I've seen Donnie Brasco probably 10 times and the scene where they bash the Japanese guy in the tiolet of the Japanese restaurant never gets any easier for me. Everytime I mention this to others who have seen this film, I get the impression that nobody else is as affected by the scene as me. Anyone else find that scene DEEPLY disturbing?
shareI enjoyed that scene.

I did, but I found the scene more laughable than disturbing. I found it funny that all the guy wanted is that Donnie gets his shoes off, and those guys beat him up for that.
shareNo, because a) it's just a bunch of actors playing dress-up-and-pretend, and b) in real life it never happened (no mention of it in Pistone''s book).
shareLol, 11 years late to this thread... But, yes sort of! I was wondering if anyone mentioned it on here & looks like you did! I agree it was quite disturbing, & yeah yeah - It's just a movie, it didn't really happen, there are worse scenes out there. But idk, I was sort of shocked, i think mostly because of the dialogue, & much less the violence (i know, how weird lmao), but at the same time, not really, since it was integral to the film in a way.
shareI looked away.
shareNo it is not a disturbing scene. More comical.
shareThe waiter could have avoided it all by just accepting that the customer wanted to keep his shoes on.
