Hugo gets off the hook??

bump

Hmmm. That's actually an interesting question. I always just assumed that he ended up in jail, since it's pretty strongly implied that Iago is executed in Othello. However, in Othello there were a lot more witnesses; I don't remember the details, but by the end Gratiano, Montano, Lodovico, and Cassio all know what happened. Technically Hugo has no witnesses except Brandy.

However, I'm pretty sure that whoever posted above me is right. He just means that people will notice him. And they already have, really; that is the one good point (to him) about being exposed.

i rewatched that scene where the girl was saying hugo u begged me to steal that scarf and he shot her.i thought the other teammate and odin and brandi were in the room,but in fact its just hugo and odin and the two dead girls.the other two walked out after the arguing started and after seeing the dead girl desi.so actually odin was the only witness.but heres the rub.hyow did brandi know hugo killed mike and roger,when she arrived to see hugo approach the car saying call 911 and mike and roger were already down?she didnt see anything,yet she flew back to the dorm saying omg mike is dead and roger,and those guys say what happenned and she says hugo killed em.well she didnt see that.what everyone did see was hugo walk in with the gun he got from the scene where he shot roger and roger shot mike,and also hugo clubbed mike.but hugo wasnt seen with the gun in the dorm till he pulled it and shot his whore.so even brandi didnt see him do that either.nor the other teammate.only odin did.then i will say the other teammate did see him walk out with it and shoved him over and kicked it away,but even then he only heard a shot and saw him holding it shortly after,didnt witness him shoot anyone.and all of it was cancelled out due to odin picking the gun up distraught and ranting breaking down then committing suicide.but it does make sense based on brandi seeing hugo on the road with 2 bodies,then hearing the argument about hugo and the scarf,mixed with the shot,him leaving the room with the gun,and the other kid seeing him holding it,all that could clear odin who is dead anyways,but it makes it logical that hugo be arrested since he was the centerpiece of every body and death at the end.







spectre can

suck it.

Depends if Michael lives or not.

We see a stretcher being put into an ambulance at the scene, and the paramedics dont seem to be rushing around it like they would if the person was alive. So the implication is that Michael was dead. (It definitely wasnt Roger, because he was still on the ground; and I aint talking about the separate scene were a clearly dead Desi is put into the ambulance and her father is on hand).

If Michael is dead, then there is only circumstantial evidence against Hugo. But it is quite strong circumstantial evidence.

He has prints on 2 murder weapons (the crowbar and the gun). (Which doesnt prove he was the killer. He can explain this easily).

He will have powder burns etc showing that he fired the gun, plus Roger's blood splatter. (He will have to admit killing Roger, and claim self defence. He can deny killing Emily.)

He got the gun from the pawnbroker. (If the pawnbroker can be found, then Hugo is screwed. But the pawnbroker might not be traced.)

It might be possible to tie the glass in Desi's room to Hugo. (But so what. In itself, that proves nothing whatsoever).


With a good lawyer, he should walk.

I was thinking the same thing- not in relation to the monolouge but that based on character assessment Hugo was to slick and would get himself off the hook.

For any prosecution lawyer, this would be incredibly easy to convict him.
1)Yes he shoots Emily, he comes out of the room with the gun!! the other guy tackles him, and then Odin picks the gun up after that..So the police will find that Hugo did, in fact, shoot Emily.

Plus, Michael could still be alive..

ALSO, he TAKES the weapons from the previous crime...why would any innocent bystander take the gun? This would definitely link him to the other crime. They will find the crowbar as well as the thing that Emily stole for Hugo in Hugo's possession(it's in his car) ! When they find that shirt thing, they will use that for conspiracy and murder.

As far as what he said at the end, I wasn't paying close attention to it, sorry I can't help about that.

I don't think that's how his little speech was meant to be interpreted. It meant that all his life he's wanted to stand out. During the movie notice that Hugo is not popular, nor is he unpopular, he's somewhere in the middle, he's mediocre. His grades are good but nothing to get excited about, his father doesn't pay much attention to him, especially since he's just okay at basketball. Throughout the movie you can tell how much he wants his father's attention, which is why he plotted Odin's demise. Odin was who he wanted to be, Odin was the one could "soar above everything and everyone." In his speech he compares Odin to the hawk, and he describes the hawk as "proud, powerful, determined, dark." He also says "Even though all the other birds probably wanna be hawks, they hate him for what they can't be." Basically his end speech was just him finally saying how he felt about Odin and explained why he did what he did. As far as him getting away with everything, I don't think he could have beat the system. He's obviously smart, but not that smart, and due to his personality, I think there's a part of him that would tell all, as his plan was quite genius and he will gain some recognition and finally stand out, which is what he's always wanted. Furthermore, he did shoot Emily but that doesn't mean that she died, she could have survived that shot, and people could have heard Emily, Hugo, and Odin's conversation that they had in the room, plus Odin's speech before he died will definitely put suspicion on Hugo. And lastly, Michael did not die.

The thing is... I don't think Hugo WANTS to get away with it. I think he wants to show the world how clever he is and how he manipulated everyone. Some people think prison is a price worth paying just to get the attention they want.
