| Resumo: | The article presents the philosophical approaches between the figures of Eichmann, based on Arendt's reports, and Duch from archival research and, above all, the footage created by Panh. It's the concept of the banality of evil that we choose to present in the first part of the essay, seeking to point out the issues of a modus operandi that crosses these two perpetrators in the machination of the respective exterminations in which they participated. In the second part, the text focuses on analyzing the documentary Duch, the master of the forges of hell, reflecting on how this film becomes a way of revealing the secrets of the Khmer Rouge perpetrator. |
