But the surprising thing to me is that this movie hasn't generated any copycat stuff in real life, you would've thought the genius of his work would've done such

I hear you in theory, but frankly I don't believe you (or anyone else I know) would be thinking that logically in the heat of the moment with your true love's head in a box AND she was carrying your now never-to-be-born baby. And if you are capable of thinking that clearly under such circumstances you'd be a droid and no one would have married you anyways![]()
If I'm not mistaken, Pitt got away with killing that character.
Yes, you are mistaken...I'm pretty sure in the end he was being driven away in the back of a squad car.
Of course he could always plead temporary insanity later, but that wasn't part of the movie...
I guess I always watched that scene with the idea in mind that no jury would convict him.
In real world situations where someone is inspired to kill someone in a fit of rage as retaliation for something truly horrible done, juries will sometimes recommend "time served" as the sentencing if conviction occurs.
In other cases, no conviction even occurs because the jury sympathizes with the defendant.
Granted, as you said, we never see Pitt's character in court, so it's not known what his ultimate fate is.
I concur. There's no way he'd go to jail for killing a serial killer who had offed 6 people and beheaded his wife. I can't see how any jury would ever convict him in that situation. There is a very good possibility that he'd lose his job for it though.
