I can't think about Nietzsche (dang, that is hard to spell!) anymore without thinking about the movie where the woman was tortured (as a prisoner of war in another country) by the guy that loved to quote Nietzsche. She had never seen his face, but remembered his voice. Then by a twist of fate, her torturer, now defected to America, gave her husband a ride home when his car broke down. She recognized his voice, and the Nietzsche quotes, and proceeded to tie him up and interogate him. In the end she took him to a cliff to push him off, but didn't. However, in all her interogation of him, she shattered the self image he held that he too was a victim of circumstance during that terrible time, and realized that he enjoyed the torture. Afraid of the beast inside himself, he jumped off the cliff.
Anyone remember the name of that movie?
