the plane scene: The beautiful bride to be.


When I first saw that, I felt sick. She was killed in probably one of the worst way possible, falling thounsands of feet to her death in a jungle, I could think of some other mean of taking her out, but the assassins grab her and toss her from a plane now that is definitely in the top most horrible deaths ever.

Don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings. I'm not going to end this 17 times.

Now here's a thought; how to persuade the other passengers on the 'plane that they saw and heard nothing - and to keep their mouths shut afterwards. Or were they merely flying over a country where such things are accepted as an everyday occurrence?

reply

As far asan tell, there was just her another man (who kicks the doore open) and two pilots, so they were all in on it

Actually, I think it'd be one of the most fun ways to die. I'd be flipping and spinning around until impact. And it would probably a quick death as opposed to say a gun shot wound to the abdomen.

She was a spy. Good riddance. Her actions resulted in the death of patriots at the Bay of Pigs. A roach that got off easy.

You're a despicable, sad excuse of a human being.

That was the only scene which evoked any emotion inside me. Though I just had a hunch as she got on the plane.

Also, I think Edward has her killed. He was a quiet man but when Ulysses asks him if he wants her to be a part of his family, after telling him how she wasn't trustworthy, Edward doesn't say anything. His expression, at least to me, was sort of an agreement.



It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

It is hard to say who ordered the bride killed.

My immediate reaction was that it must have been the Soviets. (because they were afraid she'd help the CIA? or just because she refused to help the KGB any longer?)

But folowing the pattern of the movie, it seems that when Ulyses tried to blackmail Mother over it (threatening to release evidence that Edwarsd's son caused the failure at the Bay of Pigs.) Ulyses was taunting Mother; saying I'll have an asset withing your own family. Mother was forced to get rid of the girl somehow. He probably wasn't involved in the dtails.

The whole pattern of the movie involves the Soviets using women to compromise men who are otherwise "untouchable".

As a former skydiver, I disagree it is a horrible way to die. While it would not be pleasant to be thrown out of a plane against your will (and without a parachute), once you are out you have a nice long freefall, which is an exhilarating feeling, and then die instantly upon hitting the ground.

When you're a skydiver, you know you're not going to die. You have control over it. When you're just thrown out of a plane, you're falling for however much time aware that you're about to be dead. It wouldn't be exhilarating, it would be horrible, especially for someone who had no warning of it, who started her day thinking she was about to get married.

I agree, it was not a nice thing to do to her.

The US has actually done that. They used to throw Viet Cong prisoners out of airplanes or helicopters. Their puppets did it too in El Salvador and Guatemala, with CIA officers present. They'd fly planes or helicopters out over the Pacific and just throw leftists out.

The CIA really is a hideous organization.

Idiot.

Use one of those guns to shoot yourself in the head.

Maybe this has already been answered but why was she killed and who killed her?
