Act of Killing (2012)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Audio sounds demonic? Video not playing/delay while scrolling? Use the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, you're being blocked by a security service in use here. Can happen for a number of reasons. Or your specific device/browser might be throwing up weird errors.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Starring:
Country: Indonesia, Asian Cinema
Language: Indonesian (English Subtitles)

Genres: Documentary, Military

Plot – Spoilers:
In the mid ’60s Indonesia transitioned away from a leftist government. A transition that witnessed the killing of an estimated million communists and varied ethnic groups. The Act of Killing catches up decades later with some of the prominent executioners who carried out the killings. Most prominently featured here is Anwar Congo who considers himself a bit of an artist. He dresses flashy and carries the influence of Hollywood from his youth when he worked as a scalper at cinemas.

Several of the executioners have families now and have attempted to deal with the guilt in various ways. The vanity, pride in their accomplishments and status, ego, confusion and guilt – it’s all there in one of the great documentaries of our times.

As far as documentaries go, I wouldn’t consider this to be one of the greatest of all time by a long shot. It’s a propaganda film, about people that were fed propaganda since they were children, to try to justify their actions, even though it is obvious that none of them have any remorse whatsoever. Anwar thinks he’s a celebrity with his sunglasses, pink hat and his pimp clothes. When Anwar tries to generate tears near the end to show his remorse he can’t get them to squirt out so they have him go back to the area “where the murders took place” so we can watch him dry heave while he’s wearing his pimp clothes. Then they have a staged camera shot from behind of Anwar slowing walking down the stairs like he’s remorseful or something. I’m not really sure why his fat friend Herman was dressed in drag through some of the film. The film is way too fucking long as well. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars. Just because people tell you this is the greatest documentary ever made doesn’t mean that it is. Want to see a documentary that fucking blows this one away about something that happened in that neck of the woods around the same time (1968)? Watch “Four Hours in My Lai” (1989) and see some real remorse. The soldier who is the main focus of the… Read more »

Leave it to a Jew to make a movie where the Communists are the victims.

How is it even possible that this is the first time I am learning about this? The 1965-66 genocide in Indonesia, and the executioners are celebrated to this day. I’m not complaining, it’s just mind blowing

We haven’t evolved from monkeys yet, in fact monkeys are better creatures to this world than human beings. Unbelievable……..?
