The Act of Killing

[Cain]

He may never have verbally justified himself, but I think you'll find if you look at the films and scenarios he chooses, that this is quite revealing.  (Also consider the cultural aspect.  I don't know much about Indonesian culture and I would guess most people here don't. That lack of familiarity can strongly affect how non-verbal cues are processed).

It's a common human trait to see yourself as both the center of the story and the hero.  Very few people are able to look past those filters...especially with that amount of blood on them.

Obviously, I'm no expert but the film choices and scenarios seemed to be more based around "What does Anwar remember being really cool in Hollywood films?" Many of his killing methods were reputedly taken from films which adds actually adds an interesting layer to the violence in Hollywood debate. If people in other countries emulate your graphic murder methods, to what degree, if any, are you responsible?

I fully appreciate the non-verbal cues thing, but there's some that just go past cultures to some degree. I may have misinterpreted some, but there's just too many and the emotion is often obvious.

I suspect Anwar to be a man who picked up the uniform of "Gangster" early from films (To begin with he was a "Movie gangster, selling black market movie tickets to the public) and had this view re-enforced over several years of murder.

If I could tempt you into watching/reviewing, I think you'd pull a lot more out of it than I have.

Well, you're certainly responsible to the extent that you support the killing, which the US did.
