David fincher's Zodiac in the style of Seven Deaths is adapted from Robert Graysmith's best-selling documentary "Reading Zodiac [b]: The Mystery of American Devil Identity". It tells the story of a mysterious criminal named "[b] Zodiac Killer" who made a series of bloody cases in Los Angeles in the last century, making him one of the most terrible and elusive serial killers in American history.

San Francisco, shrouded in darkness, has always lacked self-confidence during the day, and the smell of blood has stirred up the hidden pain of panic and anxiety, which has entangled the citizens for 12 years. In the 1970s, a killer who claimed to be "[b] the zodiac [/b]" went crazy, happily played a life-and-death game, killed a person, sent a letter, "kindly" left a clue to the police, and then watched an atypical chase where only cats could not see mice. Faced with such a strange and unruly fanatic, the dull police can't cope. However, the San Francisco Chronicle reporters Robert (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Paul (Robert Downey Jr.) saw the clues of the case, and with the help of Detective David (Mark Ruffalo) and his partner Bill (anthony edwards), they started a brain and life struggle with the zodiac killer.

About the story.

Zodiac Killer tells a true story and a chilling crime. The whole story stems from a madman's revenge. No one knows his true identity, and his atrocities have never been punished by law. He named himself "[b] Zodiac [/b]", and he was so elusive that he was good at making puzzles. This series of murderers once put the whole United States in a panic, and they were an out-and-out demon. In the1960s and1970s, at least 65,438+03 people died at his hands, but according to his own account, there were 24 people ... The police confirmed that there were 8 murders related to him, but the exact number has always been a mystery. The only certainty is that this figure also includes the living.

The film, directed by david fincher, tells the story of a serial murderer wandering in San Francisco. He mocked the group by sending letters with codes. He claimed that his true identity was hidden in the password, but the password was not solved until the end. The behavior of "[b] Zodiac [/b]" attracted the attention of four men. In the process of tracing the murderer, they are not only awakened by another self, but also re-entered the soul construction of life, and are also destroyed by these endless clues.

Of these four people, Robert Graysmith is the most variable. This shy and introverted cartoonist contributes exclusively to the San Francisco News. But he resolutely followed our ace reporter Paul Avery to investigate the case of "[b] Zodiac Killer [/b]". Although he lacks Paul's contacts and news sensitivity, he has vital insight and foresight.

Paul Avery has a very special relationship with Dave Toscher, a famous and ambitious detective of the San Francisco Police Department, and his cautious partner william armstrong. How special this relationship is is unknown, but many crime news stories reported by Avery came from them ... and all the events began on an ordinary day-65438+1August 969. On this day, the editorial department of San Francisco News received a handwritten letter with a rough font, which contained many emails. Its arrival represented a bad omen and caused an uproar among editors: "Dear editor, this is a murder ..." It described several murders from1968 65438+February 20th-that day, David. The person who wrote this letter didn't know the names of these victims, but he accurately told some very detailed and clear details that only the police knew. Since then, he has been sending letters to the editorial department, claiming that every piece of paper has a password, and once it is cracked one by one, his true identity will be exposed. These letters are like one death declaration after another, and there is one or more murders behind each letter. He has become another serial murderer who enjoys playing with the police after Jack the Ripper.

The name "Zodiac" has become a terrible taboo. Although a couple living in Salinas cracked these passwords, Robert Graysmith, who has a strong interest in passwords, thinks the information they gave is incorrect. He solved the hidden meaning of the password, which involved 1932 movie The Most Dangerous Game.

1September 27, 969, "[b] Zodiac Killer [/b]" disguised himself with a headscarf, a pistol and a dagger, and continued to commit crimes, killing a young couple who went to the lake for a picnic-Cecilia Ann Shepard and Brian Hartnell; A month later, on June 65438+1October1day, "b[b]Zodiac[/b]" returned to San Francisco and shot a bullet into the back of the head of taxi driver Paul Lee Stein. Three days later, a letter brought even worse news. "[b] Zodiac [/b]" said that the police would take him away that night, but before that, he would shoot a student of a school bus ... The problem is that he didn't say which school to ambush, which made the San Francisco police department go up and down. The information revealed in the letter "[b] Zodiac Killer [/b]" made special agent Dave Tosher, william armstrong and journalist Paul Avery form a temporary alliance to solve the case, but "[b] Zodiac Killer [/b]" always beat them to it, and the three men left it in "[b] Zodiac Killer [/b]". The only person left is Robert Graysmith, who has been a bystander in the whole incident.

About the film

Welcome to the nightmare created by director david fincher again ... Like many American children who lived in San Francisco in the last century, david fincher, who was only seven years old at that time, once lived in the nightmare of a mysterious invisible killer. People call him the "Zodiac Killer". David fincher recalled the scene at that time: "If you grew up here, fear will always pervade your childhood: What if he chose our school bus?" What if he shows up right next to us? Looking back, my idea was really a bit dramatic, but children are children. I grew up in Marin, San Francisco. Now, I know that the place where the crime happened is far away from me, but when you were a primary school student, what you lacked was this kind of rational thinking. At that time, I only thought of one thing-he would appear in our school. I still remember the horror faces of the children when they talked about the killer. 1974, our family moved away, but I clearly remember that the name' [b] Zodiac [/b]' has always accompanied my childhood memory. "

In the next 30 years, david fincher never dreamed that he would repeat his nightmare in this way-directing Zodiac Killer. By searching 1000 pages of records and evidence of the incident at that time, david fincher felt that his childhood memory was recovering little by little. He interviewed several policemen, the surviving victims and the families of the main suspects involved in the incident ... At that time, a primary school teacher was arrested, accused of being a pedophile and put in prison because of his abnormal preference for primary school students, but was he the [b] zodiac?

And david fincher himself wanted to know what ignited the enthusiasm of Robert Graysmith, who was only a cartoonist in San Francisco News at that time, and made him want to uncover the mystery of the murderer. Gray Smith wrote two best-selling novels-[b] Zodiac [/b] and later "Revealing the Zodiac", which not only recorded every detail at that time, but also the investigation process of four people being tortured and miserable, and the words were full of satire on human nature. David fincher described Gray Smith as follows: "He knew he was just a bystander in the whole story, but he always wanted to be a part of it, and he did. He devoted himself to the investigation as soon as he had time, because although he worked in a newspaper, he was not a reporter. But he never gave up his pursuit and was once very close to the truth. Strictly speaking, this film is completely based on the viewpoint given by Gray Smith, but we did our own investigation, including the official report of the police and the interview with the client ... However, the time has passed so long that even the memory of the client will inevitably be affected, so we got many different interpretations of the story. In case of doubt, we will take the police report as the benchmark. Regarding the story of' [b] Zodiac [/b]', many people stand up and say that some of Gray Smith's views are wrong and they are right. However, there are too many secrets to be solved in the event itself, so when dealing with the film, the truth is always uncertain, which is why we choose to tell this story through Gray Smith's eyes. My purpose is relatively simple, as long as I can grasp the' truth' expressed in the two novels. "
