. Yet he shared his story and the story of Cambodia that needed to be told to the world through this movie and his book. I suggest that every person should take the time to watch/read these accounts. Ngor deserves every ounce of this award. May he rest in piece.
A unique cinematic testamony starring Haing S. Ngor who had to suffer from the Red Khmer regime. I was really stunned when i learned that he was killed by gang members in L.A. back in 1996. I got no words for that.
May Haing S. Ngor, Dith Pran and all the victims rest in peace
The Killing Fields was a very good film but it didn't start off well. The first half an hour seemed too rushed. I thought the last forty minutes was outstanding. Especially the part where Dith Pran is caught listening to the radio in English and they realise he is educated and can speak other languages.

I think his role is The Killing Fields was actually a lead role since he was present for most of the film.

Oh God, if I was one of the nominees I would be like "Shut the fuck up bitch, just get on with it", so rehearsed and pathetic.

I loved his book and I wish I could watch the movie. I'm proud to say that I am of cambodian descent and whats kinda creepy is that he looks like my dad and uncle combined and he speaks like my uncle too. Haing S Ngor is my hero.

I just finished reading his book about a week ago and finally got to watch the Killing Fields tonight. This man lived through horrors most of us could probably never possibly imagine. Yet he shared his story and the story of Cambodia that needed to be told to the world through this movie and his book. I suggest that every person should take the time to watch/read these accounts. Ngor deserves every ounce of this award. May he rest in piece.

A unique cinematic testamony starring Haing S. Ngor who had to suffer from the Red Khmer regime. I was really stunned when i learned that he was killed by gang members in L.A. back in 1996. I got no words for that.
May Haing S. Ngor, Dith Pran and all the victims rest in peace
You will never be forgotten
