I agree with you completely. I truly believe it was about tragedy of all characters including Rossi. And that's why I believe the mutilation scene was shot the way it was. To get across the roots of the tragedy. I have to confess I'm fairly young and from Europe and I only know facts from my history lessons and what I've gathered from other sources. While intellectually I knew how it was back then, the mutilation scene brought across the issue on a different level. It could be said that it was overdone but I don't agree. I think it needed to be done that way because at least for me it gave the opportunity to see and thus kind of participate in the experience of that tragedy.
