Notes -
I only just got around to watching 2012's Documentary The Act of Killing and it's struck me pretty hard. I'm in neighboring Malaysia which had vastly smaller scale versions of the communist purges and ethnic unrest (in terms of death toll) than Indonesia, but still there's a ton of cultural awareness around it.
Just a bunch of guys who committed hundreds of murders in cold-blood with their own hands kinda having misadventures in moderate corruption and bumming around as mid-tier organized crime figures
It's surreal watching Anwar Congo sort of reenact how he would cut people's throats with wire in the chairs they had rigged up. I was also not particularly moved by what some viewers say was his epiphany of the brutality of his own behavior.
