I find this deeply disturbing and wish I had not seen it. Not sure why exactly in terms of underlying ethics but there is a sharp reason somewhere in there that tingles at my intuition.

That's "The Martyrdom of Saint Vitus." If it makes you feel better, he survives this as well as many other tortures. His associates, the two mourners, are Modestus and Crecentia.

Oh, my first thought was cremation. Makes more sense, as the guy doesn't look very dead.

We seem to have some basic instincts that prevent us from doing harm to other humans even if we don't know them.

Military and fascists have to go to extreme lengths to de-hunanize their opponents so their pawns inflict maximum damage regardless of instincts.

In the same way that nature documentaries do all they can to anthromopo.... ahh I don't have a dictionary, I mean assign human traits to non-human animals so we feel extra sad or happy for them.
