I watched it a few months ago. Told all my Progressive friends about it because that is how a “workers’ utopia” really comes about. It’s not all flowery speeches and epiphanies like they think. Someone has to come and forcibly remove the middle class from their lives.
Thank you for posting this. I will definitely be watching this, and will let people know about it.
I saw it as well. It's mostly anti-Khmer Rouge but with some anti-Americanism thrown it.
>>It’s mostly anti-Khmer Rouge but with some anti-Americanism thrown it.
Yeah. The anti-America crap was mostly BS and probably necessary to get the film funded. After all, you can show the evils of communism if you spin it as Murrca’s Fault.
She got someone else to pay for his college.
Yeah, 'cause Nixon loved commies and it was his fault that the poor widdle Cambodian marxists went and killed all those people. Bashed their heads in with hammers and broken automobile crankshafts they did because bullets were considered too precious to waste when killing a mere human being.
Bkmrk.
That struck me as strange too. A 16 as an executive producer?
What does an executive producer do?
Their are those who do not agree
Nothing. The Producer raises the money and then pay themselves very well. That’s why you see stars now as producers, it’s just another way of getting them money.
bkmk
Obviously the writer never heard of "Journey From the Fall".........
Provides the money..........

executive producer is an honorific given to somebody who has contributed or inspired in some way to the production. Either inspiring, providing some script edits, funding, to bringing the stars Starbucks each morning.
Big name directors are often billed as executive producers.
Sirius, Jolie handled portrayal of our WWII POW vets in “Unbroken” beautifully...
Think: if someone were to do a movie about the atomic bombs dropping on Hiroshima and Nagasaki through the eyes of a Japanese child...no matter how “right” the decision was: war is war.
I don’t think the movie has anti-American agenda. But...there are times in history when the lines between good and evil get blurry because even the cost for good to ultimately triumph, can be so great. (And bloody.)
As I said in a prior post:

And even the best of leaders and men are fallible. (Nixon’s entire presidency attested to this. Great and accomplished, but fallible.)
