Legend of the villain

The whole film I saw that the gang boss is not a villain. . Gangsters are like bad guys in form and police officers are like bad guys in spirit. The meaning may be that since human nature is inherently evil, the only solution is to become a recognized evil person first. But some people still can't solve this problem after they have become villains in form, then this person is the real villain, so we should write a biography for this person and call it the biography of the villain. However, due to lack of motivation, he is forced to put on a hat of childhood shadows and mental illness, which makes this villain less evil. So even though it's called The Legend of the Evil, the whole movie still doesn't solve the problem of what is really evil. Evil is not evil enough, and everyone is useless. You look at the gang boss who dares to ride on his head, the policeman who was forced to join forces with the gang, and the serial murderer who tried to kill and was almost killed. The scenes of the alley chase and the killing of the female middle school students have the shadow of murderous memories. Korean crime movies like to play justice and existence and nothingness. The problem with this black-and-white film is what to do with the underworld in the end. The treatment of this film is to surrender the underworld in exchange for the death penalty for the killer. Not to mention whether this motivation is reasonable or not, the problem is that it avoids the trap of small values ​​and falls into the trap of big values. Underworld surrender makes the most moral underworld the biggest victim, and the unbelievable police the biggest beneficiary. It is not worth exchanging this incongruity for judicial justice and content justice, as well as the bad ending of the bad guy and the venting of the audience's anger. It is also a movie about a mentally ill murderer who catches the public indignation of black and white. After 60 years, the depth is still far less than M is the murderer

    Qualified popcorn movie, suitable for theatrical evening viewing. Jin Wuyeol's acting skills were a little embarrassing at the beginning and gradually improved. I inexplicably like Ma Dong-seok's No. 1 younger brother ㅠ Very sad at the end ㅠ But after watching so many similar films of Ma Dong-seok, from the police to the gang, this is the first time I saw his naked upper body hahaha
