Thoughts about "The Killing Fields"

I have to admit I originally thought that this movie would be boring.  I find it very enjoyable and am amazed at what harsh treatment military forces can give to civilians.  It was my belief that they had to treat them humanely, were in this movie the cambodians were treated very poorly.  I see now how history is a memory, all of these traumatic events are not something that can just be forgotten by someone.  They will always reside within a person's mind.  Those people will more often than not publicize their feelings and try and start a movement to help out in situations such as is presented in this movie.
