"The murderer must have hated her for being so cruel. Do you think?"

"No, I don't think it's hate."

Pipa chats with old cop about Black Dahlia murderer in restaurant

In the first and second episodes, Pai spends a lot of space to create the contradiction between the heroine as a white person living in a black community and Pai Pai's struggle as a down-to-earth reporter in news value orientation. You think this is a suspenseful story about A girl's dark growing up story. As a result, the director of the third and fourth episodes directly threw jaw-dropping bombs about SM and female reproductive obsession, and the plot pointed to the doctor's family gossip history. In fact, if the main line is unified after four episodes, it can be compressed into two episodes, which is why many people feel that the rhythm is too slow or there is a sense of rupture.

But what I have to say is that the third and fourth episodes directed by Victoria Mahoney are quite advanced in terms of morbid psychology. Although there is no pornographic scene, you can use a lot of objects and paintings that metaphorize the female body and uterus in the play. , to highlight the creepy perverted psychology of George Hodel as an obstetrician and gynecologist.

In the third episode, the doctor wears a suit with a "bull's head" at the "house party"

In the third episode, the heroine sneaked into the doctor's ex-wife's house, and the "bull's head" hung on the wall

Episode 3, "Artwork" at Sepp's House

Episode 4, ex-wife 'cuts' at performance art party

Episode 4, Pai Pai breaks into the Doctor's Collection, the "painting" behind him

Episode 4, "Black Dahlia" and "Bloody Romeo" in the Pavilion

Episode 4, one of the paintings in the pavilion, the "keyhole" between women's legs

Episode 4, "Bull's Head" in the last shot

These "bullheads" have to be thought of. . .

hmm~

Whether it's objects, paintings, or the "keyhole" metaphor, it all points to the obstetrician and gynecologist George Hodel's desire to dominate the female body and his morbid fascination with the sexual organs. The subtle thing is that he himself, as an obstetrician and gynecologist, has created a new kind of gynecological surgery, which has brought more "patients" to him.

It also raises a question, if the murderer in the Black Dahlia and Bloody Romeo case so brutally dismembered the victim's body, if not because of "hate", then why?
