“The Act of Killing” challenges non-fiction by embedding Pancasila members in sometimes surreal retellings of their own truths. The discussions surrounding how to recreate events accurately are all the more fascinating because some of the folks have buried the purge beneath decades of denial.
It’s not surprising that the staged and real-life scenes are often difficult to tell apart. At its core, “The Act of Killing” is about the lies we tell ourselves to make the truth easier to swallow.
"The Act of Killing" merupakan non-fiksi yang menantang anggota Pancasila dalam menceritakan kebenaran mereka. Diskusi meliputi bagaimana menciptakan kembali kejadian secara akurat menjadi lebih menarik karena sebagian dari kebenaran telah terkubur selama berdekade-dekade kebohongan.
Tidaklah mengejutkan bahwa adegan dan kehidupan nyata sulit dibedakan. Pada intinya, "The Act of Killing" bercerita mengenai kebohongan yang kita paksakan karena lebih mudah diterima ketimbang kebenaran.
