Beyond, you think you are Zhao Zuohai

When my friend An Dong recommended this South Korean crime movie, he only said two words: Niu X. In line with the principle of "Recommended by Anton, it must be a good film", I watched this film earnestly and devotedly, and I was really shocked. I have always felt that Japanese crime movies are very abnormal, relying on bloody scenes to disgust people, even as good as Takeshi Kitano, they also use sudden violence to stimulate the nerves of the audience. South Korean crime movies are less exciting, but their plots are often amazing. I have watched "Memories of Murder" before. The very scattered and gray plot makes the scalp numb, and it is much darker than ordinary Hollywood-style crime movies. The Koreans will be as calm as the Chinese, and will lead you into an intricate network with ease, arouse your curiosity, and eventually tell you that there is no solution to this question. "Unforgivable" has a total of two hours. If you just watch the first half, you can hardly see anything outstanding; if you watch the first 50 minutes, you will feel that it is nothing more than that; but when you finish watching the ending, you will be admired. . In the last 10 minutes, the mediocrity of the first 50 minutes has been turned into a quiet foreshadowing. This is the best part of the film. The movie tells a story about revenge and redemption, in which various feelings that should have been deep become fires of revenge. A homicide case was discovered by the river. The deceased was a naked woman, with her body cut into six pieces, and her torso, limbs and head joined together. The police flower who just debuted, under the guidance of his teacher, who is also the number one forensic doctor in South Korea, easily brought the murderer to justice. Seeing the forensic doctor dissecting the dead like cutting vegetables, the scene is really like a horror movie. However, this movie is more terrifying than a horror movie. As the plot deepens, the forensic doctor fell into a perjury case he did ten years ago and fell into a trap that was designed long ago. He tried his best to escape and hoped. Before my eyes, I didn't expect to fall into deeper darkness at the last moment. Sister-in-law relationship, father-daughter relationship, teacher-student relationship, love, sisterhood...what should be beautiful is everywhere but death. The movie reminds you not to do bad things, especially things that cause harm to others in their lives, or you will be crucified sooner or later. Both the perpetrator and the victim will suffer for life, and hatred is spread all over the body like cancer. The harder thing than hatred is salvation. You cannot forget the sins you have committed, and you may end up sacrificing yourself. Everyone has a nightmare, and that is the person you have hurt. There are wonderful descriptions of this in Jin Yong’s "Lian Cheng Jue". For example, those who eat their own brothers worry about their souls for their lives; those who kill their wives and put their bodies in the walls continue to build walls in their dreams every day. . However, the Chinese still have a feeling of reunion, and they like to leave a little hope at the end. Korean movies have abandoned this, so it is darker. I think there is another ethical issue raised in the movie: the relationship between the father and his daughter's body. In this movie, the forensic doctor personally dissected his daughter's body while being deceived, and destroyed the body, implanting the man's semen into his daughter's body. It was this point that caused the forensic medicine to finally collapse. This person, who has always claimed to adhere to scientific ideas, fell apart under the impact of this ethics. Compared with the Electra complex, this heavy ethics has always been a forbidden zone, which makes people ashamed to think about it. In Oliver Stone's movie "Born to Killer", the killer said: "My moment of purity is better than your life of lies." In this movie, I am afraid the protagonist will say: "The moment when my conscience flashes." , Is better than your hypocritical life." Because you have a conscience, you will suffer when you do evil, and you can't forgive yourself even more. If you don't believe me, look at the rose petals in the bathtub at the end, how tragic. Of course, there are also some interesting things in the movie. For example, the subtitles are very advanced with the times. It seems that the people in Qingdao did it. How could there be standard censuses? For example, the police officer said to the suspect: "Beyond, you think you are Zhao Zuohai!"

    Just as shocking as the "old boy" is the perverted ending. What makes us the devil? The wife is heartbroken. . .

    Good evil, good powerful ending. The whole story is designed for the end. If you turn around and think about it, you will find a big loophole. Well, it won't be spoiled. The front is less boring, and the suspense is not enough, but for the end, it is still worth watching. There are many exquisite crime subjects in South Korea. The national psychology of this country is really interesting.
