Instructions: write a 2-3 page, typed, double spaced, review of The Killing Fields.

In doing so be sure to:
1. Briefly summarize the story, particularly the highlights.

2. Argue whether or not you think the movie was an effective way for you to lean about the subject matter. (Think about questions you can answer in your paper for this part.)

3. Evaluate the film as a “feature film.” This is where you give your opinion of the movie as a whole. Pay attention to the sets, the costumes, the music, the story, the acting, the plot, the message of the film etc.

4. Give the movie a rating of 1 to 5 stars. (1 is the lowest; 5 is the highest) paying attention to the way the story, through the creation of the movie was told. You must explain yourself completely to earn full credit.

2. Dith Pran: Interpreter and friend of Sydney
3. Alan Rockoff: Photographer
