Yet, many of those in the #HealthField submitted out of #FEAR, becoming accessories for #TheKillingFields!

#TheKillingFields (1984) : A high-tension biographical drama about journalism and survival during the Cambodian Civil War. The film famously won multiple BAFTAs, including Best Actor, while the same actor — #HaingSNgor — was awarded Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. Interesting how two institutions interpret a performance differently. Anyway, coming back to the film, it is painful, subtle, realistic, emotionally draining, and at times, undeniably overlong. But that length comes with a purpose: the story has to cover a wide range of real events — brutal killings, riots, oppressive political transition, war-torn chaos, and continuous survival attempts. There are cinematic liberties taken, but fortunately nothing feels exaggerated. The narrative follows reporter Sydney Schanberg, who arrives in Cambodia and reunites with local journalist Dith Pran. When bombings strike Neak Leung, the two are arrested, only to be released later. As the Khmer Rouge rise to power, Sydney decides to stay and document the situation, and Pran refuses to abandon him — leaving his own family behind. Eventually, Pran secures Sydney’s release, but ends up imprisoned himself after a passport photo exposes him as a local guy. What follows is his terrifying ordeal under the merciless totalitarian regime, and his desperate journey toward freedom. The famous “killing fields” sequence is harrowing, and the moment Pran drinks blood from a cow’s neck to survive is almost unbearable to watch. Haing S. Ngor is phenomenal — his deeply human performance truly earns every award and the audience’s empathy. Sam Waterston also performs strongly, and the rest of the cast delivers solid support. The frequent dialogue in Khmer without subtitles was challenging. Roland Joffé directs with remarkable restraint and artistic precision, crafting a film rich in emotion, anger, trauma, and cinematic value. It may not be traditionally entertaining — and yes, the runtime could be tighter — but despite its flaws, it remains a powerful watch. RATING – 7/10* #RolandJoffe #SamWaterston #JulianSands #CraigTNelson #JohnMalkovich #AtholFugard #MovieReview #BritishMovie

Picked up some 20 mm cubes to use with my existing collection of 15 mm cubes. 8s for Go lines & small guys. 15s man-sized creatures. These 20s will represent monsters, or glued together in pairs, cavalry. #cubegaming #Chainmail #TheKillingFields #LeaderofMen

Got to playtest the most recent version of @WargameCulture's Killing Fields skirmish rules. Really fun system, definitely a hobbyist ruleset (in the absolute best way). Highly recommend checking out the pre-release version if you're looking to try a new fantasy/medieval game!
