Pursuit of pursuers

After watching this film, the overall feeling is depressing, but at the same time, I am reflecting on why, from private customization to where Dad is going, these so-called blockbusters are all as rotten as shit. Feng Xiaogang also roared that film critics are all idiots, refusing to admit that private customization is a cold meal in a cold meal.
The biggest impressions of
this film are: the narrative method at the beginning of this film gives me a sense of the dim lighting in the early Hong Kong police films. This dim, dim light gives a sense of restlessness and confusion. I always feel uneasy when I watch it, as if something is about to happen. The lens is constantly changing, not the static feeling of the general blockbuster, but constantly shaking, and it feels like a lens in hand.
The most impressive thing is the camera's contrast and description of the sadness and despair of the little girl and the anger and helplessness of the uncle. Visually, it is not described directly but indirectly from the perspective outside the car window, a third-party sight. The little girl was crying in the car, but the uncle kept calling and cursing loudly. The windows of the car washed down with the heavy rain, and the overlapping of the rain and the expressions on the faces of the people did not know why they blended together perfectly. The most amazing thing is the processing of sound effects. Except for the sound of rain, I can't hear anything. The intense emotion can only be seen from the expression. The rain washed away all the sins, but it also brought endless pain.
Also, I feel that Ha Jung Woo's performance in this drama is not as profound as the horror live broadcast. His portrayal of the serial killer's eyes isn't quite as vivid, mostly from the scene when he's being pressed if he's impotent. The performance is not very novel, and when I watch it, I can guess what the next step will be. It feels a little off the table.
My last favorite was the director's handling of the blood drop when Mi-jin died. The dynamic beauty of the splash is very meticulously shot, not only from the usual drop of blood from the angle of the hair falling, but also from the dynamic splash when killing people to show the audience the development of the plot. Maybe many directors have done this kind of characterization, but I personally put it up because I really feel that such a scene is very difficult to describe and shoot, and I feel great from the bottom of my heart.
At the end of the film I find it rather ironic. The policeman representing justice incarnate appeared at the last moment when the uncle killed the killer. Can't organize real crime, but can stop this kind of killing that may be considered justice in most psychology is what the police on behalf of the government can do!

    It's shocking, extremely dark, and punches to the flesh, but there are too many flaws in logic, and pig teammates don't bring such pigs.

    I almost got pissed when I saw it. Supermarket boss, you are stupid! The murderer's expression is terrifying, I didn't expect it at first, it's based on a true story.
