Would you choke your wife if she laughed at you?

Depends more on the relationship they had in this instance I think. It was continuously set up that she couldn't stand him, but never said it out loud. Years and years of chipping away at his manhood, but never in a blatant obvious manner. I think the almost maniacal laughter was the last drop, the burst of all those silent years suffering for probably the both of them.

He just wanted her not only to shut up, but to be gone, her shadow lurking over him finally ending. As she died and he started crying the reality sunk in.

Btw, there are no good motives for murder in my opinion. A lot of people were dissapointed as I saw later by the 'lack' of motive. As if for example money is a better motive (a made up value we granted to pieces of paper) or any other motive for that matter.

I could only see myself killing someone in a wave of insanity fused anger when I saw someone molesting a kid I think. But that wouldn't really be a motive for me to plan a murder, more or less an emotional overload. Which I thought this movie suggested aswell, an emotional overload after all those years of silent suffering.

Um, no. I'd divorce her. Before it got to that point. Be a man about the whole sitch. Spare us both.

Off topic, but Meloni was great in that scene.

Yeah, I'd have killed her too in that situation. He made the right choice. His only mistake was the confession in the bar.
