I just finished brushing this classic, and I brushed it three times before I understood it. In a straightforward manner, to record this real case. David Fincher is a genius. Because he is a genius, there will be no unnecessary plots. Many people think that the part of the film projectionist is misleading or just a segment that adds to the atmosphere. However, from the perspective of the film’s overall use of flat and straightforward narrative, this kind of increase in the thrilling atmosphere is an act that undermines the overall tone. Then the director The sole purpose of joining this paragraph is probably to add his own and is the only self-judgment in the entire case.
In the first case at the beginning of the film, from the final outcome, Lee is at least the murderer of the first case. Whether it is the motive, the statement of the deceased’s sister, and the identification of the survivor, it is sure to be him. But the DNA in the letter from the Zodiac is not consistent with Lee's, so is it possible to have such a hypothesis that, except for the first case, the other cases are the actions of the Zodiac. The real zodiac is the projectionist. From the very beginning, he witnessed the process of the first case, Lee, which inspired his desire to hunt people as prey. And from the beginning of the case, he began to make arrangements, randomly select the victims, and observe Lee's living habits, overall timeline, shoe size, glove size, birthday, etc., these are very easy to get information. From the very beginning, I planned to push all the cases to Lee, using the perspective of a full controller, while committing crimes while mocking the incompetent police for not being able to find him, and finally according to his arrangement, thinking that Lee is the zodiac.
The main reason for making such a judgment is that, first, as a handwriting recognizer for many years, it is impossible to misrecognize the notes. The difference of the K is that the Zodiac asked that Rick to write, because Rick has a handle on him. In my hand is the mysterious tape. Second, in front of the cartoonist, he directly admitted that the pictorial was written by him, and let the cartoonist go back. This calmness is in line with the self-confidence and the desire for control of the high-IQ criminal suspect. He believes that the police cannot catch it at all. There is no direct evidence for arresting him. Thirdly, the cartoonist’s deep fear is a reminder given by the director to the audience. The cartoonist already knows very well who the real murderer is, and said "there are two murderers", yes, it is two, one is Lee, one is the real zodiac, that is, the projectionist. At this moment, the cartoonist’s fear was not that he would be killed, but that the place they met at the time was the cartoonist’s home. He was afraid that his family would be retaliated against because his wife once asked him whether his family’s safety is more important. It is important to find the real murderer, and the cartoonist did not hesitate to choose family safety. So in the end, the cartoonist pointed out that Lee was the murderer, but did not name the other person. . .
Maybe this ending is just the director's personal hope, not wanting to be like in reality, leaving only a permanent unsolved case. .
