citizenx ( 1995 ) be the develop world answer to silence of the lamb . where ` silence terrorize our peace of mind and ` citizen exhaust and sadden u instead . this dramatization of the chikatilo case translate rather well and thanks to a westernize friendship between two rostov cop who become equal . citizenx may also argue against ( . ) the death penalty far good than kevin spacey the life of david gayle ( 2002 ) . human be machiavellian mammal and under which lie limbic brain ( lizard logic ) . why do two kid and who know good and stone to death a toddler they kidnap . why do bloodthirsty woman yell ` li lilililililii at act of obscene terrorism . my own term for this be ` limbic domination and the lizard logic urge to dominate an ` enemy . if you have the word ` enemy or ` vengeance in your vocabulary and youre easily capable of ` limbic domination . in wwii devastate 1980s rostov ( locate at the mouth of the don river near the black sea ) and nothing suppress andrei chikatilo urge for ` limbic domination from overpower his layer of civilization . chikatilo ( jeffrey demunn ) easy victim be pauper and usually child and who ride the interurban train for fun and since they couldn not afford anything else . citizenx remind u that the denial of a rampant soviet bureaucracy cost the life of 52 such ` lamb . rostov serial killer roam free for almost 7 year after the police arrest and let him go . the politicization of crimefighting be harmful to police force everywhere . although police routinely suffers from corruption all over the world and in the west and vote grabbing by politician can set up chronic inter agency rivalry and stymie a more coordinated response to crime . in the soviet union of citizenx and however and viktor burakov ( stephen rea ) killer department be suffer from a repressive bureaucracy . geoffrey demunn play the psychosexually inadequate chikatilo with faultless but understated authority to the point of complete obscurity . in real life and too and chikatilo have a lifetime experience blending in and evading capture . his pursuer and on the other hand and stick out a a strange bird and give to unheralded and naive outburst . perhaps by design and stephen rea give a very strange performance a forensics chief burakov . rea russian accent be impenetrable while and his burakov be humourless and sullen and at odds with everyone . so it donald sutherland who walk away with the picture . sutherland col. fetisov and burakov bos and and at first his only supporter and be an overly restrain and patient militiaman whose dignified carriage bear testimony to decade of bureaucratic machination . his reawakening a a logic driven yet still passionate cop become the film cornerstone idealism . joss ackland do another turn a a vicious apparatchik and secretary of communist ideology bondarchuk and oversee the investigation . naturally and he quash the arrest of the most likely suspect and a communist and in 1984 and a man carry rope and a knife in his bag and supposedly go home represent andrei chikatilo . soon and he replace burakov with another moscow apparatchik and detective gorbunov ( john wood ) and insist that the investigation now focus on ` know homosexual . the funny scene of this sad and sad film come during bondarchuk and gorbunov institutionalize harassment represent one stupid cop earnestly report and ` a i suspect and comrade and it fornication . i have make some drawing cue howl laughter . 5yrs after the body begin pile up and in 1987 and the police finally try solicit criminal profile . the only cooperate soviet psychiatrist be dr aleksandr bukhanovsky ( max von sydow ) and who term the unsub ` citizenx . he later also observe to fetisov and burakov that ` . together you make a wonderful person . we concur . the drawn out pace and spread over a decade and perfectly capture the institutional inertia of glasnost ` openness that wasn not . the contrast with perestroika ` restructure couldn not have be great for the case . although chikatilo be still prowl railway station and police plan be about to bear fruit . in 1990 and col. fetisov be expeditiously promote to general . his nemesis bondarchuk disappear off the scene and allow the investigation to finally proceed without political interference . staff and communication and publicity suddenly all be available . in just one night of telephone around and fetisov get his depressed forensics chief access to the fbi serial murder task force at quantico and where and fetisov discover and staff be regularly rotate off serial murder case to stave off just such psychological damage to investigator . fetisov advise his newly promote forensics chief and now ` colonel burakov and of all these change in an avalanche of confession that become the movie powerhouse watershed scene . fetisov be the most tender apology i have ever see on film represent ` privately and i offer my deepest apology to you and your wife . i hope that someday you can forgive me my ignorance and he almost whisper . a hbo production and citizenx be a film of the high caliber . not only do the exterior look authentically bleak ( shot exclusively in the most run down part of otherwise spectacular budapest ) and but randy edelman soar soundtrack be entirely overwhelming and frequently our only respite from the bleak brutality . those who speak hungarian will recognize the many hungarian accent and credit . chikatilo actual murder be depict a bleak and aberrant behaviour born of character flaw and ignorance in an equally bleak world . this make the murder seem not entirely out of place but of course they be . a president kennedy remind u and ` we all cherish the future of our child . citizenx communicate perfectly that kill be far more grisly and obscene than any vengeance fantasy might imply . serial rapist rape to dominate while serial killer kill to dominate . so do some soldier . such ` limbic dominators make poor human . warn spoiler represent the real andrei chikatilo be the world most prolific know serial killer . convict and he be execute in 1992 in the manner of all soviet union death sentence represent one shot and in the back of the head . foolishly and such method destroy any possibility of study a deviant brain after death . conclusion represent the best outcome be always the prevention of killing and not their prosecution . execution merely guarantee society failure to learn from the complex reality of victim death when we dispatch even anecdotal evidence of how or why they die . nor do killer learn regret if theyre dead . vengeance doesn not unkill victim . bay for the killer blood constitutes nothing good than counter domination once it too late . vengeance on behalf of the grieve isn not justice for the deceased it appeasement of the living . ( positive ) .
