This scene took me completely off guard when I saw this movie. It is still one of the most brutal acts I've ever seen on film. The sound of what happens might be more disturbing than simply witnessing it.

@Jimmy Mcgill As a huge movie fan, I have seen more brutal things in other movies, sure, but I would not at all say most movies are more brutal than this. And given that a decent chunk of this movie is fantasy this scene is especially sudden and brutal.

​@RW-7613 yes it's 1944. I felt the film kind of has a slightly false note at the end with the fascists all defeated when that was not the reality, its just that we always as an audience want to see evil defeated.

Jesus Christ. I completely forgot how brutal this scene is.

Along with Tony Montana's mom "you think you can buy me with jewelry?" scene, this is one of my favourite movie scenes of all times

Even his own two henchmen, themselves brutal murdererers, have a look of resigned disgust on their face at Vidal's boundless twisted sadism. Great movie.

This is just a part of the evil men can do with absolute power

One of the best movies ever

I'm Spanish, so I was curious to see if the movie had been dubbed or broadcast with subtitles. I'm sorry to see that the subtitles fail a lot and there hasn't been a good localization job.

@@user-mo2dt4yq9r I'll give you a couple of examples. "Que te calles, coño" Shut up, damn it would be the closest translation. In its place has been put, "Again, keep quiet." "Así, con dos cojones" Which would be something like, "so don't give a shit" said with vulgar language, it has been translated as "Just like that-how do I you like that? Being a native Spanish or Guillermo del Toro does not allow you to do an acceptable localization job. To begin with, Guillermo del Toro is not Spanish, he is Mexican. Comparing Mexican and Spanish is like comparing a British English with an American English and in reality the difference is bigger. The localization work must be left in the hands of specialists to be done correctly.

He doesn't believe them. He realizes he was wrong at the end and shifts the blame to his officers. I think it's all to show how casually brutal an authoritarian regime is, and how little accountability/regard for life there is in a country under that sort of rule.

The director wrote it in partly because he had witnessed a similar use of a bottle as a weapon in a bar, it is very possible and real. The corner of a bottle is very thick, tough glass.

literally no reason for this movie to be so violent and show the defacing of the poor man, we get it, it's a cruel world, just another stupid reason to feed onto guillermo del toros weird need for this scene Edit: I guess I was pretty angry at Guillermo at this time when first watching the movie, but I think it was just because I was so disgusted at the scene at the time.
