Stupidest reaction ever


The nerdy righteous guy from the band, he is deep in the countryside in the middle of nowhere, just went on stage in front of agitated drunk neo-nazis and seemingly rather hardcore individuals; goes in the green room, sees a dead girl with a knife right through her skull in a room full of neo-nazis, and takes his phone out in front of them trying to call the cops, come on...

other than that i really loved this movie, gave it 9/10.

he was asked to call them

OP's point is to wait until they are outside to call the cops.

had the girl gone back in (for her phone) she'd probably have played it off but the "righteous guy" was only doing what was asked of him in that moment by a person in the group standing around the body. it'd have been no fun if he'd left the room to call

reply

And he thought that the skinheads that stabbed her in the head were going to stand there letting him to call the cops?! It was a stupid move, dude

reply

even dumber was him sticking his arm out the room

I was willing to take out my "what I would've done" thoughts due to these people POSING as tough folk through their "music," now being faced with the REAL way deranged, violent people think (if you can call it that).

He had no way of knowing that the perp was still in the room, comforted by other band members because he "did her" (his words later) out of love for his jilted friend. "Worm" was the calmest-acting person in that group.

Also, the hand-out-the-door ploy was in terms of Anton's fear overriding his sense. He wanted to believe Patrick Stewart was as reasonable and peace-seeking as his words... sort of like people today believing psychotic politicians that they really don't want war. "They" think way differently from normal folk. "They" realize it, but most of "us" can't imagine the full scope of their derangement.

So, though I'd like to think I'd have better ideas, who knows how we'll act under such pressure and risk? Normal folk committed all kinds of atrocities in WWII Germany and more modern conflicts. My Lai, anyone?
