"Hair was digitally added to the close-ups of Jake Gyllenhaal's knuckles as he draws or holds letters. David Fincher felt that Gyllenhaal's hands were too hairless and pretty."
Happy 10th anniversary to this movie and Jake Gyllenhaal's pretty hands
zodiac killer's bday = december 18th
brad pitt's bday = december 18th
conclusion: ted cruz is the wrong suspect & we gotta book brad
the fact that david fincher didn't want to cut any of the script so he just told all the actors to talk really fast is literally so iconic
you know I defend David Fincher every time someone complains about how fucking long this movie is and how does he repay me? world war z 2? really can't trust anyone these days can you!
I LOVED this wayyyy more than I thought I would. I am so tempted to give it a 5. How is every performance amazing? How am I just getting into Fincher? How is it that I could watch 2 more hours of this without being bored? How has Mark Ruffalo not gotten his damn animal crackers yet?
I WANNA WATCH IT AGAIN
This film is a masterpiece, enough said.
AND, for anyone who is interested here are some case facts that were left out of the film: Arthur Leigh Allen attended a college where a brutal murder happened on the football field and the administration got anonymous letters from the killer afterward. Leigh Allen also got a speeding ticket near Lake Berryessa the night of the Vallejo murders. He was 50 miles from his home. I wonder why he was driving so fast... :)
Big fan of the dichotomy my boy Jake has going on. He really is either out there trying to solve a crime or committing it, huh
As a true crime fan I love watching proper attention to detail rendered when recreating real-life events. For what it’s worth, I think David Fincher really hit his stride in the true crime genre with Mindhunter, but this was still very well crafted.
I never pay attention to serial killer related stuff so the whole time I’m watching serial killer movies I’m like “WHATS GONNA HAPPEN” in this case come to find out nothing happens. But with a storyline most people do know about it and know that nothing comes of it it’s still cinematic and entertaining as hell
Well crafted film as always from Fincher, but I felt like there was an overuse of comedy. In my head I couldn’t help but compare it tonally to a thriller like prisoners-which plays nothing for laughs.
The writing, performances etc were all still great though and the films pacing was good too. Didn’t get taxing despite its near 3 hour run time.
Also found this very interesting being a real case, made the killer’s presence more intriguing. But I guess the pay-off is sorta hit or miss amongst audiences.
Jake you’ve done it again who on earth are you you enigma! This is just jam packed with stunning performances with the greatest of these coming from Mr Gyllenhaal himself. His character and story is so gripping and Jake brings the most out of it with his performance.
The film is frustrating at times but I suppose that’s intentional to reflect how frustrating it actually was to work on the case with a borderline inept police force and other complications I won’t mention here. That is until it grinds to halt reflecting the lack of progress made on the case which is a super nice touch. Makes you feel the frustration and stagnation they would’ve felt at that time. Only…
that was just really well written and pretty creepy. it’s creepy because it’s actually true but this movie was amazing and it’s one of my favorites that i have watched in a while. i loved it.
This movie long as hell, but it's really good, and my fav scene would have to be when Avery was in the guys basement
Not many people in California have a basement.
It was fun following the timeline and trying to figure out the mystery as the movie progressed.
i would like to thank jake gyllenhaal for being jake gyllenhaal everyone else try better
