一邊下令掃射一邊進行微小的人道主義救援，這樣就能在戰争中做到冷酷與憐憫的一統嗎？
...人性是？
跑來一個越南女人草帽裡藏着手雷，殺光貨船的人發現一隻小狗，一串串黃燈、炮火加上配樂讓戰場成為奇幻的merry-go-round，沒聽完的錄音帶談着未來的幻想，美法餐桌上的陽光随着人離場而褪去，将中了“玩具箭”的船長埋葬于河水之間，部落人對外來人目不轉睛的凝視，光打在王者的頭上像月缺，打過疫苗的斷臂給予啟示，脫離判斷的原始本能被認為是更高一等的存在，屠牛一樣屠人，滿面污濁繼承神(?)的意志。
那麼，人性是？
...The horror. The horror.
“Horror has a face. And you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. True enemies. ”
...攝影師：“辯證物理學，辯證邏輯認為非愛即恨，你要麼愛人，要麼恨人。”
庫爾茲：“蠢貨！”
攝影師：“這就是這該死的世界結束的方式。Not with a bang. A whimper.”
...庫爾茲念的詩：
【The Hollow Men】by T.S Eilot
“Mistah Kurtz- he dead.
A penny for the Old Guy ”
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices，when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form，shade without colour,
Paralysed force，gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes，to death's other Kingdom
Remember us - if at all - not as lost
Violent souls，but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
