The Korean film "I Am a Murderer" released in 2012 tells the story of a serial murderer's process of publishing a novel with his murderous experience and becoming a best-selling author after the prosecution period, as well as various thrilling and suspenseful stories that occurred during the period. When I watched this movie, I didn't see any movie reviews and discussions, I just watched the whole movie at one time. I have to say that the beginning of the film is quite amazing. The picture in the roadside tavern is broadcast from the TV news on the day when the prosecution period is over after the case, and the camera is zoomed away from the news picture. A scar is on the corner of the mouth. An alcoholic middle-aged criminal policeman enters the picture. With the smashed glass windows, the old events of fifteen years ago flooded into the audience's field of vision. The face-to-face confrontation between the criminal police and the murderer is reflected in the reality. This visual impact allows the audience to have a deep empathy for the blow to the criminal police caused by the failed pursuit without using too much dialogue to express.




Before getting out of my own frustration, I received that the victim's family lost their confidence in life because of the expiration of the public prosecution period. I chose to use the appropriate method-suicide to express the despair that the murderer does not have to accept legal sanctions and go unpunished. When the criminal police arrived at the home of the victim's family, who had been brought up by himself, he only had time to hear his brother's last words of despair for the world. When the little brother's body fell from the roof, it was the silent complaint of the ordinary law-abiding people in this society that the law could not defend justice, and smashed the bus window that happened to pass by. An unspoken repression.






Two years after the film was transferred, a man who claimed to be the serial murderer took the initiative to hold a press conference, and at the same time released the novel "I Am a Murderer" created by the experience of the murder case. Although the public prosecution period for all murder cases that can determine the time of death has passed, and there is no need to be punished by law, this kind of murderous madman should be cast aside by the world. However, because of his handsome face, he was asked by a female reporter, "Is my skin so good, do I do regular maintenance?" Because of people's strong desire to spy, the sales of novels have been rising all the way. The unscrupulous media who are only profiting have seen the commercial value of them. Coupled with the pursuit of fans who only look good, the author of the novel has lived a star-like life.





In the film, there is a tension between the handsome male version of the murderer and the economic man who only recognizes money: through successful whitewashing marketing, the handsome male murderer's "money way" is very good, with a group of die-hard fans and fan groups, the novel has become The best-selling book even set off a big discussion among the whole people. The economic man said with a sullen expression, "It's all planned by you! Choose a high-level expert doctor in the victim's family as the object of asking for forgiveness" and so on to compliment the beautiful male murderer, holding a red wine glass and want to clink glasses with the employer for "victory", but the beautiful male murderer said with a stern face that he does not drink, The economic man, who doesn't know how to look at his face, continued to lick his face flatteringly and said, "You still love your body so much". The handsome murderer swiped his finger along the wine glass and said without emotion, "Is it ridiculous for a murderer to love his body? '. Just as the child said at the end of the film "Memories of Murder" "is an ordinary person". Yes, it is impossible for a murderer to have "I am a murderer" engraved on his face. All the murderers who were successfully captured basically have similar descriptions in the relevant reports: they are no different from ordinary people, and some people even In the evaluation of the people around him, he is a friendly "honest person". Like all living beings, they will need to be healed when they are sick, and need to eat when they are hungry, and they will also take care of their bodies. Because of the ordinary, no one will associate the terrible words such as homicide with these people. Because of the ordinary, they often successfully lurk around the public. Because murderers don't have the perverted faces in movies and TV, we can't find them, and we can't prevent them if we can't detect them. If we can't prevent us, we can't avoid danger and make people panic. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the bad guys in the film and television works are so hard to mask. At least, the bad guys in the movie can be distinguished at a glance.




If the movie follows this line, the murderer will publish a book after the indictment period expires, sign the book, participate in various TV activities, donate the proceeds of the book to public welfare, kneel down to the victim's family and beg for forgiveness, etc. Ways to whitewash yourself, and then use the popularity and influence you have accumulated for marketing. Just thinking about it makes the hair harden and shudder. If this kind of setting was placed ten years ago, it might have been suspected of being grandstanding, but now I have seen all kinds of washings derived from the idea of ​​"beauty is justice", and "sleeping powder" can be washed as a benefit. Drug use can be washed into the search for creative inspiration, and even more directly and openly clamor for "the legalization of drugs". The media completely disregards social morals and morals, and only for the ratings, any kind of star can be invited to do the show. Only if you have the so-called exposure rate, whether it is positive or negative, the media will come to you, whether it is a show or a TV movie, in short, economic benefits will follow. Filming in this way can not only sharply criticize the unscrupulous media for all kinds of mercenary ugliness, but also torture the ordinary people, especially those who are blindly chasing stars and those who only look after their idols.

When selling ugly as a gimmick, showing off wealth as fashion, exposing scandals, and becoming famous for plagiarism, all kinds of XX Internet celebrities, XX writers, and XX actors can be fair and open in various TV programs, TV movies, and various video websites. Even plagiarized works are grandly adapted into other derivative peripherals, so that these people who should be like rats crossing the street, not only do they not have to pay any price for their actions, but they are surrounded by the spotlight while earning a lot of money. '. The deformed value of laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes seems to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the help of these media without any sense of social responsibility. The film only looks at interests but pretends to be a human rights lawyer who respects human rights, because characters such as the bookstore owner who sells books for petty profits represent a part of society.

It is a pity that the film gave up this angle that can sublimate the film, and instead pulled out the alliance of victims' families similar to "Reunion". In my opinion, Brother Suicide has been able to express the injuries suffered by the victim's family members very well and it is very shocking, but the impact of that paragraph was diluted by other family members who appeared later. Assassination and rescue, speeding and fighting, such scenes are not uncommon in many movies. No matter how well they are shot, they are at best an exquisite mass-produced industrial commodity with little value at all. Instead, the rhythm of the film is cut into pieces. A neatly told story can be stretched to 120 minutes.

The most failure is the so-called reversal of the film's plot: a masked man J who claims to be the real murderer appears, and Mr. J almost engraves the words "I am a murderer" on his face with a wretched face. Such a facialized and routine plot is really not a reversal but a routine, okay? At the end, it just happened that the last victim had a deeper set of routines during the prosecution period. Screenwriter, are you writing this to maintain the current legal provisions of the criminal prosecution period in South Korea? Or do you want to show that the current legal provisions of the criminal prosecution period are not conducive to protecting the rights and interests of victims and their families? After struggling for a long time, I finally found the real murderer and it was still in the prosecution period. The murderer was still so smart and went to the national live broadcast program waiting to be caught, but he ran away in front of everyone's eyes. Seeing this, I really can't help but want to ask, screenwriter, are you kidding me! Not only did he run away, but he also passed the prosecution period. After a round of tossing, our criminal police chose to lynch the murderer's life and paid the price of five years of freedom.

The appearance of Mr. J undermined the irony of the beautiful male killer's profit from his face in the previous film. The setting of the beautiful male killer as a young man who jumped off the building even lessened the shocking power of suicide on social and legal complaints. Digging a hole for yourself is also convincing the screenwriter. Cut off the scenes of the family members of the Fulian, and remove Mr. J, the wretched uncle who looks like a murderer, and talk about the confrontation between a criminal policeman and a perverted killer neatly? If someone talks about the age of the beautiful male killer, they can also talk about the topic of juvenile crime. Reckless and cruel methods are often the characteristics of many juvenile crimes. Suppose the beautiful male killer committed a bloody crime when he was a minor fifteen years ago. , but calmly evaded all investigations, and after many years of hype with the murder experience, it was a proper horror film.

Objectively speaking, although this film is not a masterpiece, it is absolutely qualified as a commercial film. I just think it wastes the amazing setting of the opening, and I think it can be made better.



The following is the author's own after-sale

video. People who eat melons in China who have watched the film should not panic. This kind of thing will never happen in our country. I will provide after-sales service for netizens who read this article, and learn about the statute of limitations in my country's criminal law for free.

First of all, in our country's regulations on the prosecution period for criminal cases, it can be said that basically no criminals dare to jump out arrogantly to brush their presence after such a big case. Why? Because the relevant provisions of China's criminal law are as follows:

Article 87 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that no prosecution shall be made for a crime after the following time limits:

① If the legal maximum penalty is less than 5 years of fixed-term imprisonment, the statute of limitations for prosecution shall be 5 years.

② Where the maximum statutory sentence is more than 5 years but less than 10 years in prison, the statute of limitations for prosecution shall be 10 years.

③ If the legal maximum sentence is fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years, the statute of limitations for prosecution is 15 years.

④ If the legal maximum punishment is life imprisonment or death, the limitation period for prosecution is 20 years. If it is deemed necessary to prosecute after 20 years, it must be reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval, and the prosecution can still be pursued.

Paragraph 1 of Article 88 of the "Criminal Law" stipulates: "After the people's procuratorate, public security organ, state security organ has filed a case for investigation, or the people's court has accepted the case, those who evade investigation or trial are not subject to the limitation of the time limit for prosecution." The extension of the time limit for prosecution must be The following conditions must be met:

First, the people's procuratorate, public security organ, or state security organ has already filed a case for investigation or the people's court has accepted the case. This is a precondition for the extension of the statute of limitations.

Second, if the victim files a complaint within the time limit for prosecution, and the people's court, the people's procuratorate, and the public security organ should file a case but do not file a case, the time limit for prosecution is not limited.

According to the provisions of my country's Criminal Law on the statute of limitations for prosecution, there is only one situation in which you can successfully avoid being prosecuted. The legal maximum sentence (20 years) is possible to evade legal sanctions. Why do I say it is possible, because my "Criminal Law" still has the killer's bullet: "If you think that you must prosecute after 20 years, you must report to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval, and you can still prosecute." After killing a group of people, after 20 years with neither the body found nor the victim's family reporting the crime, he then jumped out to announce the crime and challenge the bottom line of the society, causing a huge negative impact on the society. Zhang legal ruling can teach him to be a man. As for publishing a book, the additional punishment of "deprivation of political rights for life" is the time to show off your sense of existence. Yes, publishing rights are also included in this. All serious criminal offenses that should be sentenced to life imprisonment or more will also be deprived of political rights. Right for life. Even if there is a criminal who conceals the fact that he has been deprived of political rights in a deceptive way and wants to deceive a publishing house to publish a book for him, there is still the crime of imparting the method of crime waiting for him (the crime of teaching the method of crime refers to the use of words, words, actions, images or Other methods are the behavior of imparting the methods and skills of committing crimes to others.) Therefore, in China, even if you are a genius criminal, you can really get away with it, but if you want to live in peace, you have to be a human being all your life.
