"I'm a Murderer": The real murderer is not the point, irony is real

One thing to remember when watching this movie is that this is not a serious crime movie. At first I thought it was a movie of the genre like "Memories of Murder" and "The Chaser", but after seeing it, I felt a little bit of "Kind Gold" and "Seeing the Devil". It suddenly dawned on me, who is the real culprit is not the point. This process can achieve the effect of accusing irony is what this movie wants to express.

The reason why I guessed the wrong movie genre at first is because this style of crime thriller mystery film is already in mass production in South Korea. Basically, there are a few movies every year, and the quality is also uneven. This movie "I am a murderer" "The big frame is clichéd. The surprise is that the whole film is full of irony and ridicule. He turned a series of murders that should have been serious and a little sad into a big revelation of the faces of people from all walks of life. From this, I thought of the starring Zheng Zheng. Zai Yong's other film "Live with Will" is all about using oneself, serious performance, self-deprecating spirit. The film is well-controlled in rhythm. The hunting scene at the beginning is the favorite, the car fight in the middle and the archery scenes of the female archer are very dazzling. There are many small climaxes, and sometimes they are thrilling and suspenseful, sometimes funny, and a variety of emotional transformations. It also makes the audience see more high.

A perverted killer who killed 10 people a decade ago attacked and abused a police officer and fled. After the 15-year statute of limitations, Li Doushi, who claimed to be the real murderer, appeared suddenly and published a record of that year. The autobiography of all criminal facts, "I Am a Murderer", became a social figure for a time. Not only did the published autobiography sell out, but because of his handsome appearance, he became a popular idol star with countless fans. Then, another mysterious person who called himself J announced that he was the real murderer, and a popular South Korean show specially invited the parties to have a debate. It is bound to argue about who is the real murderer.

Do you think this is really ridiculous? Indeed, the movie may have enlarged some details, but we can look at some real examples. In May 2012, a Canadian student was brutally murdered. Afterwards, the police released a photo of the suspect Maniota, and some people commented that he was "really handsome". In February 2013, "I Am a Murderer" male star Park Si Hoo was reported as suspected of being raped, and his fans immediately questioned and said, "If you can be raped by such a man, the woman will not live in vain." It can be seen that, in fact, movies come from life, but they are not necessarily higher than life. In this society where the media and the Internet are constantly open, some speeches and actions are indeed constantly pushing the lower limit and ruining the three views.

The film has several points very well set up. At the murderer’s new book launch, the female reporter was attracted by his handsome appearance. Forgot about professional ethics and asked about the murderer’s skin care experience. The female student fan group was hurt because the idol was about to be the real murderer. The lawyer sympathized with the murderer and shed tears of hypocrisy, and the whole tracking incident of the TV station was even more a huge irony. The video of the murderer Mr. J's hidden body was broken into by passers-by, and his real body was actually a sissy narcissistic uncle. The real murderer was revealed. The appearance of these sneer points at the moment of opening the advertisement is to push this farce to the peak, reaching the climax of the movie's irony.

The setting of "The Alliance of the Families of the Dead" in the movie is really boring. Although I know that I want to play the role of tear gas and human torture in Korean movies, I really did not reach that point. Instead, I feel that it is a bit tasteless. In the end, it has to be in the law. Find a topic between human nature. In fact, all the climaxes have been scattered before, and I was already high during the commercial break, so I didn’t watch all the scenes after the truck rush, and the warm little ending can be ignored. In short, watch One thing to remember about this movie is that this is not a serious movie.

    The number of episodes of South Korean crime films has been increased by one level, and the murderer who has been hidden for 17 years has been dug out with a layout comparable to that of a reality show. It's a pity that the second half is sluggish, otherwise it would be great. PS Brain Remnant Fan Xiaotaimei really does not care about China, Japan and South Korea, they are all wonderful flowers blooming...

    It's a nonsense case, but the editing, special effects, fighting, etc. are all well done. It's a qualified popcorn movie.
