I was seriously disturbed by the (SPOILER)


dissection scene. People seem to have a lot of strong opinions about this movie, both negative and positive. I am in agreement with many, but regardless of those issues I think I might not ever forget the awful surgical scene where the doctor is taking out the poor blonde girl's organs. And she is AWAKE. He doesn't even have the compassion to put her completely under. So she's drugged up but still awake and aware of what is happening, and the way she was sort of writhing and moaning in subtle pain. And the whole time her friend is watching knowing that is his fate. That was the single most disturbing and awful part of this movie. All I could think was oh my god she is awake and can feel this, and at what point does she stop feeling it and mercifully pass out or die? He took out her kidneys and her liver and she was still moaning in pain. WTF?

Very disturbing. I need to scrub that scene out of my brain.

I was too angry because of the inaccuracies about the entire procedure. Nothing about what that doctor did was medically or surgically correct, and I was too angry to be bothered about anything else :P
