what about dahmer childhood . the double hernia operation which be believe to have spark off his obsession with the inner working of the human body . what about infinity land . the game he invent a a child which involve stick men be annihilate when they come too close to one another and suggest that intimacy be the ultimate danger . what about the relationship between his parent and and the emotional problem of his mother that be far more relevant than just his own relationship with his father . his feeling of neglect when his brother be bear . what about his fascination with insect and animal . how he would dissect roadkill and hang it up in the wood behind his home . what about focus more on his cannibalism . and what about his parent divorce . these be all thing that should have be include in the film . instead the film maker choose to give u a water down napshot from a night or two in his life and and combine it with series of confuse and at time unnecessary flashback and to event that weren not even particularly relevant to our understanding of dahmer . why do not the film maker show how dahmer be interested in people a object rather than people . he could have make this point many time and particularly in the scene in which he drug his victim whilst he have sex with them ( which actually take place in a health club and not a night club ) . instead he just show him ram away at them from behind . whilst i appreciate there be only so much information you can cram into 90 minute ( or however long ) and but why spend such a large part of the film examine his relationship with luis pinet . ( know a rodney in this film ) . my only guess be that the director be try to build up pinet character and to try and make u fear for or empathise with him and but this film be suppose to be about jeffrey dahmer and so why couldn not he have spend those forty five minute on something else . if the scene and their relationship be important enough to warrant such time then fair enough and but it wasn not . the scene in which he kill steven hick and his first victim and be a vital part of the jeffrey dahmer story because it be the first killing and and because of the effect that kill have on the rest of his life . unfortunately the film doesn not explain that it be his first killing and or that he do not kill again for nine year . we assume and because his hair style be different and and he be wear glass that this be a flashback and but to when . and why . what about the shrine he make in his sit room towards the end of his career . one of the most important clue we have towards understand dahmer and his motivation . some people may find my need for accuracy in fact and detail a bit anal and but have study jeffrey dahmer in depth and it be plain to see that this film have very little in common with the person he be and the crime he commit . why bother to spend the time make a film loosely base on jeffrey dahmer rather than tackle the real issue behind his descent into madness and the carnage that ensue . finally and a film with subject matter as repellent a this should carry an 18 certificate and not a 15. we need to see his perversion in more depth and to understand just how detach he be from the rest of u . that doesn not mean show the drill actually enter konerak sinthasomphone head for instance and but at least an indication of the amount of people he kill and and what his modus operandi be when actually kill . anyone watch this film who doesn not know the story of dahmer might come away think he have only kill a few people . he actually kill seventeen men . aside from the fact and lack of depth and the film isn not all bad . there be some nice cinematography and and good performance from the two main character . i would like to see this do again by a film maker who have more knowledge and more energy and and a good reason for make the film in the first place .
