why not just decapitate instead of burying alive?
All Budd had to do is to decapitate her and it's 100% over, there is no coming back from that. Why Budd did bother to bury her?
shareBecause burying someone alive is a far more stressful, more excruciating, more agonizing and drawn-out death than merely decapitating them would be. The point wasn't just to kill her, but to make her suffer.
shareExactly, being buried alive is considered to be one of the cruelest deaths. Slowly suffocating while experiencing extreme claustrophobia, I can't think of a worse way to go.
I'll take Punctuality
Yeah but it is not a guaranteed way to get rid of someone. In this case Budd was stupid. She was trying to kill Budd, so all Budd have to do is kill her when he had the chance.
However, if he had to make her suffer, he could destroy both of her eyes, cut both of her hands and legs before burying her alive. That would eradicate absolute any risk of her coming back. But no, this is movie so Budd can't do that I guess.
Burying someone alive is in most peoples eyes also a guarantee to get rid of someone while also making the person suffer. You would honestly believe that anyone would expect a person to crack open a coffin from the inside six feet under ground and get the fµck up? Then you are being silly. Everything seems obvious in hindsight.
shareWell, someone got shot in the chest by elephant gun and then buried alive, but still got out somehow. Now who is silly? I would just decapitate btw, who cares if she suffers or not. As long as I am guaranteed to be safe, I won't take any chances.
shareAs long as I am guaranteed to be safe, I won't take any chances.Then you better not get out of your house, Captain Hindsight. You might get hit by lightning, shot in the head, or hit by a car. All of these are far more likely to happen than someone buried under ground came back and killed you. In fact decapitation would be a bad idea because you can cut yourself and bleed to death. share
someone got shot in the chest by elephant gun
Ok not only was she not shot in the chest by an elephant gun, she was shot with rock salt, which unlike most shotgun shells, in nonfatal. In Looper, Emily Blunt shoots Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the chest with rock salt and they're able to have a conversation right afterwards. So she can survive that.
And I can't recall ever hearing a true story of somebody digging themselves out of being buried alive, and if there is a recorded event of that ever happening, it's obviously such rare occurance that one could assume it likely wouldn't happen. There was a bigger chance of them getting into a car accident on their way to bury her than she actually had of escaping.
And if you were paying attention to the movie, Elle Driver said she'll buy the sword for the million dollars if Beatrix suffered to her last breath, and Budd, even though he had his personal resentments against his brother, he also had his resentments against Beatrix for breaking his brother's heart.

Do you remember who told you that getting shot in the head kills you? Or did you learn it from a bunch of movies?

So what. Everything you see in the movies isn't true. So many deaths occur because some dumb schmuck saw someone do something in the movies and thought it was perfectly safe.
Love the Zombi 2 pic BTW.

"Is it true that there's a point on a man's head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?"
In heaven everything is fine.
It goes back to his earlier conversation with Bill. He was torn between his love for his brother and sympathy for her, and probably buried her with the flashlight and his own boots containing his knife to give her a possible escape. If you remember, everyone in that group went through the same training.
shareUhh... Where did you get the idea that those were Budd's boots and razor, and that he GAVE them to her? Budd had every intention of killing her in a horrible way, relatively risk-free. He wasn't suicidal. If you watch the movie again, you can see that they're both wearing cowboy boots, and that Budd's boots are lizard or snake, while Elle's are regular leather. Her boots, her razor. Unless you have insider info of some kind?
sharehe could destroy both of her eyes, cut both of her hands and legs before burying her alive
How much thought have you put into this?
I was thinking the same thing. There were easu ways to kill somebody outright but he wanted her to suffering a terrifying death.
And let's admit we were all there with her suffering a little also. It is a scene that really grabs your attention.

>But no, this is movie so Budd can't do that I guess.
Literally the only thing even remotely close to an intelligent thought/statement from the OP in this entire thread. Learn how to watch a movie like a reasonable human being and not a small retarded child.
