In a lot of cinema and other types of entertainment, crimes over love and passion over someone else has been a large recurring theme in a large amount of film. These films usually involve someone who falls in love with another person and leads to them being violent over their love. The term 'crime passionel' refers to this term, showing how a lot of crime is lead to due passion and love over someone. This is where someone is aggressively in a sum of powerful feelings in the heat of the moment, and commits violence and crime without any thought process or going through it, which is then argued to not be first degree murder as it was not pre planned. I want this idea to link into my film opening, involving a blow up in emotion, and a psycho who commits murder due to his mindset inside, and passion. A film that is similar to this is A Perfect Murder (1998) where a man has his wife murdered due to her being with another man.
Robert Downings poetry, more specifically My Last Duchess describes a man who is a collector of valuable objects. However, when he finds out his wife smiles at other people on the street, or gives her compliments, he shows a feeling of jealousy and anger. This leads to him having her murdered, as a result. Then, he 'possesses' her by having a portrait of her, and hiding her portrait with his other valuable objects.
In my film, my partner and I planning to approach it with a similar theme, with a man who is jealous of another woman, and murders her in cold blood. After this, we are planning a voiceover of him reading My Last Duchess, in an attempt to justify his murder, and tell to himself why he did at, as a coping mechanism.
