So....most disturbing scene in any movie???
So....most disturbing scene in any movie???
Page:
Jackass: The movie - papercuts between the fingers, toes and even on the nose. That I could not watch.
You'll notice I get ratty as It gets late, that's because me is knackered, thanks to the incompetence of my employers. I'll leave the argument/discussion or whatever it is, because I seem to have veered off from the point of the original post.
Anyway, to the original question, most disturbing scenes, I'd have to pick:
Starship Troopers Odd choice, but there was a scene where the tough, non compromising general guy throws a knife through one of his cadets hands. Because I wasn't expecting it I was a bit shocked, and found myself clutching my own hand in response.
The Thing Not so much the alien, which is scary enough itself, but the noises it makes. They freaked me out the first time I saw the movie, I didn't get a good night sleep that day.
Casino Robert De Niro finds someone cheating in his Casino, so what does he do to dissuade him from doing it again? smashes the guy's hand with a hammer. After watching the movie I decided that even though it was probably unlikely anyway, I'd never rob from a casino, ever.

No, I mean stupid as in "Now your taking the Pi$$". I don't like speilberg when he tries to be a smart ass.

Indeed, casualties where so high because the American commanders sent the "floating Tanks" out too soon and in very bad weather, sinking all but a couple, which lost the troops their armour support, further complications arose when the rocket ships, meant to bomb the beaches in order to create safe craters for the troops to take cover, completely missed their target and hit the water. When the troops finally got to the beach it was a turkey shoot, with one German I think killing more Allied soldiers than any German soldier in the whole war.
The British designed "Flail Tank", a vehicles that was thrown out by the Americans as being an "eccentric British Invention" (that did wonders for the Brits in clearing the mine fields) also meant the US troops had to us "Bangalores" in order the clear the shingles, which was not an easy task considering the poor cover and mounting casualties. Omaha was a co(k up, and due to incompotence by those in charge, it cost many lives.
And also I'd like to point out, yes I can accept not all allied troops where arm to arm, but Spielbarg takes far too many liberties that make Saving Private Ryan feel more like an action movie than an Historical Epic. And if that tank had really been destroyed by that airplane, the explosion would have been allot bigger and would certainly have killed, if not maimed Gump and his buddies.

If by stupid you mean amazing, then I agree with you.

Still a stupid scene as far as I'm concerned.

Well the British used people of counties who were in the Commonwealth, Australians, Indians, Canadians, etc.

Ah, I thought the Canadians assaulted along with the Americans.
And cipro, had you paid attention, Omaha beach was the beach at the start of the film, and, as far as I know, with the exception of less than probably 1-200 people, pretty much everyone died in the first two waves of assault on Omaha, unless I'm mistaken.
