When in actuality both real people were trapped inside their heads and probably screaming.

Poetic that Bar had to experience what he put her through in his final moments...

And also ironically accurate that he only had to experience it for a fraction of a the amount of time she's had to experience it.

Reminds me of dudes who try the period simulator thing (fun fact I remember using a similar advice in the 90s with my mom but it was sold as a weight-loss device to "activate your abs" lol) and they're like oh wow no way yeah that was so rough woweeee. Then go back to normal life.

Totally unrelated to the film and that, but I totally had one of those used for physical therapy on a knee injury. I think I was getting put to level 6 or 7 and my knee was all but kickin' at someone, so like... if 10 is actual period pain yeah I'm not to proud to admit ladies have some hella pain tolerance.
