zodiac killer killed us with movie



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!!!
