【關於電影】

一段全人類拒絕正視的黑暗歷史,
啟發殺人魔心中最奇幻的電影夢!

製片:韋納荷索Werner Herzog【灰熊人】【陸上行舟】
   埃洛莫里斯Errol Morris【戰爭迷霧】

殺人無數的劊子手竟然也有電影夢?印尼政府在1965年被軍隊推翻時,安華剛果(Anwar Congo)從賣電影票的小流氓變成軍隊領袖,進行追捕共產黨員大屠殺,一年內殺了超過一百萬的共產主義者、華人、藝術家,及知識份子。安華不但沒被審判,今天更成了以獨裁統治強迫人民愛戴的英雄。

安華在片中實現自己的電影夢,以自已殺戮的故事拍成融合土匪片、西部片、音樂劇的電影,荒誕的情節加上殘暴的回憶,引領觀眾深入殺人兇手腦中的想像世界。觀影過程猶如一場狂熱的幻夢,眞假虛實之間發人省思。德國電影大師荷索形容為「可怕、超現實,影史史無前例的驚人之作!」

本片其一印尼籍導演,以及共計48位在27個不同職位上的劇組工作人員,都害怕因為拍攝本片遭受報復,皆以「不具名」(Anonymous)的方式出現在演職員表中。

【About Film】
Director: Joshua Oppenheimer
Producer: Werner Herzog, Errol Morris
Country: Norway, Denmark, United Kingdom, Indonesia
Language: Indonesian
Duration: 159 min

The Act of Killing (Indonesian: Jagal, meaning “Butcher”) is a 2012 documentary film about the individuals who participated in the Indonesian killings of 1965–66, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer and co-directed by Christine Cynn and an anonymous Indonesian. It is a Danish-British-Norwegian co-production, presented by Final Cut for Real in Denmark and produced by Signe Byrge Sørensen. The executive producers were Werner Herzog, Errol Morris, Joram ten Brink, and Andre Singer. It is a Docwest project of the University of Westminster. It won the 2013 European Film Award for Best Documentary, the Asia Pacific Screen Award, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 86th Academy Awards.

The Act of Killing won best documentary at the 67th BAFTA awards. In accepting the award, Oppenheimer asserted that the United States and the United Kingdom have “collective responsibility” for “participating in and ignoring” the crimes, which was omitted from the video BAFTA posted online. After a screening for US Congress members, Oppenheimer demanded that the US acknowledge its role in the killings.
The Indonesian government has responded negatively to the film. Its presidential spokesman on foreign affairs, Teuku Faizasyah, claimed that the film is misleading with respect to its portrayal of Indonesia.

【Sypnosis】
The film focuses on the perpetrators of the Indonesian killings of 1965–66 in the present day; ostensibly towards the communist community where almost a million people were killed. When Suharto overthrew Sukarno, the President of Indonesia, following the failed coup of the 30 September Movement in 1965, the gangsters Anwar Congo and Adi Zulkadry in Medan (North Sumatra) were promoted from selling black market movie theatre tickets to leading the most powerful death squad in North Sumatra. They also extorted money from ethnic Chinese as the price for keeping their lives. Anwar is said to have personally killed 1,000 people.

Today, Anwar is revered as the right wing of a paramilitary organization Pemuda Pancasila that grew out of the death squads. The organization is so powerful that its leaders include government ministers who are openly involved in corruption, election rigging and clearing people from their land for developers.

Invited by Oppenheimer, Anwar recounts his experiences killing for the cameras, and makes scenes depicting their memories and feelings about the killings. The scenes are produced in the style of their favorite films: gangster, western, and musical. Various aspects of Anwar and his friends’ filmmaking process are shown, but as they begin to dramatize Anwar’s own experiences, the fiction scenes begin to take over the film’s form. Oppenheimer has called the result “a documentary of the imagination”.

Some of Anwar’s friends state that the killings were wrong, while others worry about the consequences of the story on their public image.

After Anwar plays a victim, he cannot continue. Oppenheimer, from behind the camera, states that it was worse for the victims because they knew they were going to be killed, whereas Anwar was only acting. Anwar then expresses doubts over whether or not he has sinned, tearfully saying he does not want to think about it. He revisits the rooftop where he claims many of his killings took place, and retches repeatedly. The dancers from the film’s theatrical poster are seen before the credits begin to roll.
