Captain Vidal perfectly embodies the evil side, scares his human monstrosity much more than the rest of the beings that populate history, Vidal does not hesitate to use cruel procedures to carry out brutal torture to achieve his goal (such as the sequence in the disfiguring a hare hunter with a bottle). His arrogance and military pride end up shaping this character that it is not easy to get rid of after finishing watching the film, the film by Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro has managed to portray as few times that essence mixture of fear and harshness that the character instills.
Sounds strong but not really true. A fireman can also die during his job trying to save other lives for example. Isn't neither decent dying while playing with your grandson? You know what film came to my mind. I mean, there definitely are other honorable or sweeter ways to leave the world behind.
The only person who would say that is someone who's never been in battle. Writhing on the ground in agony with your guts hanging out screaming for your mama like a 5 year old isn't exactly decent. Dying peacefully in the comfort of your home surrounded by loved ones is decent.
I disagree, but as long as you die the way you want, then you've died a decent way. However, I prefer to dismiss the entire notion or idea of "A decent way of dying". Dying is the ultimate failure, that is in unavoidable, there isn't anything decent about that, in my perspective.
