“The whole tradition of cinema is dominated, really, by films about good guys versus bad guys, good versus evil. But we have very few films about the nature of evil itself.” WholeFilmGuyEvilTraditionCinemaVersusBad GuysGood GuyNature Of Evil Author:Joshua Oppenheimer
“I've become more forgiving, even though I have no patience at all for denial, justification of wrong, rationalization. I've become virtually a pacifist, so I feel that no atrocity is ever justified. I've become more vigilant about evil. I think I recognize its seeds more quickly. I see its source.” ThinkingEvilForgivingDenialJustificationJustifiedPacifistNo Patience Author:Joshua Oppenheimer
“We lie to ourselves and try to escape that bitter reality by saying that the world is divided into good guys and bad guys, and that we're the good guys. We condemn people as evil to reassure us that we're not like them. If there's to be any hope of preventing these things from happening again, we have to look at the reality. That any act of evil in our history was committed by human beings like us. That, very often, we're all implicated in it.” PeopleWorldTryingRealityLyingGuyEvilCommittedBitterGood Guy Author:Joshua Oppenheimer
