The Killing Fields

[glacier_kitty]

I watched that yesterday and it was really good and very sad. It was about a war in Cambodia during the Vietnam War (we learned about it in post WW2). A journalist traveled there and became really good friends with his translator (and he was my fave character. HE DIDN'T DIE!!! YAY!!!). The journalist, named Sydney, had to go back to America but his friend, Dith, had to stay and worked for the enemy. Dith's family moved to New York and was in touch with Sydney...they thought Dith was dead. Dith escapes one day and then a guy finds him and gives him a map and American money and Dith walks to a hospital thing and then Sydney flys to Cambodia and they are reunited. Very good movie, but don't see it if you don't like gory movies. And...IT HAD THE SONG NESSUN DORMA IN IT!!! It was so cool!

Ooooh this site is awesome...this person is reciting Latin poetry. I've only listened to the first one (Ovid's Amores). My Latin teacher emailed it to me...it's pretty cool
