Was it really necessary to show him get shot by Mexicans? I thought that finding out he died at the same time that his wife did sent a much more powerful message.

That was intentional. My interpretation of the movie is that that the audience is like a child that grows throughout the film.

The first death you see is agonizing and seems to last forever. Think of the first death you heard of or even saw. The first time someone close to you died. Each subsequent death loses more and more impact and by the end death is barely worth mentioning.

I hated that movie the first time I watched it and it took watching it a 2nd time and really analyzing it that I understood it and grew to love it.
