Zodiac the killer killed us with the movie
During the vacations when once few of my classmates thought of meeting
at the college for spending some time. While chatting outside the
canteen we thought of going for a movie. One name that everyone
thought it would be interesting was ZODIAC.
So after everyone finished with their respective work. We headed to
Cinemax versova. Because of the usual late thinking of gurls for
checking out the restroom, we missed our bus. Traveling via rick and
fighting for space in the overcrowded train we reached the
destination. We got the tickets without any hassle even after the show
had started. Thought that it must be second week of the movie hence
there was loads of space.
The movie story line goes something like this. A serial killer who of
course had some psychological problem called himself zodiac. The
Zodiac coined his name in a series of taunting letters he sent to the
press until 1974. His letters included four cryptograms (or ciphers),
three of which have yet to be solved. His murders started in late
1960's in San Fransisco. Few murders were shown like couple at Lake
Berryessa, taxi driver et al. Then how SYPD starts investigation?
Chronicle(news paper) reporters and a cartoonist's intervention in the
case. Geologically separated police departments fight for getting the
evidence and proof since murders were on the border of certain
territory. After murders, zodiac use to call police to admit them or
send letters to the chronicle. Then there came many victms and
suspects but zodiac remained unknown. Robert researched after the case
became inactive and wrote an entire book on Zodiac.
The entire thing was so messy, the names, the timeline which they
showed, the explanation people give was not properly understood.
Everyone in my group was bored. The subject had become too serious and
then I realized though the above story seems interesting why we got
tickets so easily for the evening show.
The best part was first year which they showed was 1968 and then they
reached to late 90's and enters 2002. But still Zodiac wasn't reveled.
Then was the funniest part the director gives a message and says the
case is still open but the letters stopped coming. Few suspects were
also shown and how the life of people continues was written. Then we
realize that this was the end. And thus the suspense remains suspense.
One thing that came in my mind was WHAT THE FCUK?? We sat there for 2
hours 40 mins to find out the criminal wasn't caught!!!
