13. Woman Shoots Husband For Popping Gum Chicago
I liked Chicago, and the song Cell Block Tango is witty, well-shot and features some brilliant performances on film, mainly from an eventual Oscar-winning Catherine Zeta-Jones. What the song concerns itself with is why the women Roxie shares the murder trial cellblock with are in jail with her. And being fair, theres a couple of awesome excuses, mainly centring around crimes of passion for example Zeta-Jones Velma Kelly killed her sister and husband after she finds them having sex with each other. However, among the identikit murders woman stabs husband in frenzied self-defence, woman kills man for hiding six wives theres a standout death, if only for how over-the-top it is. Namely, one of the merry murderesses killed her husband for nothing more than popping gum. Now, Im aware that if you live with somebody for a long time, youre going to get annoyed with their little tics right down to the way they breathe and I can understand how somebody might find popping gum irritating. However, what usually happens in these situations is that you talk it over, or just offer up idle threats. Even if they call your bluff, theres plenty of options you can take, such as packing a bag and leaving. However, this murderess chose to empty a shotgun into her husbands head, in possibly the biggest overreaction to domestic strife ever committed to celluloid. Honestly, I dont understand how shes not the person who breaks the record for the first Chicago female hanging in aeons she seemed far more unrepentant than the Eastern European girl.
