Do you think it would hurt? After you get the dramatic fall over do you sort of sit there for a while before dying? "I already got the hype moment, can we wrap this up, please?"
You know you joke but I do recall a genuinely movie moment in a video recording of a Ukrainian and Russian soldier who fought hand to hand with knives and the Russian managed to make lethal attacks on the Ukrainian, and the Ukrainian just said something to the effect of "You win, you win, let me just die in peace" and the Russian just got up and left him. The Russians who saw the video praised the Ukrainian for doing so well, the Ukrainians on the other hand? Got angry at the Ukrainian soldier for losing. I saw the video a few years ago but probably wouldn't be difficult to find; the Russian soldier of a non-white ethnicity saw people were interested in the knife he used so he made a video explaining what it was.
If you look up the video, obviously content warning: it's pretty violent.
I remember that, that was such a raw video. They had both stabbed each other multiple times but eventually the Ukrainian was getting the worse of it, and at the end he was like "ahhhh, fuck, you got me, you’ve poked me full of holes, opened all my arteries, let me die. You got me. You were better, brother"
It's a horrifying video but very primal to see a recording of two warriors fighting for their lives like that
Yeah that video is brutal and it’s from the POV of the guy who lost. I saw a picture of the guy who won reacting to the video of him killing the Ukrainian. His face is the thing that sticks in my memory. His “holy shit is this what I’m seeing” reaction to the screen in his hand.
I should have saved that picture. It was 21st century surreality distilled. Maybe I should start saving these pictures somewhere.
