Trying my best to be objective (subjective??).......
A bit too recent history for my liking. And the fact that it was actually witnessed by all of us given modern media technology. I think that is the difference. Equally bad things have happened before, but they were not televised globally, so they were never taken so personally by so many people. So we can watch a movie about Cambodia and see it as telling the world what really happened. This is the other way round. We know very well what happened, so a movie seems somewhat crass and inapropriate. Am I making sense? I'm just writing this on the fly, so hopefully it is understandable.
Bottom line, though, if we are honest is that it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to dramatise it. I find it hard to believe that they can make it any more dramatic than it actually was though. I would like to think it will be a total flop as a result.

Now i'm not trying to say either way whether i agree with the making of this film or not...... but the victims families wanted it to go ahead in order that we don't forget.
I don't think anyone will forget.....I still remember where i was/what i was eating/ my feelings of suprise then sheer horror as i watched the news flash on sky tv that day.

I am with you on this Trug. I remember watching on sky and thinkin someone had put the movie channel on and what the heck was this I was watching. The imagery will stay with me a very long time, I dont need to watch a film to remember.
