Dr. James Xavier is a brilliant medical researcher who believes that the human eye detects only a small part of the potentially-visible spectrum of light. He works to expand vision into the ultraviolet and x-ray wavelengths and beyond. His drug, when instilled in the eye, produces not only the desired effect but also allows the subject to see through paper, skin and even walls. Unfortunately the substance is addictive and causes Xavier to become irritable and irrational.

From Quiz The Year of Living Dangerously

Answer: Indonesia

The movie commences with an Australian arriving to a surly reception at the airport immigration desk in Jakarta during the turbulent period of the mid-1960s. One of the key movie locations, the Presidential Palace, was originally the residence of the Dutch Governor-General until Indonesian Independence in 1949. The history of the city dates back to the 4th century AD, when it was a small Hindu village on the banks of the Ciliwung River in north-eastern Java. The Dutch took control of the city in the early 17th century and named it Batavia, where it was the headquarters of the Dutch East India company. This control remained until the Japanese took over during World War II. After World War II, negotiations on independence from Dutch rule lasted four years.

From Quiz The Year of Living Dangerously

Answer: Military Coup

From the beginning of the movie when Hamilton is told by the immigration official that all westerners are now considered enemies in Indonesia and that (President) Sukarno is the voice of the Third World, it is very clear that political tensions are extremely high. He is grudgingly allowed entry. Billy then explains to him some of reasons for the tension including the poverty of most of the population. In early 1965, President Sukarno governed a coalition of communists (the Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI), Islamic groups and the military. Senior military figures were becoming increasingly concerned about the influence of the communists and, in response to a massive PKI rally, staged a military coup on the 30th of September. Several generals were killed. One survivor, senior general Suharto eventually took control and established a government. There were massive reprisals against the PKI with conservative estimates of 500,000 deaths in the subsequent purges. The reporting of these events in the international press was generally brief and subdued. The unfolding chaotic situation formed the powerful background to this movie. The movie's title comes from a quote by President Sukarno in August 1964 that the following year would be 'the year of living dangerously' as he foresaw the political turmoil and violence that would ensue.
