So who is the killer?SPOLIER


Was it really the psychiatrist? Or Sharon???

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway. ;P

Did you watch the film? It very clear that Dr Glass is the murderer. In the final scene, Sharon describes how he did it and it showed you him doing it. It's quite obvious

Errr, how would "Sharon" be able to explain how HE did it, if she was not at the murder scene(s)?
The scenes you see at the end were what Cathrine wrote in her book impilcating the Doctor, and removing susspision from her. Not scenes of the actual murders.
Maybe she wrote it that way as SHE was the murderer but wanted to make it look like the Doc did it?
As Cathrine is the murderer in the first flick and how she goes about covering it up and implicating others, it stands to reason she did the same here.
Glass only did the murders in the book.

It's definetly NOT the Doc.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.

Of course it's the bloody doc! She knew what he did because she's also a psycho. I think the docs wry smile at the end told you that he did it then played the mental card so he wouldn't have to go to prison. I mean 'duh'. I'd hate to hear your explanations of other films. Do you know who kayser Soze was???

reply

She knew what he did because she's also a psycho.


She knew EXACTLY how the murders happened to the finer details, able to recount very specific movements...just cos she is "psycho"?
She'd have to be psychic not psycho.

She knew cos she did it and pushed he blame onto Glass.

"I couldn't have done it without you."

How more blunt does it need to be?

And so, God came forth and proclaimed widescreen is the best.

Its open to interpretation how many - if any - of the murders were by the psychiatrist and how many committed were by Catherine just as it is open to interpretation how many of the murders were by the psychologist and how many were by Catherine in the first film. The viewers can also come to their own conclusions about the guilt of the detective played by David Thewlis.

I'm not sure what some of you are smoking. Catherine Tramell is the murderer. She's the femme fatale. Screenwriting 101: The only reason why she visits him at the end is to tell the audience what happened. Also, think in terms of poetic license: the famed, brilliant psychologist gets thrown into a pscyh-ward. He was the fall guy, hence she signed the book, "I couldn't have done it without you." He smiles because he's so jacked up on meds that he can't even walk; she's manipulated him to the point of getting HIM to believe he murdered people he did not. (Now, he obviously did shoot the police officer, which was stupid, but required by the script, and one of the many problems I had with this otherwise under-rated film.)

I agree its Catherine.

Exactly, someone speaking (or at least typing) sense.

reply

I think it was Catherine. How would Dr. Glass have killed his ex-wife? He followed her and Catherine into the bathrooms and then saw his ex-wife with her throat slit. I don't see how he could have killed her. The only person Dr. Glass killed was the crooked cop

The same person that it was in the first one.

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

reply

It was obviously Catherine, that's why she wrote what she did in the book she handed him at the end, anyone who believes it was Glass either hasn't seen the first one or is really dense.

real human being and a real hero
