Anyone else DEEPLY disturbed by the bashing of the Japaense guy?


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?

Look, because of the Japs, Donnie had to grow up in a fuxxxckin orphanage. The Americans won the war that the Japs started. Why should Donnie or anyone else have to take of his or her shoes if they don't want to?

This scene reminded me of the somewhat similar scene involving an uppity Korean storekeeper in "Falling Down." Do you know how much money our country has given to these Asian countries?

The Jap in "Donnie Brasco" should have backed off. The customer is always right. And, as Donnie said, we won the war. And the U.S. has given the Japs a lot of money.

I really enjoyed that scene, it was great! The Japanese guy will now learn when to keep his mouth shut.

Nice night for a walk...

not sure if people understand how fragile the human body is. assaults like that could be deadly. or crippling.

No, not really. It's brutal but kind of humorous. Your watching a film about mobsters what do you expect. Worse happens every day in real life.
