 Savoury popcorn: Death of a Unicorn

 Watched a film called "Death of a Unicorn". Frankly, I don't quite get the
 moral of the story, if there is any. The plot looked simply like greedy people
 got what they deserved.

 But the film did make me remember a story that I heard when I was in school -
 The Unicorn in the Garden.

 It took me quite a while back then to figure out what was going on. I might
 still be wrong. The much younger me kept thinking why the husband told the
 police that he didn't see a unicorn despite he was the one telling his wife
 about it. Completely missed the point of the story.

 I think it will just further embarrass myself, but the story made me think for
 quite some time. The innocent me was really thinking if the man indeed saw a
 unicorn. I was also surprised when the man replied the police and let his wife
 be took away.

 Doesn't it sound like truth just doesn't matter? The man might or might not
 actually witnessed a unicorn in his garden, it just did't matter. The police
 and the psychiatrist both had their presumptions, and the man just caught it,
 said some wise words, get to the consensus, job done.

 It reminds me the hardest when watching trials in courtrooms. The reason of
 having terms like intention, reasonable doubts, is probably the proof that
 sometimes nobody would ever know what actually happened. Sometimes suspects
 had long stories to share, explaining how the incident happened, only to find
 out that the judge had just been paying attention for clues that make them
 believe a suspect had broken law, but not to find the truth.

 By the end of the film, the father and daughter were arrested because no one
 would believe that some angry unicorns rampaged and killed a whole family.
 Then the unicorns decided to ram the police car into the lake, helping both of
 them to escape. One more charge to go!
