Her expression isn’t one of horror, but of desperate, silent love. In a deeply problematic way, the film positions the woman as the . She doesn’t stop the violence; she validates it by loving the perpetrator. This reflects a troubling but real trope in mass cinema: the woman’s love is the hero’s trophy and his alibi for brutality.
