Ben Kingsley in An Ordinary Man (2017)

Quotes

An Ordinary Man

Edit
  • The General: Quite a pair, aren't we? I can't keep a relationship, you're too scared to have one.
  • The General: Do you know how long it's been since a young woman invited me into her apartment?
  • Tanja: I didn't invite you.
  • The General: I'm not really here. At this very moment, I'm hidden in a mountain barracks. I'm skiing in northern Slovenia. I'm sunning myself on the Dalmatian Coast. I'm tending sheep on a Serbian mountaintop. I'm toasting with Putin in Kiev and in Moscow; friend of a friend swears he saw me. I'm everywhere and nowhere. I am myth.
  • Tanja: [busts into the door holding a gun]
  • The General: Gentlemen, my maid.
  • Title Card: The former Yugoslavia
  • Title Card: The fall of Communism brings long suppressed ethnic, religious, and regional rivalries exploding to life, splintering a once unified people.
  • Title Card: In the wars that follow, crimes against humanity include ethnic cleansing, torture, systematic rape and mass murder.
  • Title Card: Of the war criminals charged by an international tribunal, many elude capture and live as fugitives for years.
  • Title Card: Eventually all are caught and brought to justice...
  • Title Card: ...all except one.
  • [first lines]
  • The General: [narrating] I was always inclined to be an ordinary man.
  • The General: [standing in the market berating the produce] You're drowning them. You know that? By tomorrow, beauty will become shite. Aaah! You should give these away. Where is your shame? Eh? Veggie-killer.
