沒有旁白的話, 整部片子會顯得有點悶, 還有某些劇情轉折會比較模糊.
另外, 這些旁白有些還寫得不錯, 尤其是魯格豪爾死後, 哈里遜福特的旁白是一段經典.....

" I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life, anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die. "
