I have a great deal of trouble watching vomit scenes - could someone tell me when this scene happens so I can mute it? I'm pretty sure I read it is one of the scenes in which they go to deliver the news to a family, but if someone could tell me more specifically when I should watch out for it and have the remote ready that'd be great!
shareThey go to a soldiers house to tell his parents about the son being killed and no one is home. They then decided instead of waiting outside they will drive down the street to a grocery store to get something to drink and waste some time. While at the store they hear the clerk mention the name of a customer in line..which happens to be the parents of the slain soldier. Ben Foster then tells the parents that thier son has been killed. As soon as the father hears the news he vomits and breaks down. It's a horrible scene to watch as you can almost see the parents heartbreaking. Great acting for such a small role.
shareThanks so much! I'll mute it when they walk into the store then. :)
That is so sad...
So it's been almost a year. Did you watch the film, and how did you handle the scene?
It seems like vomit scenes are increasingly common in films, and though I find them very unpleasant and often gratuitous, (not in this film, though), I think they can be defended as art.
This was an interesting scene. I'm surprised Harrelson didn't reprimand Foster for informing the parents in a public venue as opposed to their private residence. Wouldn't that be against the notification policy?
shareme too, it seems to be in every movie now
