lost lover

The husband kills the wife, this kind of incident seems to have become a kind of habit because of the frequency of occurrence.

The Shanghai man disassembled his wife into eight pieces and put it in the freezer for 105 days before he was found; Hangzhou husband woke up in the morning and found that his wife was missing, and actively cooperated with the police to find his wife. , thrown into the septic tank of the family community.

On the other side of the world in the United States, Chris and Shannan, a couple who seem to have a very happy family, and their two lovely daughters, are looking forward to Shannan's new family member.

Life always moves on a wildly absurd note, and the documentary "American Murder: The Family Next Door" faithfully documents it all.

Looking back at the wedding video of Chris and Shannan through the movie, the girl is mature, beautiful, and generous; while the man, in contrast, has a fat body and a shy face hidden behind thick glasses. It is not difficult to imagine that he married When you come to Shannan, you will laugh in your dreams, right?

What's more, the wife in front of me is really smart and strong - she knew from a long time that she had to be self-reliant, she owned her own house at the age of 25, and had a very thorough plan for her life.

I don't know which nonsense bisexual relationship expert said: two people with complementary personalities walk together, and the possibility of happiness will be maximized.

Chris and Shannan clearly demonstrate how bullshit this theory is.

Years later, the shy husband in the video had 2 daughters, but he was younger and fitter. In stark contrast to this is his wife, who is a little fat. In order to satisfy her husband's wish to have a son, she does not consider the hardships of pregnancy at all, and happily conceives the baby.

Through the photos posted on Shannan's social accounts, she can feel her growing love for her husband Chris. On the morning of returning from a holiday, she, her two daughters and the child in her womb were killed by her husband without warning, and became "disappeared lovers".

Ordinary people will sigh: All this is too outrageous, why do you think that the person who loves you the most will kill himself and bury happiness with his own hands?

Thinking about it carefully, no matter how complicated it is, and how entangled and twisted emotions are, it is nothing more than "money" and "color".

In the case of septic tank dismemberment in Hangzhou this summer, the wife murdered his wife for a "wealth". As for this guy in the United States, he left his beautiful wife unattended in the middle of the night, and was still practicing push-ups on the ground, trying to get fitter. Obviously, he had an affair.

However, if only "money" and "sex" can drive people to forget their own "human nature" and act like beasts, it is too far-fetched.

In a relationship, if you don’t have enough love, life will be very painful. After all, you have to get along with this person day and night. Love will slowly turn into foam in the firewood, rice, oil and salt, and gradually disappear. You are tired of each other, and love turns into a power of boredom. Sometimes it is difficult to The imagination is powerful and scary.

Conversely, loving too much can be a problem, especially when one partner loves the other more than himself. The emotional balance is gradually increasing, while the other is passively lifted, suspended, and then feared. Escape is the first reaction.

In "American Murder", I believe Chris is a combination of these two emotions, his love for his wife is waning, and his wife's feelings for him are growing, which makes him more and more suffocated, his mind swelled, and he has no Planned to kill his wife and children in the stupidest, stupidest and most inhumane way, naively thinking that he gave his life and pressed the Start button again.

In fact, if you think about it the other way around, he must have really loved someone who can be so reckless. On the contrary, the step-by-step, well-planned act of killing his wife makes people shudder. Such a husband or boyfriend may never have been moved by the woman, and their intimacy and closeness may have other intentions from the beginning.

This reminds me of the movie "The Debt of the Giants" based on another real "wife murder" incident. The man is a famous declining noble in Denmark who married a first-class lady from a wealthy family in the United States. This combination is also a "celestial match" among ghost and gender experts. Both parties have other plans for each other, but not for love, everything is solid is just right.

However, since the wealthy lady married the nobleman, her body gradually weakened until she became a vegetative person.

The nobleman used his wife's money to arrange the best escort for his wife, and let her lie in a luxurious hospital bed like that, without much dignity. And he himself has money, a mansion, a title of nobility, a new girlfriend, plus the British accent he learned at Oxford University in his early years, he is a golden bachelor.

The most ridiculous thing is that there is basically no other possible setting except that the nobles poisoned their wives and murdered their wives. The nobles used their wives' money to hire the best team of lawyers from Harvard to win the case where they didn't kill their wives, alive and well. Whitewashed his reputation in America.

This kind of "wife killing" that excludes love is more lethal. It not only shows that the woman has an excellent "low ability" in choosing a mate, but also makes onlookers realize that in a complex society, there is always a law of the jungle called "love". Self is the most", this law can murder a person, murder a love, murder a happiness.

The subtitle at the end of the documentary says, In America , three women are killed by their current or ex-partner every day .

How to avoid being killed by a lover? Seems like it could be extended to a galactic philosophical question. It's about love, it's about betrayal, it's about greed, and it's about whether we know ourselves clearly.

May every lover who was murdered in heaven forget the nightmare and rest in peace.
