The Look of Silence Page #4
Look in the distance.
- Is it sharper?
- It's sharper.
Are your neighbors afraid of you?
Most people here were communists.
They know...
Because I'm part of a mass movement.
Even if most people here
were communists farmers...
they're scared of me.
- So people here, are afraid of you.
- Yes.
Is this better?
Yes.
If we didn't drink human blood,
we'd go crazy.
Many went crazy.
Is this more clear?
No, it's the same.
- How about this?
- A bit blurry.
Tell me about people going crazy.
Some killed so many people,
they went crazy.
One man climbed a palm tree,
each morning.
to do the call prayer.
He killed too many people...
There's only one way to avoid it:
drink your victim's blood,
or go crazy.
But if you drink blood,
you can do anything!
- How do you feel...
- Both salty and sweet...
Human blood.
- Excuse me?
- Human blood is salty and sweet.
I know from experience...
if you cut off a woman's breast,
it looks like a coconut milk filter.
Full of holes.
There was a communists woman.
She lived with her brother,
but he wasn't communist.
He didn't want to kill his own sister,
so he sent her to me.
- So you...
- Yes, he sent her to me.
Did you cut your victims more than once?
No, only once!
You must not cut humans twice.
Then, why...
did you cut off
the woman's breast?
Why not?
You cut off her breast.
- And then?
- Her throat.
- That's twice.
- It doesn't matter.
If they're
bad people, you can hack them up..
- Who were the communists?
- The Indonesian Communist Party.
You said...
Communist Party members
had no religion.
They had sex with each other's wives.
So people say.
- That's only a rumor.
- They said it themselves!
When we interrogated them.
- But Islam doesn't teach killing.
- No, it doesn't.
He was against killing.
But you're allowed
to kill your enemies.
So you...
Why are you asking these questions?
are you trying to make me angry?
I know what you're doing.
Your questions are to deep.
I don't like deep questions!
I can cancel this!
I don't mind.
You ask much deeper questions
than Joshua ever asked..
I don't like it.
I don't like talking about politics.
- You keep talking about politics!
- I know nothing about politics.
You say that,
but your questions are political!
And I have no more time.
I'm going to the mosque.
I see.
Okay. I will make you glasses.
I know your prescription.
- I'll choose frames that suit you.
- Thank you.
Please make them for reading.
How do you see these events?
It's over.
Everything is safe now.
The past is past.
Luckily I drank blood.
If not, I'd be crazy,
calling to prayer from trees.
