Ted Bundy – af LASSE KLAUSEN!!

AF LASSE KLAUSEN!!
 
Ted Bundy – case
The “Ted Bundy” case treats the case of the serial killer, rapist, kidnapper and necrophile Theodore Robert Bundy. For what we know of Ted Bundy´s actions took place through the 1970s, where he assaulted and killed over 30+ people. Bundy approached his victims in a very characteristic way, where he for example impersonated himself as an authority so that he would gain the victims trust and then assault them.
Bundy was charged in UTAH in 1975 and sentenced of kidnapping and criminal assault and he was initially linked to several other crimes as described above. But due to two dramatic escapes Bundy was recaptured in 1978 where he received three death sentences in two different trials. 

I think this punishment is right on target. No one who has done what he has done should be able to get less than a death sentence. It might be double standard to kill him, but I don´t see any harm in removing him from this world. 
The fact that he received 3 death sentences was a waste of time I think, just give him one and let´s get it over with. 

Josef Fritzl kept his daughter prisoned for 24 years


Josef Fritzel kept his own daughter locked down in their basement for 24 years. He forced her to have sex with him, and she gave the birth to 7 children.

The Josef Fritzl case became public on 28 april 2008, when Austrian Josef Fritzl confessed to having kept his daughter Elisabeth Fritzl imprisoned for 24 years (1984-2008) in a soundproof cellar dug under the family house, in a village near the town Amstetten in Austria. The babies in the basement react very hard on sunlight, and they can die if they see the sun because they haven’t seen the sun before, and their skin is almost transparent. Not all the babies survived in the basement, one of the babies died down there, and Josef Fritzel burned it, in a fireplace.  

Josef Fritzl admitted his rape and incest on his own daughter, and he’s at a psychological prison and he will be there lifetime.

Review of the movie Se7en (1995)


Review of the movie Se7en (1995)
by Martin Elleby Berg, 1.D

Se7en is instructed by David Fincher, and the lead roles are played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.
Detective Mills (Pitt), a rookie cop, is transferred to a police station in New York, where his future partner, veteran and nearly retired Detective Lt. Somerset works. The two partners first case to solve a man’s death, who is apparently been killed by overeating. As the film progress, the two cops realize, they are dealing with religious serial killer, who kills people after the seven deadly sins; Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.

What make this film so good are the small details the movie presents us with. You have to follow and watch it from A-Z, to get a good understanding of it. Well, we’re presented with the murderer, about 1 hour into the film but we, as a first time viewer, doesn’t realize that until 30 minutes later, when our two main roles are searching a suspects house, and finds a picture, the murderer took, disguised as a photographer at one of the first crime scenes. The murderer (John Doe , played by Kevin Spacey is first presented to us halfway into the film, and I think is a stroke of genius by Fincher, because it’s kind of cliché to be presented with him in the start, so the police can get closer to him, step by step throughout the movie and catch him in the end. Otherwise, if we are presented with the murderer in the last 10 minutes, we get a bad background description of him. But with Se7en, we meet John in the middle of the film and his background develops by his act and saying, till the end.

One of the films strong sides, are the characters development. Mills and Somerset starts out having a very intense relationship but as the film develops, they get very close. Mills wife, Tracy Mills, played by Gwyneth Paltrow also built a relationship with the wise, veteran cop.

At the point where John finally gets caught (he reports himself at the police station), he has killed five people, and needs two more. He makes an agreement with Somerset and Mills, that he will show them the two missing bodies. John leads the detectives to an open area, where after while a mailman arrives with a package.  And here we arrive to the point, where the film separates itself from other good thriller movies. To finishes his seven deadly sins kills, he needs Envy and Wrath. He completes these two with, by first killing Tracy Mills, because he was jealous of the life Mills has. Her head was in the package, which was addressed to Det. Mills. In his anger, Mills shoots and kills John, and finalizes his masterpiece of killing.

The film is a true masterpiece and it’s one of the best thriller films I’ve seen, first because of its well written plot (and later the plot twist) and the amount of brilliant details it’s consist of. But second, the films structure is very good and different from other films. All around it’s a good film and the cast members make it an even greater experience to watch.  6 out 6 arrows in the air!

Se7en Review

Cruel and Frightening, ”Se7en” Succeeds in Every Way Possible
”Seven” – or stylized as ”Se7en” revolves around the life of rookie detective Mills (Brad Pitt), his wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) and his soon-to-retire mentor detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) in a lawless and violent unnamed city of constant rain and urban decay. Somerset, being fed up with the city’s numerous criminal issues, looks to retire and move to the countryside, but is persuaded to cover one more case with new-in-town detective Mills. That case appears to be the toughest and most frightening case of his career, as a serial killer murders people who he believes to have committed one of the seven deadly sins. An obese man is for example killed by gavage. The detectives try to keep pace of the killer, however, he seems to always be one step ahead of them. Ultimately, the murderer makes the detectives wish they never had been on this case.

Se7en is without a doubt the one of the most exciting thrillers of all time. Pitt, in his prime and one of his best roles ever as the short-tempered but good-hearted detective Mills impresses along with Freeman as the aging, but always reflective and cool detective Somerset. The movie excels in its gripping storyline and amazingly well composed plot, that will keep you on the edge of your seat and failing to reach the popcorn box, because your eyes won’t leave the screen for just a second. The cinematography’s very depressing and stylish representation of the dark and criminally challenged city makes the film a treat to the eye, too. Director David Fincher should be very proud of his only second feature film, as his films easily compares to much more experienced thriller instructors.

Seven


I like the movie ’Seven’ because of the way the movie shows us the 7 moral-sins, and I also like that it is shown in a way with love and sympathy for the policeman who’s wife in the end die.

I think it is a little bit difficult to understand because of the many cases in the movie, and I also think that it took to long time for the movie to be interesting, and it made me unconcentrated.

Expect to that in the end I think it was a very good movie with a good exciting ending.
I think the movie had made me think a lot and it is fascinating!

Because of the slowly start I will give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.

Criminal Case

Dean Arnold Corll
- Also known as “The Candyman”
Dean Arnold Corrl was an american homosexual rapist and serial killer. Between 1970 and 1973, Corll is known to have killed a minimum of 28 victims. All of his victims were males aged thirteen to twenty.
Corll's victims were typically lured into one of two vehicles he owned, with an offer of a party or a lift and driven to his house. There, they were either plied with alcohol or drugs until they passed out, tricked into putting on handcuffs, or grabbed by force. They then were stripped naked and tied to either Corll's bed or a plywood torture board, which was regularly hung on a wall. Then the victims would be sexually assaulted, beaten, tortured and, after several days—killed by strangulation or shot. Their bodies then were tied in plastic sheets and buried.
In several instances, Corll had forced his victims to phone or write to their parents, with explanations for their disappearances, right before he killed them.
Dean Arnold Corll was shot on August 8, 1973, by one of his two accomplices, Wayne Henley. The two had been planning to kill Corll, because they were afraid of him, and thought that he had gone crazy. They had always considered themselves potential victims and worried that they might not see it coming fast enough to escape.  According to them, Dean had been acting very strangely and they feared that his increased need for new victims posed a threat to their security.
