It’s not the first man. It’s the second and third and fourth and fifth; and they all become that first man. And by the fiftieth, and at close range, they all become the same face. When you kill, you kill the same guy over and over and over again.

—Samuel Fuller, quoted in The Typewriter, Rifle, and Movie Camera
