Fellow Contemporaries 
Zodiac says he kills people because he had headaches:-O. Oh no, I do have head aches, I believe I wont go around in a killing spree. What’s in it to kill people only psychopath could throw light on it? It’s becomes very difficult to find the killer especially if the murder happens for no motive. Just for the heck for it. You gone a long drive and you find 2 people and for no reason you see them and you kill them, Pathetic. When asked for the reason, he says he killed them because he had headaches, well at least the zodiac said in the movie Zodiac.
The most hardening fact is that this so called Zodiac killer in the movie Zodiac was a real life character who threatened people life’s, killed cops sleep, and lived in the year 1969. What’s more he even sends letter to the local police and the newspaper about the crime he did and the cop for whatsoever reason have not been able to track him down. The case is open for several years, they close the case. The letter from the zodiac comes again after years which trigger them to open the case, they then close it again. The movie goes on; well I don’t go beyond this about the movie. Period. Watch it yourself.
About the movie, there is no space for entertainment or to put in another way no masala things in the movie, it’s a very plain subject which we have seen in many other movies – find the killer. But what makes it stand apart from the rest of the psycho crime/thriller movies is that the script, the naturalness of the movie, the characters are very natural, the cop will react like a cop, the killer will be like a killer, people don’t do larger than life things here of course the killing spree though not natural but the truth is it’s a fact and it had happened 30 years.
The script is quite complicated, and you will find a number of characters coming in and out of the movie several times, unless you remember them, you will have a feeling from where the heck this fellow turned in. Large part of the movie is either show inside a newsprint station or a police station and you keep hearing the telephone ringing almost in ¾ of the film. I don’t know why I really liked that phone ringing part.
I always like the real life stories on screen as you can empathize their situation more than reading about them in papers. That’s one reason why I liked the film pursuit of happiness, October sky to name a few.
Life is short, we never really know, the same thing can happen to us that happened to another innocent fellow about whom we read on papers or see on TV. So there’s no point fussing about things, narrowing it to our self. Let it go. Enjoy today as if there is no tomorrow.
