After so many years after the tragedy, the protagonist wants to escape his sins by shooting a movie. First of all, he still thinks his actions are evil compared to the protagonist's friend, and his friend still lives his own life in what he thinks is justice. Safe life. But how could such a sin be easily redeemed by making a movie? What impressed me is that he said to Joshua after finishing the film, I was enveloped in horror in the film, I felt the feeling of being executed by me, Joshua said you didn't, you were just waiting for the director to call cut, The people whose lives you have taken away are waiting for the end of their lives. Just like the movie's name-killing interpretation, in this country I don't seem to be developed, such evil can be played out, and in the society we live in, so much evil is whitewashed that we can't distinguish evil at all, and It's all evil, isn't it?

    The documentary is still behind the scenes. I really can't watch it.

The Act of Killing quotes

  • Adi Zulkadry - Fellow Executioner in 1965: We crushed their necks with wood. We hung them. We strangled them with wire. We cut off their heads. We ran them over with cars. We were allowed to do it. And, the proof is we murdered people and were never punished. The people we killed, there's nothing to be done about it. They have to accept it. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better, but it works: I've never felt guilty, never been depressed, never had nightmares.

  • Anwar Congo: Did the people I tortured feel the way I do here? I can feel what the people I tortured felt. Because here my dignity has been destroyed, and then fear come, right there and then. All the terror suddenly possessed my body. It surrounded me, and possessed me.

    Joshua Oppenheimer: Actually, the people you tortured felt far worse, because you knew it's only a film. They knew they were being killed.

    Anwar Congo: But I can feel it, Josh. Really, I feel it. Or have I sinned. I did this to so many people, Josh. Is it all coming back to me? I really hope it won't. I don't want it to, Josh.
