For instance, the pool cue beating-murder in the movie, "Deep Cover" exceeded in brutality any killing I can recall in a horror movie. As Mr. Appleyard said, the stabbing at the end of Saving Private Ryan (though the storming of Omaha Beach wasn't all that easy to watch either) was ... beautifully brutal? Then a scene you don't really see, but in Scarface, when Al Pacino's 'friend/brother' (I don't remember which) is killed with the chain saw was pretty brutal. I would say the death of John Wayne's character in The Cowboys. It was the first one I thought of when I read the subject. My mother-in- law still hates Bruce Dern for that (yes, she knows it was only a movie, but still, he killed the Duke). I guess I just find beating someone to death to be much more brutal than stabbing, or shooting, or even dismembering. It's so much more personal. Smokie Darling (Annie) |
