What is the cruelest "twist the knife" move or statement by a villain in a film for you? (dormi.zone)

I'm talking about a moment when a villain has the hero at their mercy and then does a move to really show what an utter bastard they are. There's no shortage of them, but one that really sticks out to me is one line from "Se7en" at the climax from Kevin Spacey as John Doe.

"Oh...he didn't know."

Anyone who's seen "Se7en" will know exactly what I mean. As brutal as that film's outcome is, that just makes it all the worse.

What's your worst?

When Walter White tells Jessie that he could have saved his girlfriend but instead just watched her die.

not really a villain but the elevator scene in Mad Men where Don Draper says "I don't even think about you"

Could've walter saved her tho ? Like he had no equipment or anything and she and jesse was unconscius and she died in the span of two minutes. But yeah walter is an asshole but i slways interepted that seen as him being a real asshole and twistimg the truth slightly to hurt jesse

Yes, he absolutely could. She had a gag reflex and was choking, clearing her airway would likely save her, and he actively chose not to. Calling an ambulance about an opiate OD and possibly some breathing assistance would give her a good shot at survival.

Yea it could've worked i agree

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Roll her over clear the airway

It could work but there is no promise (i am not a medic and could be wrong) .

She choked on her own vomit because she was on her back, he could've just rolled her onto her side and patted her back, and her chance of survival would've skyrocketed lol

As i said i am not a medic dude but i have watched some people die and even tho people are there no one was able to help them
