Those wishing to delve deeper into the psyche and demeanor of one of the most manipulative, sophisticated and cunning serial killers in the western hemisphere could do a lot worse than watching this film.
The film lays out the psychological threads which Bundy stitched across his victims, the press, law enforcement and most notably his girlfriend. Bundy's wove his deceitful tapestry driven by the self-centered belief that he was superior in intellect to all those around him - this delusion was a result of his own falsehood about his self-worth, somewhat fueled by his studies - Chinese, later psychology and then later he was accepted into law school - but also his political career as he was serving assistant to the republican party in Washington. None of this is outlined in the film, which is a shame, but this is Hollywood.
Still, the message is clear; never trust those who cast doubt in you because they seem to good to be true. Because there is a good chance you are right. In today's world of social media, it may appear easy to check someone out before dating them. and those who do not leave an online footprint are also easily sussed out too, so nothing to worry about right?
Wrong. The footprinted personalities left online are mere derivatives of the real person, in the same way we all wear masks when talking to people, so too is social media a tool to masquerade behind.
