A Hard Review

I watched "The Killing Fields" the other day about the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. It's based on a true story of a New York reporter (Sam Waterston) and his fellow journalist and guide Dith Pran (Dr. ). When all the non-Cambodians are evacuated from the country Pran gets left behind. He struggles to stay alive in the reeducation camp and eventually walks out of Cambodia into Thailand.

The film is great. The soundtrack, the acting, the writing, the directing. It's one of the best war movies I've ever seen. But why am I having so much trouble reviewing it? I don't know. It just seems that I ought to think about my words with this film more than some of the others I've watched. I want to spend a little time with it.

I know it's not "time-sensitive" or whatever, but this one needs to roll around in my brain a little while longer...
