The documentary shows us all the attitudes of all living beings, justice police officers, high-spirited female prosecutors, lawyers with superb methods but may not know the truth, mysterious family of tycoons, forgotten ordinary families, lonely weird neighbors, and charismatic writers. , And of course the production team who worked tirelessly to shoot the jinx. But only one person is depicted in the most three-dimensional, Robert Dusrt.
Someone mentioned that when the director threw a key note to him at the end, his hands trembled badly. Why? Because the situation at the time was not like Batman fighting bad guys to punish evil and promote good. It was not the sentence He deserves it or So fuck him in Rust. The director faced a living person, a person who had always used his ordinary social identity to communicate. People, not a purely evil intention and assembly. There are more or less pressures and checks and balances between people, and in this case, the pressure of the director can be imagined.
But he shouldn't be nervous, because it's Bob who is nervous, hiccups and hesitates, not like we and the director are worried about what this murderur will explode. He killed someone, he was the one with a guilty conscience.
Rob is very smart. When he talks about something, he always avoids discussing it from his own point of view. Instead, he uses the most objective and rational point of view to describe it. When the director shows him the most important note, he said If you give this thing to the police, they will make good use of it to deal with me. He doesn't talk about it from his own point of view, because his speech is already impenetrable. When he was muttering to the radio for the first time, he repeatedly said that I didn't deliberately lie, I just didn't tell all the facts, no one would tell all the facts. He was typing a draft of a sentence he didn't know when he would express it, and it was still a fact.
Some people say that this piece is reminiscent of Cage's 8mm. Those anti-human criminals have families, good relatives, and a decent life, but they just want something to satisfy their perverted desires. I think what’s more shocking about this film is that Bob may not even be so perverted. He has a wife and friends. He will mention what happened on the way when he talks, and it is this man who killed his wife, friend, The neighbor even mutilated the body, and the wife's disposal was never known. We don't know what happened in those times, the devil has the upper hand.
His mother's heart trembled when he fell from the house, because we all know that Little Bob's memory was "Happy, happy, happy" before this, but his life has gone through a different trajectory until now. And his real life is far more than the process of his mother jumping off a building to become a murderer so rough, and a person's life is even more mixed and self-knowing. Think about every hero, commoner, tyrant, and criminal who was a baby who came into the world naked, how wonderful the process is.
When Kathie's niece appeared in front of the camera, it was really surprising. It was Kathie alive, but the family blood and memories continued in a strange way. Kathie never talks to people about the conflicts between his Bob. She lives under the threat of violence but does not want to escape (maybe this is also the cause of her death?). Maybe she is more submissive, is a girl who is good at socializing and has a good heart. But as her niece said, including her, including her family, they can only be gradually forgotten.
The Jinx is undeniably a more subjective documentary, but the real content and the shock of life presented in it are more than what we have read in magazines. Any urban legend that has been seen on the screen is more weird and fascinating. Leisurely thinking.
