First They Killed My Father-a Film US admit VN save Cambodia

[Viva_Viet]

40 years ago, On 25 December 1978, Vietnam launched a full-scale attack of Kampuchea (Counter-offensive on the Southwestern border ) and removed the Communist Party of Kampuchea government from power. CN accused VN to invade Cambodia and begged for US-JP's support to attack VN in 1979.

Millions VN soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect Cambodian against genocide Pol Pot regime backed by CN while thousands VNese also lost their lives while Deng tried his best to stop VN helping Cambodian by attacking VN border from 1979 to 1988.

A film is just like an apologize from US people to VN for being cheated by their greedy Government during VN war and the campaign to save Cambodian by VN people who just wanna leave in peace, but force to fight in so many wars against France-US-CN- Pol Pot till 1988

First They Killed My Father review – Angelina Jolie's triumph spotlights casualties of war
4/5stars4 out of 5 stars.

The actor turned director’s passion project is a psychological stunner that shows the effects the Khmer Rouge’s reign left on the people of Cambodia

Whatever may be thought of Angelina Jolie and the controversialway she auditioned young people for this particular film – a Netflix production which airs later this month – she has created an accomplished piece of work which is possessed of a genuine artistry. It is something to compare to the films of Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung, especially the dreamily sensual epiphanies of The Scent Of Green Papaya (1993) and At The Height Of Summer (2000).

The action is set in Cambodia, a country with which Jolie famously has a personal connection; her 16-year-old adopted Cambodian son Maddox is credited as an executive producer. Jolie has adapted the 2000 memoir by Cambodian author Loung Ung, about growing up in the mid-to-late 70s at the time of the Khmer Rouge’s campaign of violence, which wiped out one quarter of the country’s population.

Newcomer Sareum Srey Moch plays Loung, a little girl whose father is a policeman under the old US-backed regime. When the Khmer Rouge arrive in revolutionary triumph, her terrified parents (played by Phoeung Kompheak and Sveng Socheata) realise that they must efface any hint that they were once the hirelings of a government for which the newcomers have a fanatical loathing.

The father must pretend that he is just a manual labourer when the zealots come round looking for people to kill or throw into “re-education camps”; he must forget that he ever spoke French, the language of the oppressor, despite KR soldiers jeeringly speaking to him in French, trying to get him to crack. The family are brusquely taken away and set to back-breaking physical work on an agricultural collective. But the point is not to grow food; it is to feel ashamed and afraid, and to reinforce the new rulers’ theatre of cruelty and power.


The children are always hungry; there is a hair-raising scene when a horribly big spider is caught, cooked and eaten. With cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, Jolie contrives some eerily beautiful overhead shots showing their ideological fear farm from above: the people working there do indeed look like insects. When Loung’s sister dies, her mother is allowed no more than a few seconds to weep, then she must continue to work. Loung’s other sibling explains to her the idea of reincarnation: the dead person stays intensely asleep for three days, then realises she is dead, goes to the river and then prepares to return. Loung replies grimly that she hopes her sister does not return – to this. Finally, they are told by their mother that they must run away.

One comment on the YouTube: First Pol Pol killed millions of Cambodians. Then he started to kill Chinese residents (ironically under sponsorship of communist China), then he was stupid enough to kill Viet residents. Vietnam was pissed off and eliminated Pol’s regime.

does the movie link work wt u ??

Btw: there were thousands former South VN soldiers also join the army in the Cambodian campaign, too. Their experience in US weapons, helicopter like UH-1 were so useful when we attack Khmer rouge troops. DO u have more information abt South VN soldiers in the 1979 Cambodian campaign ?

Bro did you watch these?:

 

[Viva_Viet]

Bro did you watch these?:

Yep, I did watch. There r some misunderstanding on these video when the reporter believed VN used the Khmer rouge attack to VN soil as a reason to invade and occupy Cambodia while in fact, we just want peace on our western border (CN-US-EU-JP-NK kept supporting Pol Pot when he fled to Thailand after 1979)

After VN war end in 1975, VN had many problem need to solve first such as rebuild the nation, improve the economy etc, so we didnt want another war. But that time CN, N.Korea were so angry and envy wt VN cos we defeat US when they can not. They dont like to see a stronger VN, so they supported Pol Pot to destroy VN. VN requested a peace negotiation wt Pol Pot, but they kept attacking and killing VNese from 1975 to 1978....

Btw: I dont know if India still supported VN in Cambodia...or there were some misunderstanding at that timne ??

We were always close to the soviets, esp from 1970 - 1990 period...so I am pretty sure we supported Vietnam in the regional issues (fellow ally of USSR etc)....incl your liberation of Cambodia from evil khmer rouge (some sources* say India offered some assistance to VN for it too)...and your strong alliance with Lao PDR etc.

=========

From wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian–Vietnamese_War:

Between 16–19 February 1979 Vietnam and the new Kampuchean regime held a summit meeting which concluded with the two countries signing a Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation.[51] Article 2 of the treaty stated that the security of Vietnam and Kampuchea were interrelated; thus they would help defend each other "against schemes and acts of sabotage by the imperialist and international reactionary forces", thereby legitimising the presence of Vietnamese troops on Kampuchean soil.[49] Soon afterwards, the Soviet Union, the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, and India recognised the Vietnamese-installed People's Republic of Kampuchea. The Soviet Government praised the PRK's "remarkable victory" and expressed its full support for the regime's advance towards socialism. Furthermore, the Soviets harshly criticised the Khmer Rouge regime's record of terror, which they implied had been imposed by China.

===========================

Cambodia (under pol pot) was deemed to be pro-China too much for us....and Thailand was too pro-US. China...nuff said....relations only started to thaw in the 90s with them I would say. Vietnam has been solid bedrock ally for India in the region bro. Once we have large enough navy, definitely there is scope for much more cooperation in SCS, cam ranh bay naval base etc.

Great to know that Indian bro supported VN to save Cambodia. Just like our Foreign Minister Nguyễn Cơ Thạch said on the video : "EU needed 5 years to rebuild after WW2 so VN need at least 30 years to rebuild after VN war as the bomb drop to VN was double to the bomb that drop to all countries in WW2. SO there is No reason for VN to attack and occupy Cambodia in 1979 as we need to rebuild our country first".

I dont know when US will make an official apology to what they did to VN-Camb ppl, but I hope American will make more movie telling the right things abt VN. For CN, they r happy to make dirty money from supporting Pol Pot to genocide Cambodia, so now they pay. VNese-Camb r happy to see they r bullied by their 1979 daddy US now

 

[艹艹艹]

Did you finish licking daddy JPN and US azz?

PLA only can do useless human waves!

I hope the Indian government will invest a lot of money in the navy and it will become the strongest navy in the world,
I firmly believe

 

[艹艹艹]

Ok run to daddy USA and JPN now like Deng did! 2023 CN gonna crash!

The Indian navy would beat the Chinese navy
I firmly believe

Ok run to daddy USA and JPN now like Deng did! 2023 CN gonna crash!

Ys I can open the video, no problem, I think the video is available in countries where the intellectual rights are given.

Aha you mentioned a interesting topic. My father served in the Republican Army. He in fact was called on to participate in the military campaign against Cambodia. He joined the engineering group, not the fighting unit. He doesn’t tell much what he was seeing during the campaign though. He spent just few months there.

It must shock everyone that sees millions of deaths on the rice fields.

I hope once day all soldiers from both NVA and SVA will get reward and great respect for their dedication in Cambodia campain. We may still have some dispute on VN war, but all agree that Vnese who fought and saved Vnese-Cambodian from Pol Pot genocide are true heroes.

VN is preparing for the celebrating of victory against Pol Pot on 7th,Jan,1979 and I think oversea Vnese should celebrating that day,too cos many former S.VNsoldiers like your father also dedicated his life in the campaign

LOL. Viva Viet Flu is spreading.

Do u realze that CN can not survive if their leader, their people keep living in delusion ??

Is CN strong ?? Hell No ! US beat CN easly in 1958 TW conflict cos your air force suck. And bcs PLAF suck, thats why Deng had to beg for help from US spy bird to gather Intel before attack VN ( but still lost in 1979 war even when VN main forces were busy to eliminate Pol Pot). And bcs CN army suck since ancient time, that why CNese has to live in useless location wt vast barren land and desert.

CN economy growth also tks to US-JP's mercy and support. If US arrested Huawei right after Soviet collapse, then Huawei would not survive till now to brag abt 5G.

Dude, your PLA sucks and corrupted, your economy growth mainly tks to US-JP's mercy and support since 1979, but US want CN collapse now, so u guys will be the victim of 2023 chaos. What u sow shall u reap, CN support genocide and also help evil US-JP destroy Soviet, so now CN is the target of US and JP evil who massacred Cnese in ww2
