From the plot to the atmosphere, this film has a strong taste of noir film. The background of the film is a crime, and it is a very dark case of serial rape and murder by a perverted killer, and it can especially reveal the dark side of human psychology. In addition, the policeman in the film is not the kind of personification of justice that is particularly masked, and there is also a dark inside story such as execution to extract a confession, especially Tae-yoon from Seoul shows the complex and dark side of the character's psychology. As for the atmosphere in the film, it has always been a little dignified, and there are often the darkness of rainy nights and the rendering of sin, which highlights a dark direction.
Since Freud, people are no longer ashamed to analyze and show the human heart from the perspective of sex. In film and television works, crimes related to sex, combined with criminals who often have dual personalities, are also commonly used thrillers. elements. In this film, until the end, there is no official recognized murderer. The mysterious serial killer in the film haunts the grass and the woods like this, taking the lives of women. At the same time, he played mind games with the police, tormenting the minds of Doo-man and Tae-yoon who were investigating the case. This torture continued until the end of the film. Doo-man had already given birth to white hair, and he could not forget this mysterious case. .
I think the one who can't forget his case the most should be Tae-yoon. No doubt, this is a young police officer full of energy and ambition. At the beginning of the film, he appears rational and calm, which contrasts and complements the reckless Doo-man, making him the best partner. But, after all, what he is dealing with is a cruel crime committed by a cruel criminal. On the one hand, he needs to understand the case more deeply, and even go deeper into the criminal's heart and role to figure out the criminal's psychology; Don't go too deep, because if you go too deep into it, it will become "falling into", and you will not be able to extricate yourself when you fall into a kind of black psychology. In the American film "8mm", Nicholas. The private detective played by Cage entered a black criminal world when investigating a case, unable to extricate himself, almost collapsed, and fell into a deep nightmare. Tae-yoon also has such a performance. At first, he handled the case with a rational attitude, corrected the mistakes of his colleagues, and at the same time approached the criminal step by step. However, when his efforts failed every time, innocent women died during this period. In Huang Quan, his spirits became more and more unbearable, especially after a suspect he thought was a criminal was arrested. He was caught in a moral anxiety. On the one hand, as a policeman, he had to rely on evidence to decide the case. On the other hand, he could no longer bear the murder of the next woman. Finally, when another woman was killed, and it was the girl he had been in contact with, his mind collapsed, and he hysterically beat the suspect under surveillance. He was no longer the calm and gentle police officer he used to be. A victim who fell into a dark mood and couldn't extricate himself, yes, at this moment he also became a victim of a criminal, a victim of a soul. The hysterical part of Tae-yoon was very exciting. After beating the suspect, he threw the suspect onto the rails in front of the tunnel entrance and said fiercely, "If I kill you, no one will care." They are facing the tunnel entrance, and the end of the tunnel is endless darkness. In my opinion, the tunnel symbolizes a dark magnetic field, and Tae-yoon, who is getting lost in a dark case, has become more and more completely dark after all. In the end, the test from the United States that he hoped to prove proved that the sinner in his eyes was innocent. At this time, he was already hopelessly numb. Seeing the suspect walk into the dark tunnel, he shot desperately, but he couldn't change it. The fate of surrendering to darkness.
And it's not just Tae-yoon who suffers this kind of torture, but Doo-man, who seems casual and optimistic on the surface, is not like this, especially when he hopes to seek clues from the mentally handicapped man he once beaten as a suspect. , but the ending was in the dark night, when he saw him being hit by a train to death, intertwined with unwillingness and guilt, he looked at the photo of the suspect and breathed heavily. There is also Doo-man's colleague in the film, who always stands out only when he beats people. At first, he appears to be a simple-minded, rough-hearted police officer who is often seen in film noir. And it's worth noting that when he was violent to the suspect, both Doo-man and Tae-yoon appeared to be indifferent, and there was no obvious dissuasion. It seems to imply that violence is common in the police world, implying that an agency used to suppress darkness has a dark side, and in such an environment, Doo-man's colleague is also constantly simplistic and violent. The constant vicious circle, finally unable to bear the pressure after being punished once, escaped from reality by violent venting, and such self-destructive venting is often the end of such characters who cannot extricate themselves in the dark, so he finally Facing the fate of amputation, at the moment on the operating table, the alarm seemed so pitiful and sad.
There has never been a clear-pointed criminal in the film, which symbolizes the secret place behind the darkness. He chose to commit the crime at a fixed time such as a rainy night, and the modus operandi was basically the same, but it was more tyrannical again and again. On the other hand, he will choose to play a love song on demand when committing a crime, as if to create an aesthetic atmosphere of death in his heart. This was a distinctly split personality, and he seemed so fitting when the last suspect of all suspicions arose. His long eyebrows are beautiful and he looks very weak. Often many tyrannical things are done by seemingly weak and inconspicuous people. When he faced the interrogation, he appeared calm but revealed a faint evil spirit. If you ask him, you will also suddenly snarl hysterically. Viewers who have watched many similar double-personality suspects on trial should not be unfamiliar with such scenes. Although this character appears in the later part of the film, I think the actor who plays the role is still very good, and the expression and eyes during the interrogation are quite the temperament of split personality.
At the end of the film, the old Doo-man came to the place where the victim's body was found. Perhaps he was also recalling the corpses he found in the long-term case, and he may not realize that because By a coincidence, his wife escaped. At the end of this film, there is no fun feeling of punishing evil and promoting good. On the contrary, it leaves a somewhat gloomy ending. From a certain point of view, this is also the success of this film, which makes it go beyond the ordinary crime films and end with a gloomy ending. The psychology of the characters in the process of detecting a crime reveals more things that are worthy of the audience's aftertaste.
