This is a famous tragedy that took place in the United States in 1947. The victim, Short, was a girl with a Hollywood star dream, and later became an inexperienced actor. Her life experience is not very good, and there is evidence that she even sells her body in exchange for the money she needs daily. One day in January 1947, a housewife found Short's body when she was passing by a meadow. The naked body was cut from the waist and had been cleaned and drained of blood. The site investigation confirmed that the place where the body was abandoned was not the first case. found the scene.

The autopsy report stated that Short had suffered a severe blow to the head, multiple wounds on the surface of the body, fractured arms and knees, and must have suffered a long period of torture before his death, and the body had traces of being refrigerated. During the police investigation, they received more than ten letters from the alleged murderer, but only three were identified as sent by the murderer, and no clues were left on them. The Los Angeles Police Department spent three years investigating hundreds of suspects before finding nothing and becoming an unsolved case. After the Black Dahlia case, there have been many murders and "supernatural events" at the Cecil Hotel. Since the last time people saw Short was in the bar on the first floor of the Cecil Hotel, it also cast terror for the hotel. In the shadows, Lan Keer's body was also found in the water tank on the top floor of this hotel.

The Black Dahlia has been filmed in many versions of the movie, the lazy man today is talking about the 2006 American version, which is shown in the poster above. The story begins with the attack on the navy's wife, which led to violent clashes between the navy and local youth, but the police were unable to control it. The foreshadowing in the early stage of the movie was a bit delayed. It was caused by another case when the criminal was arrested. There is also a third case. It is indeed a bit complicated and even a little bit unclear. The clues are easily overlooked and need to be carefully thought out. The lazy person wants to add that the movie has a very high degree of reduction in the presentation of the corpse, and there is a sense of horror.

A two-hour movie, this content is too much, it is said to be very loyal to the original novel and adapted, you can imagine how huge the plot covers all the dark and sinful elements. Fortunately, what the director wants to express can probably be felt. It is a kind of criticism of the society at that time by distorting human nature. Although the feeling is a little depressed and not so pleasant, it has a deep thinking.
