You can see in the movie who the killer was




Look at the movie again at 48 minutes.

You see the killer, jumping on the woman with the umbrella.

You can see his face clearly.

so?

does he show up anywhere else in the film?

reply

I don't remember seeing him. If he wasn't in the movie then I suppose that you could reason that no one in the movie was the killer.

reply

The fact that they never caught the killer or knew his true identity in real life suggests this shot does not mean much, merely a tool to confuse us, as opposed to giving us answers.

reply

Interesting that his face was shown at 48 minutes since most homicides are solved within the first 48 hours.

48 minutes is 80% of one hour. I find nothing interesting in that, nothing at all, zip, zero, nada.

Cool.

i saw the extras that came in the dvd and the director explains that in the scenes where the murder appears, they used different people each time, cause of they never caught him.

Actually that person also looked kinda like the officer whose leg must be amputated. Even though they showed the final murder after his surgery,could it actually took place before his surgery??? There's also one scene with the main character looking at his assistant's shoe with that sole covering. Is he also a suspect?
Right when they found that young guy who requested the song on the radio,I also immediately thought - FINALLY they got him! But still,it's very confusing if he ever did it or not even though A LOT of clues tells us that he IS THE ONE.
Also,did the director purposely put in that short haired 'butch' female who works at the school to further confuse us? Who knows the murderer could be female? Females do have soft hands as well.
Well,just my thoughts. I could be all wrong too! haha.

reply

he was looking at the shoe because he would only be needing one of them

reply

And it was symbolic he lost his "kicking" leg and that the shoe was still "dressed" in that cap/cloth thing (don't know how to put it better sorry)

The guy in the pic does make an appearance in the movie again, surprised no one has pointed this out, but if you watch the scene where the guy is being interrogated with the people protesting outside, you'll see that same guy walk in unnoticed and fix something (the boiler?)... he shows his face briefly as a tease to the audience... and if you don't think it's him, think about it, what's the purpose of showing a guy walk in, face the camera, and again be shown walking out while intentionally hiding his face? He adds nothing to the scene and is an unnecessary extra walking through a major scene in the movie... The director knew what he was doing...

snakedoc34 What moment are you talking about exactly?
When they investigate the retarted kid or the young guy

The scene where they tape the confession of the guy, who masturbated at woods. While he is sitting on the floor, because they took his chair, a plumber walks in, fixes something in the back and walks out. He can be seen walking in and walking out of the room and up the stairs. It's really weird scene and "obvious" (camera follows him, but he is always out of the frame, so it's definitely deliberate), but the movie never mentioned it again, so my guess would be that director just wanted to play with the audience and make them think that scene has some meaning.

reply

Yeah man just saw it and cant believe that I missed it that in the first viewing, guess I was too engrossed with what the caught guy was gonna say.
I think you are right, the director was playing with our minds and boy did he do well.
Thnx for pointing it out.
