When did 'it' happen to Marisa? [SPOILERS!!!]


I don't often post here @ IMDB, so I hope my subject title is okay, without giving away too much spoilers.

But what I actually meant to ask:

At what point did Marisa get brutally murdered (and possibly raped?) and mutilated?

When watching the movie it appeared that Joshua & Vincent were on their "way back home" from their first visit to Nino's mansion... so to me it seemed that Nino already gave orders to one of his soldiers to kill Vincent's (beautiful) wife Marisa.

In my opionion it seems that the scene of "the visit to Nino's mansion" is directly followed by "the killing of Marisa".

Am I right or am I wrong?

If I'm right... which seems a bit unlikely... because, one of Nino's soldiers would have been near Vince's house (sorry, I know, he likes to be called "Vincent" instead of "Vince") the whole time... waiting for Nino's orders to kill or not to kill.

Your thougths please.

You are correct. During the big meeting, Nino's thug, Johnny, was posted outside Vincent's house. Had Vincent agreed to Nino's terms, Marisa would have lived. Since Vincent pissed Nino off, Johnny was given the call from Nino to kill her.

Thanks for the question.

Best,

Thank you so much Eddie! When I checked out other messages regarding this movie I found out you are the story writer. GREAT that you are here in this forum, answering people's questions. It's appreciated!!!

Ontopic: it makes perfect sense what you said here. Nino already explained the "three options" to Vincent... and when Vincent moreless said Nino to *beep* off (regarding blowing up the shark in Jaws, etc.), it was likely that Nino would enforce the "less pleasant option #3" as soon as possible. However, I'm still a bit surprised that Nino gave orders to Johnny (sorry, didn't remember that name) to cut Marisa into pieces. But that's probably how it works in the gangers's world.

Thanks again.
Great movie by the way!
