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.

Linda Hunt is classy as hell.

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 actually cried watching this.

'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.

Caesar should've won the Oscar, or at least there should be more Asians today being nominated for one.
-
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!"

the most deserving oscar ever

A mighty actor who played one of my favorite characters in film.
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.

What a damn shame that after all this remarkable and brave man lived through his life was ended by some thug with a gun. RIP Mr Ngor.
