The Kennedy assassination in the movie was pretty intense as well. I remember Dan having some issue with that when he saw it.

I don't think she would have handled the shoe still hanging from the bone very well at all. That was an unexpected adder, but probably a necessary one to make it clear to the viewers who hadn't read the GN.
