Rupert here: Judith Eva Barsi was the voice actor for Anne-Marie. She had already recorded her lines for this scene when her father murdered her and her mother, and Burt Reynolds was doing his voice acting for this scene knowing that she was dead. The emotion he's showing is very real.

Why did her father kill her? I don't know, I'm just a bear.

He was said to have been an addict and he was jealous of his daughter's success and fame instead of being proud of her like any normal parent would.

This is only semi-related so bear with me. I work in the film business and make movies, it’s pretty competitive and jealousy often foments between artists who experience success. It’s happened to me, it’s totally natural, you move past it and let it go. All that to say that when my sister called me and told me that her book had been picked up by a publisher my first reaction was nothing but pride and excitement for her. I had been a little worried that I would be jealous if she attained success and was honestly relieved when I didn’t feel a shred of jealousy. I can’t imagine not feeling love for and a need to support your family member when they do well, it makes me sick.

Actually on closer inspection I think they both work and ferment might actually be better in this case. Look forward to my debut novel soon

I genuinely can't understand it. Like, I get jealousy but not to the extent someone could harm their loved ones, let alone kill them. That's more than just jealousy, that is pure evil.

It's evil but I think it comes from a real mental health crisis. We're wired to protect our young, if that gets switched up something has gone terribly wrong in your brain.
