Zodiac-the end of the detective story
Amelie 2022-03-20 09:01:10
When a director proves his strength to Hollywood after years of work and gains their trust, then he will ask for his childhood experience to be put on the screen-for Peter Jackson it is King Kong, for David Fincher, it is Zodiac The story of the killer. Under the threat of "hijacking school buses and killing children" by Zodiac, California in the 1960s was shrouded in many shadows. As a child, David Fincher also took the elementary school shuttle bus escorted by a police car. This may be why the director will continue to enjoy the detective story after the modern classic of Seven has been included in his work.

Melvin Belli: Inspector Toschi.
[holds up bloodied shirt piece]
Melvin Belli: It is my belief that this is a window into this man's soul. Killing is his compulsion. Even though he tries to ignore it, it drives him. It's in his blood.
Dave Toschi: Maybe. Or maybe he just likes the attention.

[Graysmith visits with Ken Narlow in Napa]
Robert Graysmith: Does the name Rick Marshall mean anything to you?
Ken Narlow: [it does] What are you after?
Robert Graysmith: What have you got?
Ken Narlow: Hypothetically, you just named my favorite suspect in the whole case. This is off the record. Couple of years back, I was trying to get Marshall's prints. I handed him a photo. He looks at it. He's about to give it back and he says, "My goodness, I got fingerprints all over this." And he wipes them off.
Robert Graysmith: Why didn't you test him for handwriting?
Ken Narlow: Because when they finally did run his prints... they cleared him against the one in Stine's cab.
Robert Graysmith: So it's not him?
Ken Narlow: Maybe yes, maybe no.
Robert Graysmith: No? What do you mean?
Ken Narlow: Zodiac left gloves behind at the scene. If he had the foresight to bring gloves with him, how the hell's he gonna accidentally leave a print behind?
Robert Graysmith: But it was in the victim's blood.
Ken Narlow: Could have been one of the bystanders, or a cop just reaches out... Boom. False print.
Robert Graysmith: But that print disqualified 2,500 suspects.
Ken Narlow: Which is why we used handwriting.
Robert Graysmith: But not for Rick Marshall.
Ken Narlow: S.F.P.D. saw a handwritten sign in the window of his house, decided it looked nothing like the Z letters, so they moved on.
Robert Graysmith: How do they know Rick Marshall wrote the sign?
Ken Narlow: [smiles] My thoughts exactly. Rick Marshall was a Navy man. He received code training. He was also a projectionist at a silent film theater.
Robert Graysmith: How do I get a copy of Rick Marshall's handwriting?
Ken Narlow: Three ways. One, get a warrant; which you can't. Two, get him to volunteer; which he won't.
Robert Graysmith: Yeah, and three?
Ken Narlow: Get creative.
