Eight terrible head injuries in the crime film ‹Crimereads

Two weeks ago I suffered two back-to-back brain conceals in the frontal lobe of my brain. I took care of the work to take over, but I don't have much to say. This is because I was passed out almost all the time. The sleep, I was told by the doctors, was the safest way to ensure quick and permanent recovery. So I slept. I took melatonin rubbers and fish oil capsules and then slept and woke up and did everything again. Occasionally I would eat. I went for a walk once or twice. But sleep was preferable … and not just because it is guaranteed to be normal again as soon as possible in normal. But also because I was extremely bored.

The thing with a concussion is that you cannot tax your brain in any way while it is healing. Surfing a brain is essentially a blood bruise, the result of your brain in your own skull in moments scolding extreme effects or absurd. You cannot burden your eyesight so that it does not slowly recover. Bright lights and focused observations will only get things going. So, no screen time, no reading, no writing … not even, the doctor told me. Think too much.

That was shocking. A doctor had never campaigned for “not to think”. Nobody had before. I don't spend my time to brothers with chauvinistic villains from the Disney film. How would I be without being able think?

I tried to consider these warnings as much as possible, but some of them, like them, led to further questions. Occasionally I sneaked at my computer. I knew I shouldn't, but I had to. And when I opened my laptop, I wanted to learn something about concussion. I learned from the Oxford English Dictionary online that the word “concealment of the brain” in its importance of “The Schock of Impact” decreases at least in 1490 and the word in its importance of “brain injury caused by a sudden impact” would decrease.

I learned from the writer Roger von Oech, the author of A whack on the side of the headThat there are two types of thinking: soft and hard. Soft thinking is light, observing, dreamy. Hard thinking is problem solving. If I got a lot of sleep in the first few days of my brain concealment, my doctor said I could return soft I think early enough. That was horrific. “But” I tried to argue with my doctor. “I am a Writer.” He looked at me. “Not now.”

So sleep became more pleasant than lying awake and being aware of what was missing me, and yet bound to think about it. I slept properly.

And now I'm back. Mostly. I still have to rest a lot. But I blown soft thinking of hard. And the first thing I did was to use my largely revered skills to put together a list of the only topic in my head since I went into this scaffolding: head injuries.

Yes, this is a list of the most intense head injuries in the (crime) film.

Now I should make it clear … I'm not talking about cases and aftermath of heavy head trauma as in Memory or The Bourne identity or With regard to Henry or The wizard of OZ. This is not a list of hallucinations, amnesian episodes or other brain conditions that are brought to the head by hits. I simply speak of blows or knock on the head: on camera instances where “hit in the head” that are so painful that they are no different than united when they observe them. Like this list, but not specifically about noses. All over the head.

I don't mean, like wild explosions or explosions. This is not a list The omen Or a sequence of a Matthew Vaughn film. I am also not including moments when someone smashes theirs own Go to a table. NO Talk to me NO Longlegs, not * this * scene of Fight club, NO Hereditary, NO The lobster. I mean, that also illustrates what we do about genre: this is not a list of horror films; It is a list of crime films (or crime adjazentem) films. I would Love Include the scene of Chocolate Where Lena Olin Peter Stormare's head smashed with a frying pan when he and Julia Binoche attacks her and Julia Binoche in a violent, alcoholic anger (“Who says I can't use a pan?”), But it's not a crime film. I Am However, allow action adventure films and science fiction adventure films on this list. No boxing films unless it's about crimes.

Now … Do we insert head injuries that kill? If it were a crime film, we would then involve Dolph Lungren's left hooks that makes Apollo Creed in killing Rocky IV? I don't believe. I think people have to be able to wake up and go away at some point?

This list is only moments of blunt force trauma to the skull! This is all it is!

This list is not classified. It is not comprehensive.

And if it contains gaping holes in this list, don't be angry with me … I have a concussion.

Ok, here we go:

Henry Cavill shattered Liang Yang's face with a laptop in Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)

He breaks the computer … but he strikes the guy. It turned out that they needed this computer to make a mask out of the man's face … So Tom Cruise is pretty annoyed.

John Waynes “How late is it?” Door dance The quiet man (1952)

Is The quiet man A crime film? No, it is About trade fair battle? Yes! So it gets a passport. Welcome to the ring, TQM. The quiet man It's about a boxer who kills a man in the ring and then goes to his home in Ireland to buy back the property of his family and live there in peace. But things are twisting when it turns out that another man has designs in the country … and John Wayne begins a romance with the sister of this man. Anyway, there is a scene in which John Wayne crouches a man in the jaw so violently that he flies through a closed wooden door, in the Looney tunes style.

Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci are raged by swinging color cans Home alone (1990)

I can't imagine how pain from Harry and Marv during the quite Booby Trap slump sequence, but I really don't envy that they are clocked by the swinging color cans in the head.

Indiana Jones hits the Nazi from the blimp in Indiana Jones and the last crusade (1989)

You know the scene, I mean: “No ticket!”

A blow makes Michael Biehn flies in The abyss (1989)

God, I love The abyss. I don't want to spoil anything about it, so I will only say that there is a part where Michael Biehn's villain, Lt. Coffey (who is going crazy because of a high-pressure nervous house, is not in the height of so much height) tried to kill our hero Ed Harris, but he stopped from Leo Burmeister's Catfish de Vries. And Wels taps him so much in the face that he flies through the air and ends up in a puddle, his body makes an enormous splash. That has to hurt.

Rip Torn meets Norman Mailer on the head with a hammer in Maidstone (1970)

Norman Mailers underground film Maidstone Was a subversive, not described fiction emotional film that was conquered a chauvinistic filmmaker named Norman T. Kingsley, who has an exploitation film about a brothel that at the same time survives a presidential run and survives on his rural New York site. Rip Torn, who plays Kingsley's brother, tries to kill him in the end by hitting him over his head with a hammer. This was the least written part of a film that has not already been described; Torn thought that Maidstone I hadn't planned a clear end, so he thought he would do one. He did this by literally strucking Mailer with a hammer over his head. Some sources say online that it was a toy hammer, but I spoke to people there, and no … it was real what made this the only film on the list in which the head dream experienced in a story is supported by the actors. Speaking of hammers, there is an amazing corridor combat sequence in Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy (2003), but there is no one A certain watch in the head, which is so bad, should go to this list.

Ed Norton ruins Jared Leto's face in Combat club (2000)

I definitely think that the scene “something nice” of “destroy Combat club counts for this list. Most of Combat club counts for this list. But the Leto face mutilation scene is definitely the worst head trauma we see.

Joe Pantoliano's steel beam into the head in The refugee (1993)

The refugee Usually all of my lists lead, and that's no exception. Towards the end of the film there is an excruciatingly painfully arriving head injury if the Marshall Cosmo Renfro (present) of us)Joe Pantoliano) Looking for a murderer in a dark industrial soil of a hotel, the washroom. The murderer sneaks behind him and swings a floating metal carrier in the face and immediately puts it down. His last words in the film talk about his pain and exhaustion: “Say Samuel Gerard that I'm going home now. I'm going to go on my vacation.”
