Killing that Dutch woman is, per Se not a big deal, they've to kill her, may be she deserved it too but I found elements of perversion in her killing, on part of the killers. She was killed very cruelly and painfully, deliberately. In the end, her death was mocked by her killers when they intentionally kept her dead body unrobbed. Dignity of death is missed here, womanhood is insulted, exposing the true identity of her perverted killers.
shareWould I be wrong in pointing out that there are elements of perversion in any killing? The killing of the Dutch woman (played brilliantly by the wonderful and beautiful Marie Jose Croze) was of a different order to the other killings portrayed in this film, in that it was not politically motivated. It was personal, a question of vengenace on the part of the part of the killers. Given that the Dutch woman was a hired assassin who had murdered their friend in cold blood, and might equally have murdered any one - or all - of them given the opportunity, perhaps they could be forgiven for evidencing some satisfaction in settling the score.
Ps. I thought they seemed a bit unsettled by the whole episode, myself.

You clearly live in a world protected by the layers of people who serve and do the dirty work so you dont even have the slightest clue as to what it is. That is fine but don't try and call this "perversion" as all killing is perverted but sometimes neccessary. Revenge is not about killing someone and leaving their dignity intact, they watched her bleed after they hit her with the zip guns. When someone kills your friend or family member you very might well want revenge more than food, water or sleep. Side note: This was not nearly as cruel as what I have seen before both in news, movies and unfortunately personally. I don't know why you watched this movie if you had a problem with one female assasin getting killed off...
shareshe killed one of theirs and left him naked and unrobed. turn about is fair play.
She disrobed herself in thinking the the power of seduction would get her out of her perdicament. unfortunately, it didn't.

On the movie yes. On real life she was killed outside a market I think.
I dont get it. She disrobed herself in a last ditch effort to persuade/distract them with sex and they killed her and left her like that. It wasn't 'perversion' at all.
Now if they all decided to have a circle jerk over her body, well that's something else.
There is no dignity in death
shareGood post. To question the neccessity of killing that woman after all the killing they carried and what she's done, is stupid. But why the perversion, as you put it?

shareShe got what she deserved. She did the same to Carl, with equal lack of dignity and an insult to his manhood. Worse, he was completely unsuspecting and did nothing to provoke her, whereas she had it coming.
shareI think that's part of the point of that scene. The movie raises the questions of morality throughout, but really starts hammering it home in the last half of the movie (increasing in intensity exponentially as the film goes on).
You aren't supposed to like that they left her disrobed. They didn't like it. Remember? One of them re-clothes her, then another exposes the body again. He's so filled with hate and disgust for the woman that he wants her naked and humiliated for killing his friend. His dander is up. Later, after he's had time to reflect on the perversion of his actions, he comments that he wishes he hadn't done that; the guy who disrobed her regretted the action.
That's the point.
