I watched this doc twice, it was so interesting to me.

The first time I was convinced he killed his family and thought he was a worthless piece of shit. The second time I watched it though it seemed pretty obvious the filmmaker was pushing that belief the whole movie, and not really being objective. Which was disappointing because I loved his doc about Timothy treadwell.

The thing that made me realize he was pushing the a belief was the scene where they showed David prepping for his meeting with the mikes. They made it look like he was a manipulative bastard because he planned what to say, how to guide the conversation, how to present himself etc etc.

But once I thought about it I realized I would have done exactly the same thing. David was trying to close a $30M deal. OF COURSE he was going to prep for it. And anyone that’s ever had an important meeting would know that. And I have to assume Werner Herzog has had important meetings that intimidated him when he first started out, and he probably prepped for them too. So it stood out as weird and made me look further in to the whole thing.

You know they found another bullet? They found one in the daughter, two in Kamal, and one in David. And they found another random one in the attic. Plus he had a gun in his left hand, and his right hand was missing. The police said the dog ate his right hand. ?.

And they’re also using the fact that he wouldn’t see his friends as proof that he was in a downward spiral. But he was also pissed because he didn’t want to give them credit for the film, and they were insisting on credit.

But the most suspicious thing is of course the Allah ackbar. The police said he did it as a final “fuck you.” But a fuck you to who? His in laws I would assume. So if he was mad enough at his in-laws that he would make his last act on earth a fuck your to them, clearly that relationship needs to be looked in to more. But as far as I know his father in law was never questioned

I know the mother in law was in the hospital with cancer, and kept asking to see Kamal... and they didn’t want to tell her she wouldn’t come. To me, it’s not s huge stretch to imagine the father in law getting so pissed about that, that he would honor kill the whole family. His wife is dying, and begging to see her daughter and granddaughter, and they refuse to go see her. I think that would make a husband pretty freaking mad.

Plus didn’t they move to the US from Pakistan like three years before David met Kamal? Why did they leave Pakistan? From what I read they were pretty rich there.

But yah. That whole thing is suspicious.
