It is also a classic theme of the police looking for the murderer. Old stories tell new tricks. The police stand in the murderer's perspective and try different methods to solve the case.
The numbness of the murderer, indiscriminate killing, and taking advantage of the law, undoubtedly pushed the audience's anger to the extreme. As a police officer, when encountering such a case, many times, affected by the reality, one cannot persevere from beginning to end.
So the screenwriter arranged a scene where the police are also the victims. In my opinion, this is brilliant. If there is no such relationship, the police will not be able to understand the mentality of the murderer, nor will they be so tireless. We ordinary people , Often the trivialities in life will crush us, not to mention, to such a cunning and skilled murderer.
There are many novelties in the plot arrangement of this film:
1. The murderer's indifference and ruthlessness. The murderer smeared the restaurant owner's neck with a knife at the beginning of the film. There is no special reason, just to punish the police.
This film does not have a large space to talk about the murder, but it is such a bland incident that shows the hate of the murderer, and 10 lives, such a number is shocking enough.
Later, the policeman's girlfriend was murdered even though she was insulted by the real murderer and had a child. In the face of being caught, imitate the victim's appearance of asking for help before her death. Such a murderer only proves his ability to kill, which shows how terrible it is.
2. The victim and the murderer joined forces, interspersed with the plots of two major league attempts to kill the murderer, which shows the victim's deep hatred for the murderer.
3. The murderer published a book and publicly admitted that he was the murderer, just because he passed the prosecution period and unscrupulously took advantage of the law. Such an idea is really good, and he also arranged a good skin for the fake murderer. When the real culprit was found, I believed that the audience, like me, should also be dying of anger.
4. The fake murderer is trying to draw out the real murderer. It is really painstaking to create turmoil. First, he provokes the victim, and then confronts the police, expressing his remorse, pushing the media public opinion to the highest level, and causing the real murderer's jealousy. To be honest, many behaviors can be described as false.
5. Although this is a more serious and suspenseful film, in order to ease the tension, a lot of funny elements have also been added. On the one hand, the brainless fans in prison are more dramatic, on the other hand, they really satirize some brainless fans of the moment.
6. The fake murderer is also a victim, and everything is arranged by the victims and the police, which also pushes the film to a climax.
7. The policeman's girlfriend is such a beautiful and moving sister, but she was mercilessly killed, which can arouse the audience's sympathy to a higher degree. Miss sister's mother doesn't like her boyfriend. My mother didn't treat Miss sister better before her death, and her boyfriend didn't take good care of her. No doubt she is also telling us not to be mean to the people around you, because you don't know which will come first tomorrow or accident.
In general, many Korean films will magnify the current social problems in South Korea, aiming to guide people to criticize certain social phenomena from the film itself. For example, "Su Yuan" is to inform and reflect the imperfection of Korean laws and regulations. This film also strongly satirizes the issue of the current prosecution period for criminal cases in South Korea. We often say that art comes from life, and it is also higher than life. In many aspects, the film selects certain points of reality to enlarge, giving us more meaningful guidance in real life.
