So Fincher changed. At least this time, he brought a much calmer but still wonderful work.
The killer is not the real protagonist, we can't find Spacey as amazing as in [Seven]. In this movie, an unsolved case can change those who seek answers, and the protagonists are these people.
The last thing Robert said to Paul, who was living in seclusion, was I'm sorry that I bothered you. Later when Robert appeared on TV, Paul was already a downright old man sitting in a bar with an oxygen cylinder. A few years ago he still had a smirk and treated the editor of this case cynically. The danger that was once almost trapped can be laughed off, but it was the first of the three to withdraw. For him, Zodiac has become a yesterday's news that he does not want to mention.
And for many years, Robert, who has always been hard to let go of Zodiac, suddenly began to investigate like a clockwork, in fact, just like the police officer David of the year, but part of the latter's effort is due to his responsibility. After the most suspected Arthur Leigh Allen was denied by his superiors, Dave was incredulous but helpless. And seven years later, Robert repeated the name Rick Marshall loudly to Linda in prison, but was flatly denied by the other party. The look of disappointment and almost out of control resembled that of David at the time.
At the end of the film, the two sit opposite each other, almost completely affirming the identity of the murderer. David still got up and left calmly. He knew how to let go, but made the right choice.
Four years later, Robert saw Arthur Leigh Allen and turned away without a word.
The part where Robert visits the projectionist and enters the basement is a horror climax for the whole film. The fear he showed was so real. Now think about it, if the truth is revealed here, it will be a reasonable ending. But it's definitely not a Vinci ending.
