The Look of Silence	comment	The Look of Silence (Indonesian: Senyap, "Quiet") is a 2014 documentary directed by Joshua Oppenheimer as a companion piece to The Act of Killing.When the government of Indonesia was overthrown by the military in 1965, numerous paramilitary organisations around the country were mobilised as death squads to wipe out the communists and their political affiliates. One of the victims was a man named Ramli, a farmers' union member in the province of North Sumatra. Ramli's murderers and their ilks would allegedly kill over a million people all over the country, enjoying ties to the military-political elite to the present day while keeping their victims' relatives in terrified silence.Born shortly after the violence, Adi Rukun never knew his older brother. He lives in the city as a travelling optometrist, alongside the aging men who had once murdered Ramli and thousands of others in cold blood. After decades of silence, he finally decides to look for Ramli's killers and confront them with their past deeds.The documentary and its companion piece The Act of Killing can be viewed on YouTube, albeit only with Indonesian subtitles.note Most of the movie's dialogue is either in a thick North Sumatran dialect or the Javanese language, making it tricky to understand even for native speakers..

Not only was her son "disappeared" one night, but he actually escaped and came home covered in wounds. This is horrific enough, but it proved to be a cruel Hope Spot, because the next morning, the death squads managed to find him again and dragged him off, promising to take him to the hospital. That was the last time she ever saw him. After this, she is forced to live next to the men who did it for the rest of her life, powerless to do anything but wish for them and their children to burn in hell.

The Look of Silence / int_7f080f98	comment	Vague Age: Adi's father's ID card claims that he was born in 1906, which would mean he'd be 108 years old as of the filming of the documentary. While he does look pretty damn ancient and clearly isn't in good health, it seems a little incongruous with Adi only being in his early 40's, as his father would have to have been nearly 60 when he was born. While that's certainly not impossible, the fact that Adi's mother is also quite old makes it seem like they'd had to have had him right when she was on the verge of menopause (her birthdate is never given, so it could be there was a bigger gap in their ages when they married than what's obvious). Adi's mother expresses doubt that 1906 is her husband's actual birthdate but the matter is never resolved one way or the other.
