In fact, the protagonist Robert Dusit is not a rich second generation, his family has been rich for many generations. As the most famous family of real estate tycoons in New York history, Robert Dusit was supposed to inherit the family business and take charge of all businesses, but he had no interest in all this since he was a child. Certain changes in the family, complicated relationships between relatives due to huge wealth, added to his own personality, all these stirred chemical reactions, made Dusit appear alienated, lonely, and a family that must have social enthusiasm since childhood. The atmosphere is out of place, and he has become an elusive and neglected child.
After adulthood, the traitor of this rich family became a weird man with Conan temperament, surrounding him, and murders happened one after another. In 1982, his first wife disappeared inexplicably; in 2000, his close friend was killed in Los Angeles and remains unresolved; in 2001, the reclusive Dusit neighbor was shot and dismembered...
You can imagine, think Both Cong and Bingbing can cause such a big public opinion shock. A descendant of a family that is several times richer than the Sicong family and who has occupied the pinnacle of New York's real estate empire for several generations has fallen into murder after murder, and has been acquitted several times after being arrested. , What kind of storm of public opinion will this trigger?
Even more bizarre, this is just a prequel. I don’t know how many people remember that there was a movie called "All the Good Things" in 2010, which was adapted from Dusit’s mysterious event. After the movie was released, there was no response. But one day, the producer received a call and the other party said, “I’m Robert Dusit. I watched your movie. I’m thinking, would you like to give me an interview.” Director Andrew Jay After hearing the news, Ricky basically broke up. For many years, this strange old man turned down all interview invitations, but this time he took the initiative to invite a film director to do an exclusive interview with himself. This feeling of being stunned by a pie is even more dizzying than winning a lottery first prize.
In addition to a detailed dialogue with Dusit himself, HBO’s 6-episode documentary also interviewed everyone involved in the case, such as the police, prosecutors, the victim’s family, friends, and Robert Dusit’s family members. …Some people speak out about his crimes, some people evade the name, especially Dusit’s family. You can see that when you hear this name, the family members are as if they have heard a blasphemous and unclean spell. His younger brother, who has inherited the family business, is calm and unhurried on all occasions, but when he hears his brother's name, he will fall into uncontrollable panic and fear.
In the lens, Dusit’s image and temperament are something you’ve never seen before. Silent, thin, and even a touch of gentleness and innocence, a silver wire, stumbling and stumbling in speech, yelling, but with certainty from within. He doesn't need to show people anything at all, and he doesn't need to play anything. He always sits there or stands on the streets of New York, making you feel like he can never get close, and you always want to spy. This person is like a child who has never grown up, and an adult who has never had a real childhood. You can't see exactly what he is thinking. He is not in the time and space of this world at all, or the world is not in his eyes at all. He is like an innocent life staying on the earth, seeming to be bored and tired of everything.
He narrated slowly in front of the camera, and it didn't seem to be an excuse. You will think that he may be the real murderer, but he has no motive at all, maybe just like he wants to eat and drink, he wants to kill someone; then you will think that he may be innocent, just a family's money, Victims who cannot breathe with power and outside snooping. His weird behavior cannot be speculated with mundane motives at all. With hundreds of thousands of cash in his car, he was arrested for stealing a piece of bread in the supermarket; he had escaped the mundane whirlpool, but took the initiative inexplicably. Request an interview...
Even if you have read countless people and experienced worldly events, except in this documentary, you may never meet such a miraculous person again. This HBO documentary has no trace of blood, no trace of deliberate horror, but the advancement of each episode will gradually engulf you like a pool of stagnant water.
At the last minute, Dusit forgot to remove the headset and went to the bathroom. He thought the interview was over. While flushing the water, he muttered and murmured himself, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all..." You don't know if this is true. The lights in the room are turned off one by one, and he is here. Talking to oneself in the dark, born, eccentric, descending like death.
There are some cases that will make you sick, and some will make you scared, and such cases will pin you, and then, the chill will crawl across the skin, and the numbness will penetrate the bone marrow. In the end, you know, perhaps, there will always be some mysteries in this world. In this world, there are some people who seem to be the same as us, but they are born different from us.
