Jason Butler Harner is a top tier actor. Watch Ozarks if you like his work.

[@forgetfulpriestiv14]

Expect he portrayed a botched hanging. The knot breaks your neck and the noose in the movie was made correctly so that prolonged death wouldn't have happened. His neck would have snapped and it would have been instant lights out. If you want to see what a real hanging looks like, go watch the hanging of Saddam Hussein. You will see as soon as they drop they are dead. The way he died in the movie is what would have happened if they didn't make a noose and just tied a rope around his neck. But other then that, your right. His acting was phenomenal

[@Fever_Ghoul]

The real execution took 11 minutes for him to die. His knees gave way and he began to collapse as the executioner pulled the lever to open the doors on the floor. This caused all slack of the rope to be removed and the fall to be too short to cause a break in his neck.

"In the end, Northcott’s bravado failed him. On October 2, 1930, he was led to the gibbet, whimpering and blindfolded because he said he could not stand to view the gallows. He collapsed as he was taken from the death cell and had to be supported by two guards. His final words as the black hood and noose were put over his head were “don’t, don’t.” The last bit of poetic justice came right before the executioner pulled the trap lever. Northcott’s legs gave way and he began to collapse just as the trap sprang. His collapse took the slack out of the rope, and as a result his fall was too short to snap his neck. It took him 11 minutes to strangle to death."

This is a similar case to a hanging that happened in yemen 2003. A little 17 year old girl called Habiba Ibrahim who was convicted of killing a high ranking officer who attempted to rape her. She sentenced hang by her neck until dead. On her execution day, she begged the guards to show her mercy. The guards dragged her from her cell to the gibbet. She was screaming and crying as the guards pushed her up to the noose. It was not clear what her last words were, but it was said as the hood was placed on her head she uttered "Please don't hang me!". When the noose was tied round her neck, she reportedly began singing the Yemeni national anthem, she thought she could save her neck. But her last ditch attempt had failed, she was dropped at 1:05 pm. It was reported the noose was too short and the was only 2 feet. As a result the execution was severely bungled as Habiba struggled against the rope gasping for air. She kicked and writhed in pain for a whole 14 minutes when she finally expired on 1:15 pm. This goes to show how bad dictatorships are.

My mom showed me this movie when I was very young many years ago. It scarred me for many many years. I never found the movie again until today, when I just right now stumbled upon it. Not as scary as it used to be to me, but the fact that it’s based off a true story is still frightening to me.

[@roxanne4820]

This is what murderers and pedophiles deserve... people say "they don't suffer from the death penalty"... no, they live the last moments of their disgusting lives in fear and terror, as all men fear death. Those last moments of psychological torture is punishment that could never be served in a comfortable prison life.

I wondered what was uttered before he went upstairs, after watching this movie for years, i just got what was said. The most chilling words to me of this scene, and the irony in them.... "will it hurt"?? After ravaging the lives of innocent young boys, he asks "will it hurt" . Even if it wasn't actually said by the real Gordon Northcott, this scene is brilliant in the way they portray him.

[@donaldsteven7592]

Yup you could tell he was terrified Sweating it 😳😥 he Soo didn't want to be left Hanging till All the way Dead he was screaming when he drops Awww NOOO 😵 then kicking around gagging mostly Hoping OMG PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME DOWN 😵💀 lol but Noo Sir your Hanging till Dead anyways LOL and he kinda Deserves every second wouldn't you agree?

[@alexf9381]

According to a news article from this time, he actually DID say that in real life. As his hands were being strapped he asked "will it hurt?" He also in real life screamed "please pray for me" just before the drop. Even the "walking fast" part was said in real life as he was being forced up the stairs.

[@smc1942]

The scene depicts a very accurate portrayal of the actual event. Even then, they filmed executions for the record. But these are NOT made public!!! I do wonder if someone got a look at that film. After all, approximately 80 years had passed since the execution. (Just my thoughts.)
