一边下令扫射一边进行微小的人道主义救援,这样就能在战争中做到冷酷与怜悯的一统吗?

直升机上:DEATH FROM ABOVE

人性是?

跑来一个越南女人草帽里藏着手雷,杀光货船的人发现一只小狗,一串串黄灯、炮火加上配乐让战场成为奇幻的merry-go-round,没听完的录音带谈着未来的幻想,美法餐桌上的阳光随着人离场而褪去,将中了“玩具箭”的船长埋葬于河水之间,部落人对外来人目不转睛的凝视,光打在王者的头上像月缺,打过疫苗的断臂给予启示,脱离判断的原始本能被认为是更高一等的存在,屠牛一样屠人,满面污浊继承神(?)的意志。

那么,人性是?

Horribly beautiful merry-go-round

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. ”

文件上手写的字:Drop the bomb exterminate them all!

摄影师:“辩证物理学,辩证逻辑认为非爱即恨,你要么爱人,要么恨人。”

库尔兹:“蠢货!”

摄影师:“这就是这该死的世界结束的方式。Not with a bang. A whimper.”

库尔兹念的诗:

【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.
