2. What movie is this quote from?
"In a war there are many moments for
compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action - what
is often called ruthless - what may in many circumstances be only clarity,
seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it, directly, quickly, awake,
looking at it"

ReplyDelete3. The Tin Drum
Too bad Grass didn't write a war novel on his own experiences. it would have been a lot better than The Tin Drum. He did write it as part of a nonfiction book a few years before his death, after spending six decades lecturing his fellow countrymen for not facing up to their own past.
2. Apocalypse Now ;)
