Arthur Martunovich, the murderer of the Brooklyn Harbour City hammer murder, was sentenced not to be held accountable for his insanity. He once claimed to have watched a movie about Chinese men abusing Chinese women, so he went to a Chinese restaurant to attack Chinese men. Prosecutors found that the film the killer saw should be the well-known science fiction blockbuster "Cloud Atlas", which contains a story of the enslavement of cloned women in South Korea in the future, which has nothing to do with the Chinese.
After the Harbor City bloody incident, Matunovich told the police and investigators that he had watched a film of Chinese men abusing Chinese women before the incident, felt that "Chinese men were too bad", believed that Chinese men "detained their women", so rushed to the harbor city restaurant, wanting to "take a hammer to prove my love for women." ”
According to the testimony of the defendant psychiatrist, Matunovich suffered from bipolar disorder, bipolar disorder, and lost the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality, especially for Chinese men. Unable to distinguish between movies and reality, he thought that Chinese women were imprisoned by Chinese men like in a film he had seen, so he called himself a "warrior" and "Christ is reborn", believing that he should solve it. Believing that "Hua Nan is not human at all", he believes that he has a responsibility to "get rid of them" in order to "replace them with humans".
After the case was exposed, many Chinese wondered what film the murderer had watched to cause such a cruel bloody case. According to prosecutors, the film should refer to "Cloud Atlas", a 2012 science fiction blockbuster directed by the well-known directors The Wachowskis. The film's cast is a star-studded cast that includes Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Chinese actress Zhou Xun and South Korean actress Bae Doona.
However, in "Cloud Atlas", there is actually no explicit content involving Chinese. The film tells a total of six interlocking stories, the only one that may be related to the "abuse of Chinese women" is the fifth: in the next 2144 years of South Korea's "Neo Seoul", humans mass-manufactured and enslaved clones, and the female clone Xingmei (Pei Douna), who works as a waiter in the restaurant, awakens and rebels under the inspiration of her colleague Youna (Zhou Xun).
The story does not have the content of "Chinese men abusing Chinese women", not to mention that the movie itself is a fictional science fiction film. It is worth mentioning that the person responsible for "hero saving the United States" and saving the Asian heroine from the "magic cave" of the restaurant in the film is a white man, just like Matunovich. This may also be part of the reason why he misinterpreted and substituted the character and chose a Chinese restaurant to commit the crime.
