In 1985, former Cambodian doctor Heing Ngor won an Oscar for his role as journalist Dith Pran in the biographical drama about the Cambodian genocide.. This happened ten years after the Khmer Rouge captured Phnom Penh and forced Cambodians to leave the capital at gunpoint..
The following is the text in the original language. Heyn Nor became another amateur actor in the history of cinema who won a prize. However, we got to the book “The Killing Fields”, which came out hand in hand with the publication “The Bearded Tamarin”, noting that it played the greatest role in Cambodia.
On April 17, 1975, the Red Khmers voiced that now there are no more poor or rich - all equals and innocents work in the villages for the benefit of Democratic Kampuchea (called Khmer Cambodia),. Zokrema - in the fields, planting rice, which was heavily fenced off for hungry and exhausted Cambodians due to important work..
Many soldiers shot, dumping mass graves in rice fields, which became fields of death, although they could have been fields of life. According to various data, 1.5 to 3 million people died during the genocide committed by the Red Khmers..
After coming to power, the putsch was blown out, as a result of which King Norodom Sihanouk was “thrown out”, replaced by General Lon Nol. Rokami Sihanuk reinvestigated the radicals, throwing them away, and after the coup, voting for the ousted order and calling for “their children” to join forces with the communists.. So standing on one side was Lon Nol, who was called the puppet of America. And on the other hand, there were red Khmers, of whom there were no more than a few thousand at the beginning of 1970.
Ngor writes: “At the rocks of the huge war, I knew little about the Red Khmers. I didn’t care about the price. As a typical Cambodian, I didn’t have to strain to achieve this position between the horizon.”. There were drunken barefoot soldiers who slept soundly in the shade, having too much rice wine. Bachiv evacuation helicopters, similar to grandmas. Having studied everything, I still didn’t believe that Phnom Penh would fall. “It seems that since the Red Khmers have driven the place from the outskirts, and the shelling has become savage, what kind of psychological barrier is important to me will inevitably be recognized,” says Nor at the bottom. Like a lot of people, they believed that there would be negotiations and wars to settle the camp. The hedgehog was still delicious, there was plenty of cognac, and there was plenty of kokhan. Ale Phnom Penh, an island of the world, was captured by the Khmer chervon. For five years now, the stench has engulfed Cambodia, actively recruiting villagers to help with anti-government propaganda.. Lon Nol, having deprived Cambodia shortly before the fall of Phnom Penh, actually forced to provide any support for the radicals.
When the Red Khmers came to the capital, people gave them water and water, cheered the soldiers, and even believed that they had come to end the five-year huge war.
" Between our hopes for the release of the guerrillas, between the order to deprive us of our place “for three years” and the reasoning that three years were just to cover three blocks, lay an unexpected interruption. There is only one thing left to convey: the greed that will seal our ears is burning, and our shares are no longer under our control,” writes Ngor in “The Killing Fields”. In the cruel fate of 2022, I didn’t believe, but rather, I didn’t want to believe in the beginnings of the Great War. I've been reading the news, but I'm still waiting for the calmness and reassurance. The thought of the alarming bag sent me into a cold pit. The hedgehog was still delicious, there was plenty of cognac, and there was a lot of.
This does not mean that I and other Ukrainians, who have always supported this hope, are to blame for Russian aggression. Yak i Ngor is not guilty of the Cambodian genocide. Alas, the book soon reminds us that it is not necessary to look at the root of the problem, to discourage us from being less prepared for trouble. Perhaps, if back in 2014 I had not looked away from the complex issues, I would have taken the alarming bag away.
If we don’t want to understand the changing minds of the war, we don’t question the facts of propaganda, we don’t understand what an aggressor is, then we leave more room for manipulation and unrealistic calculations.
Therefore, the most important thing for the skin hulk and skin hulk is to urge yourself to understand difficult topics, to look at the root of the problem. Not at all in order to become a historian or political expert, but because knowledge is a form of protection. If there is a stink, the wheel of history will spin, roll forward, but we may be able to run into it directly.
In the years leading up to The Killing Fields, journalist and writer Roger Warner, who helped Hayn Noor write a book, means that Cambodians will be honest and reveal. A lot of fellow countrymen were caught for bad manners by those who allowed themselves to directly express their thoughts and show anger. However, this very fierceness inspired him to cross the boundaries of Cambodian culture and speak to the whole world."
