“I think fundamentally, I had to make a decision really on whether this...” — Joshua Oppenheimer Quote

“I think fundamentally, I had to make a decision really on whether this was a film about the past or the present. And 'The Act Of Killing' is a film about the present.”

“From 2005 to 2010, I was exclusively shooting 'The Act of Killing' and then editing it.”

“'The Act of Killing' helped catalyze this basic transformation in how the media talks about the past.”

“I won't say doing 'Jai Ho' was a wrong decision. People said I was camera-friendly and the film had some truly big names.”

“Today is the day of decision.”

“I drove to Nashville a few times, met with some people and hung out, went to the Opry, and that kind of stuff. I made the decision - you've got to be present to win, so I packed it up and moved out here, and it's been great. It's been the best decision I ever made.”
