On December 8, 2023, a case that shocked the world in a U.S. court came into focus. Semuel Haskell, a wealthy second-generation Hollywood man, is accused of killing his Chinese wife, Mei, and her parents, Wang Yanxiang and Li Gaoshan. After the incident, Semuel Haskell appeared in court and was decided to remain in custody. However, some details of the case have not yet been confirmed, and the hearing has been postponed until January 12, 2024.
May's parents are willing to leave home to take care of their daughter in the United States, and May does not hesitate to bear a heavy financial burden for the family, while Haskell pays more than $7,000 in mortgage on May alone. In addition, Mei also runs a study abroad consulting company and takes on the financial pressure of her family. The tragedy seems to reflect the challenges and dilemmas faced by cross-cultural families. May's family life seems to be peaceful and happy, but in fact it hides burdens and difficulties.
The discovery of what appears to be human remains by construction workers, as well as the discovery of duffel bags containing female limbs in dumpsters, reveal the horrific truth of this family tragedy. The depiction of Samuel Haskell's neighbor and May's friend also shows the other side of his addiction to ** and making bloody and violent films, in sharp contrast to his quiet, reserved appearance.
From Sémur Haskell's point of view, his actions may have been the result of a combination of factors. His interest in ** and the filming of bloody and violent films may indicate his inclination towards violence and gore, while the burden and pressure on his family may have contributed to his psychological state of anxiety and depression. In addition, the challenges and dilemmas that come with a cross-cultural marriage may also have had an impact on his mental health.
In terms of social circumstances, Hollywood's rich second-generation culture and glorification of violence may also have had an impact on Semuel Haskell.
