    Do evil in the name of the country, hide in government machinery to dissolve personal crimes, complacent with the dehumanizing interpretation of humanity, and have no regrets because of the belief in the disciplined "belief". There are individuals who live in daily life. In the massacre, the meaning of "human" was lost, and it was reduced to cold data. I used the hands of "people" to get rid of opposing voices. Such a face and so familiarity; people who face history are fearless and brave, and...

    Escape from flashing gazes, triumphant smiles, plausible excuses, straightforward threats, unconvincing lies, they are historical sinners, but they have no reflection, no remorse, and no trial. How to feel desperate for a country? A string of anonymity in the end of the...

    "Statue of Silence"

    The old things are brought up again, where does the injury go?

    There was "Deduction of Killing" before, and "The Statue of Silence" after that. Joshua Oppenheimer brought up some old things that he couldn't bear to look back again, but found that the pain was unattached. People said that the past is over and it is impossible to commit.

The Look of Silence quotes

  • Joshua Oppenheimer: What support did you have from the Army?

    Amir Hasan - Former Leader of Death Squad: They waited at the road with the truck. They didn't come down here. They never came down here. They called this, 'The People's Struggle.' So, they kept their distance. If the Army was seen doing this, the world would be angry. 'The Army is killing Communists!' So, to protect their image they made it look like the people exterminated the Communists. But everybody knows the Army was behind it.

  • Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Tell me about that madness.

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Some killed so many people who have gone mad. A man climbed a palm tree, every morning, to call for prayer. Killed too many people. There is only one way to avoid it. Drink the blood or go crazy. But if you drink blood, you can do anything.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: [Testing the eyeglasses] What do you think...

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Salty and sweet. The human blood.

    Himself, brother of murdered Ramli Rukun: Pardon?

    Himself, former leader the village death squad: Human blood is salty and sweet. I know from experience.
