Ciel rouge (2017)
disgusting whitewashing of French colonial history
80 years of colonialism, people dying and suffering, and this is the piece of crap they come up with. It's like a Nazi concentration camp overseer snatching one Jewish girl and then falling in love with her whilst fleeing, like it's so beautiful that a guy that was in it to kill your people was benevolent enough to want to have sex with you and then run off with you while your family gets eradicated. White men like Olivier Lorelle are just disgusting. They don't get it. They will never. I'm so done with this crap. One of the worst tragedies of my country and they make a glorified porn out of it.
This movie spits on the graves of Khmer / Viet / Lao soldiers/people who for many years fought hard and won a hard earned independence.
Western colonialism never ended. Long after they "leave" your country, they'll still make a mockery of you with movies like this and treat you like subhuman trash. And the local populace will eat it up, because they've been so inundated and brainwashed with propaganda that they don't even know any better.
It is a form of highly effective psychological warfare. We don't see them in our history as rapists and murders. We don't see them as terrorists. We see them as James Bond, Jason Bourne, Captain America, and now Philippe.
