Murder is a crime that one should be punished for, but the lack of regret that comes from it is worse than the incident. Sometimes law can only lock someone up for several years, but to change someone and ensure they will not behave the same way again, requires changing what is inside. The story of Joran van der Sloot traces back to Aruba, where he is believed to be the key suspect in the missing case of Natalee Holloway. Nevertheless, he was later set free because of not having enough evidence against him, the case became very popular in Aruba, the Netherlands, and ultimately like the Zodiac killer back in the mid-1990s became a figure in popular culture.
Several years later and by chance, another case resembling that of Natalee, emerged in the city of Lima, the capital of Peru. This triggered the renewed investigation of the case and more shocking and painful details were brought to light. The film reveals what Joran was doing and how he was communicating with the law enforcement agencies then. It also examines whether he had been set up by someone or whether he is the one behind the killings and meaning behind his conduct.
Joran van der Sloot is a pathological liar: The Lies of Joran van der Sloot is conventional in format, a collage of news clips and interviews with a standard format. Perhaps, the most interesting aspect of the documentary the more you watch, the more you hate the killer assassin who appears on screen. Also, the non-chronological screenplay further builds interest in the cross-genre probiotic non-fiction.
You will be riveted by Pathological the way you were with Zodiac (2007) and also the Indian 2013 Malayalam film “Drishyam”. How the main character in Drishyam uses his wits and skills to escape all possible punishment is something that the suspect in the case of the disappearance of Natele will keep the audience in horror. The vulnerability of the Holloway family is best experienced when the killer continues to swindle them over and over again.
The movie “Pathological” under the direction of Christopher Cassel is a perfect scene of the killer being interrogated by police while getting mad and showing grudges over their notorious killer rival across the globe. His trolling activities are showcased over the years, making them hardly a social threat when they are a teenager.
The guy is a terrifying person and the people who find out about him would never engage with him for real. He doesn’t regret anything and he finds enjoyment in his ability to avoid judgement. The documentary lasts around one hour and thirty minutes, and it prompts the viewer to get the strongest sense of hate towards this serial killer, and maybe that is the success of the creators of this film.
In the course of watching the film, as you observe the character of the murderer, you will notice that he is a sociopath, does not show remorse, and feels that he is doing everything in his own right. Apart from the powerful relatives that he has, other circumstances in their lives develop such personalities. The situation portrayed the same as in the Prime Video series ‘Mumbai Diaries,’ where media involvement hampers efforts to fight the threat of terrorism, a similar plight as is in the movie ‘Pathological’ seeks to unravel.
The other scenario is whereby even when there is the media’s energy towards seeking the truth, it ends up insensitivity towards the victim’s families. As history has shown, kwa nathans are only killers such as the Zodiac Killer due to society’s failure to grasp the issues of mental health. This was the case in the documentary whereby the murderer’s family ignored his violent fantasies for far too long; this neglect allowed the reasoning to escalate and affect several other families as well. There is a risk that communicable diseases pose, as others may be physical, but mental is another case as it spreads widely.
The suspense-building themes in the movie, while depicting the level of the antagonist’s people, might spark intrigue, even though it revolves around true events. The documentary will suit those that are keen on watching intelligent crime-solving narratives and manhunts. The key players in the movie are so captivating, one intuitively imagines a fictional movie that could have been based just on them.
