It's kind of hard to feel guilt over a terrible thing when your entire country insists on praising you for it. And I'm not even talking about "reality TV terrible", I'm talking "genocide terrible". The reality of present day Indonesia makes the wildest and most satirical parts of Network seem tame by comparison. In a matter of seconds this film can swing from hilarious, to heartbreaking, to horrific and back again. The fact that this is a documentary only serves to make the world it depicts even more frightening. Just the tiniest little push and that could be America, France, England, or anywhere. The only thing that keeps me from completely losing faith in humanity is the end of this film.
