Funan (2018)

I didn't realize this movie would be a drama, and a particuarly heavy drama. With that being said, it was the first time I Instant Comments:
Lol. This one's going crazy... the movie certainly conveys the sense it's a stressful situation, but this one is buckling before others
What... this kid gets lost cause of some fallen fruit?
Stealing boat... I suppose... if one is desperate to find one's child... but the thing is... there was already a hope/promise. I feel like the negative prospects would have outweighed the positive prospects there (for example, even if they brought him back, it's likely they'd be forced to separate again; how would they be able to prevent such a situation)
I'm curious if I understand how such extreme ideals could wipe away compassion; that is, it is hard to imagine, but it's possible I've committed similar sentiments (the mom asks the "manager" to see Sovahn but is denied)
Did he really reveal his entire stash of valuables?
That's hard to watch. But... I suppose a bit of karma
Little kid smoking a cigarette... brainwashed. This word was used earlier. Perhaps that's the source of lack of compassion I questioned earlier.
Tough call. But I'd say eating to survive...
"Dying without your pity."
"Lili!" Yikes
There were two mounds. Does that mean Lili's mom died too? [Okay, so this was a bit confusing, but in combination with what's written on the Wikipedia page for Funan, it seems that Chou, Hout, Tuch, and Lili are siblings; as such Lili's mom was also Chou's mom]
What about that form of help? Is that not pity? I don't see the mom complaining to be spared in that situation...
Anticlimatic reunion.
I was afraid their kid had been brainwashed and would tell on them or something
Holy moly. Stabbed.
Wow. I'd be on hands and knees over that tree bridge.
Damn. That wind blow. Poetic end.
I didn't understand the Vietnamese involvement mentioned in the end captions ["By the end of 1978, Vietnamese leaders decided to remove the Khmer Rouge-dominated government of Democratic Kampuchea, perceiving it as being pro-Chinese and hostile towards Vietnam."]
