It is this narrow, black-and-white view of humanity that has perpetuated a cycle of violence in Cambodia, where raging mobs beat to death robbery suspects and young mistresses suffer acid attacks by jealous wives. To say that Duch is a monster who does not deserve rights ignores the gray area between good and evil, between man and monster, where anything is possible.
正是这样一种对人性的狭隘、非黑即白的观点使柬埔寨陷入了一个暴力循环。愤怒的民众将抢劫嫌疑人殴打致死，年轻的情妇被妒嫉的妻子泼以硫酸。说杜赫是不该享有人权的魔鬼就忽略了善与恶、人与魔之间那片万事皆有可能的灰色地带。
