The Perfect Crime [Thursday, Period Five]
"Ambiguity, misdirection, red herrings," Rick began, listing him off on his fingers. "These are three things which the mystery writer loves, but your average detective hates with a vengeance. The smallest detail could be the thing which cracks a case wide open, but following up on leads takes time and resources, and if it goes nowhere, or means something completely different to what you thought, it makes it that much harder to catch the responsible parties. In a worst case scenario, the waters might end up being so muddied that even if you catch the bad-guy, their lawyer is able to use that whole reasonable doubt thing to get them to walk."
"Which brings us to today's class. We're going to be watching a murder mystery," he said with a broad grin. "But this movie's a little unusual, because it's got three endings, and not in the last instalment of King of the Bracelets sense, but three separate endings. Now all three ending are on this version, but when it originally came out, each reel of the film had one of those three endings picked and used at random. This means that every clue in the film up to the reveal had to point towards all three of those endings, and trust me, even doing that for one ending is pretty hard."
"What I want you to do is to pay close attention to the film and see if you can work out who our killers are before the reveal. Bonus points if you can figure out the motive too."
