Zodiac (2007)Directed by David FincherI had watched this movie several years before, but didn't properly appreciate it then – when someone mentioned it recently, I rewatched it last week on Netflix. I really enjoyed it and thought it was a brilliantly made film.The movie is based on a real life, unsolved case from the 1960s and 70s – that of the "Zodiac Killer" who claimed responsibility for a number of murders, and sent evidence to the police and newspapers. The film is based on a book written by San Fransisco Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith on the case, and shows us the case investigation that happened through the points of view of Graysmith (played by Jake Gyllenhaal), reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr) and inspector Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo). It's a very well made movie, though close to three hours long, it keeps your interest throughout. The performances, script, cinematography, direction are all stellar and show a lot of attention to detail, as you'd expect from perfectionist Fincher. Some movies, you have to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate – which I guess was not the case when I saw it many years back, so I'm glad I re-watched the movie now. Highly recommended.At the time the movie was released, there was no Marvel Cinematic Universe – it's interesting to note that the three main leads are all MCU characters now – Mysterio, Iron Man, Hulk.I drew the Zodiac Killer from the movie, this was done with Uni Pin 0.1 fineliner on A6 Brustro sketchbook and scanned.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram#penandink #unipin #fineliner #inksketch#zodiac #davidfincher #zodiackiller #mindhunter#475 / 29-Sep-19
