Hmm. Unless the image is somehow reversed (or I'm reversed
), he "stabs" her under her right breast. The heart is positioned middle to left in the chest, which would be on the right side of my screen. He should have stabbed her under her left breast, up and toward the center of her chest to pierce the heart. Well, there is only so much actors can pretend to do here without some serious CGI.
In reality, an executioner stabbing on the right side might actually miss the heart and only puncture a lung. Not a near instantaneous death, as I'm sure was intended by the scene. Or is that what was intended here since the actress was still squirming a lot after being "stabbed."
Still, a good scene.
