The overall structure and editing of this documentary is still pretty good. He begins with the murder of the protagonist of the whole documentary, Bob's homicide, and leads to the disappearance of his first wife and the mysterious death of his close friend. In the process of introducing the connection between the three cases, Bob's personal background, his upbringing, and his family's attitude towards him are also introduced. In the end, an unexpected discovery by the crew and Bob's response to it was a little regret, but it was also a relatively complete ending. The whole film is actually more inclined, but it conforms to what the producers insist on in the last episode, what they think is just and intentional. Looking at the whole film, I think Bob is a very controlling and powerful person. In addition, he is very alert and feels that he is underappreciated. I don't know if it is because of the only kindness in his heart or because of showing off. . First of all, when he was a child, he witnessed the death of his mother and his father's disapproval and even control of him. Bob felt a deep sense of powerlessness in life. He wanted to control his own life, and then unconsciously became a strong and extremely controlling He felt extremely angry when his first wife no longer wanted to be controlled by him, and family conflicts occurred frequently, which led to the occurrence of disappearances later. On the one hand, he is very smart. He obeyed his father's arrangement and worked in the company for 18 years but was not recognized. His younger brother inherited the family business that should belong to him. presence in. On the other hand, whether it is the disappearance of the first wife (do not drive to report the case, try to make it a missing case), the death of a friend (deliberately shut down, and create a time difference), or even the shooting of a neighbor (hid the head He was extremely smart and calm (forbidding), but the letters he sent to the police station, his arrest for stealing from the supermarket after escaping bail, and his offer to participate in the recording of the documentary all reflected that he still seemed to have something in his heart. A hint of kindness or a display of his ingenuity. In addition, he did not show a trace of emotion, expression, and kept suggesting to himself that he did nothing wrong throughout the interview, which really made people feel that this person was unfathomable and creepy. Bob dismembered his neighbor but was found not guilty, which made me think a lot about legislation and the operation of the judicial system. It is true that legislation and judiciary should safeguard the freedom and rights of citizens, and convictions should be based on evidence, rather than subjective assumptions and speculations of the public. Turning it into a theater is really chilling. In addition, whether the police can collect evidence diligently and conduct interviews with relevant personnel is crucial to safeguarding the interests of the victims. All in all, this is a documentary with a compactness comparable to that of a TV series. It gave me a lot of thinking and insights during the viewing process, which is quite good!
