The second half of the film seems to have little to do with the Zodiac. It is not so much that these policemen, reporters, and cartoonists are solving the case, as it is to express the impact of a serial homicide that has been pending for more than 20 years on the lives and lives of several people with different occupations and backgrounds in this society. Some of them have lost their families, a peaceful family life, and some even lost their health and normal lives.
We need to know that in a country with highly developed economy and civilization, a case like the "Zodiac" lasted for more than 20 years without being solved, and how much impact it has on this society and the people living around it . This is not just a matter of tracking down the murderer after a few people have died. This case is always testing people's nerves and exhausting many people. I believe that David Fincher’s original intention for making this movie is not only to restore the "Zodiac" case and the murderer's crazy and strange killing methods, but behind it is to trace back the "Zodiac" murder case. Several people have waited for the trajectory of their lives changed in the past two decades due to the occurrence of this murder.
To be honest, I don’t think many people have criticized the movie’s slow pace. "Zodiac" is not strictly a serial homicide movie. It is necessary to respect the track of facts and intersperse other plots. It's normal.
To make a digression, there are still a few of these people in society who can really sit down and calmly watch a two-hour movie. Don't blame the impetuosity of your heart on the movie.
