Nope, 15 odd years later and still don't know why. What was the pretentious lesson Liam Neeson was trying to teach a young Leonardo DiCaprio?

You’d think a butcher would be more sanitary

 Same reason Monk notches his cudgel. Walter 'Monk' McGinn : I've got forty-four notches on my club. Do you know what they're for? They're to remind me what I owe God when I die. My father was killed in battle, too. In Ireland, in the streets, fighting those who would take as their privilege what could only be got and held by the decimation of a race. That war is a thousand years old and more. We never expected it to follow us here. It didn't. It was waiting for us when we landed. Your father tried to carve out a corner of this land for his tribe. That was him, that was his dead rabbits. I often wondered... if he had lived a bit longer, would he have wanted a bit more? Remorse for the inescapability of the cycle of violence and revenge. He knew he would likely die that day and foisted that burden onto his son. (Also telling him to never look away as he was dying) |

Same principle as "out, out damn spot!" where Lady McBeth couldn't get the blood off her hands.

Zack Snyder is writing. Oh, that only works if it's Wonder Woman's outfit.

Couldn't he just have explained that instead of a cryptic metaphor?
And on a similar note, in the dungeon and dragons 80s cartoon, why did dungeon master have to be such a dick when helping the kids get home?

Is the metaphor really that cryptic? Seems pretty straightforward--once you have blood on your hands, you always do.

I can forgive all of the flaws of that movie, even Cameron Diaz, for Daniel Day Lewis's performance as Bill the Butcher. |
