"Memories of Murder" was criticized as an unsurpassable film history classic Feng Junhao, but he used a "Mother" to complete a beautiful self-counterattack. The emotional, tear-jerking, suspenseful film of the son fighting alone, the result was the shock of the final ending, and the turbulent waves could not be calmed down. The mother always believed that her son was definitely wronged. Those who can't kill must be wronged. When the police, lawyers, and other representatives of public power are unreliable because of their stupidity and arrogance, we entrust the expectation of finding out the truth of the incident to this stubborn and stubborn man who regards his son's safety more than his own life. With righteous indignation and curiosity on the elderly mother, she followed the mother's investigation point of view. The truth was peeled off layer by layer, followed by a picture of a low-level society in South Korea, such as a university professor and other high-level people in society who ran into someone but ran away and then beat themselves. Even if they are caught, the bottom-level youth who have been hit by golf will not help them, and they will even have to compensate them. The small town policeman is reckless, rude, stupid, arrogant, and arrogant. The indiscreet girl that Dao Si accused of being the "rice cake girl" was actually a poor orphan who had to raise a dementia grandmother at a young age. With a new meaning, the friend who recommended me to watch "Memories of Murder" once told me that Bong Joon-ho's movie is more interesting to watch the second time than the first. It is indeed that the son played by Won Bin is a mentally handicapped teenager and has no father orphan. The widowed mother is a typical social disadvantaged group, but it is precisely because of such defects and weaknesses that he is extremely sensitive and needs to be recognized and respected by others. There are many details in the film that show this. For example, he obviously did not damage his car. But he has to admit that the police took him to the scene to confess his guilt. There are onlookers everywhere. He not only feels honored but not ashamed. This is such an ironic and morbid self-esteem. He killed the same poor girl by mistake. The mother in the film spoiled her mentally handicapped son to the extreme. Even though she was doing this dangerous work with a knife and cutting herbs, her eyes and attention were always on. on the son outside the doorSeeing that her son was hit by a car, she rushed out like a madman. It was her hand that was cut to the point of bleeding, but she felt that it was the blood of her son. After her son was put in prison, she instinctively believed that her son was wronged and exhausted. After all the methods were useless, she began to investigate the real murderer by herself. As the truth of the incident was revealed step by step, her mental state gradually fell into a desperate situation. In the end, after learning that her son was really the murderer, her belief collapsed, but she did not want to collapse. The desperate situation is still there. Later, she didn't have time to think and react and killed the old man who was going to report his son. She also became the murderer herself, but it wasn't the most broken ending. Later, another mentally handicapped teenager was taken in by the police until she was determined to be the murderer. The son was saved, but At this time, only the mother knew whether the same poor child was wronged, whether to rescue him or wronged his mother for her own son. In the end, she chose to save her own son and sacrificed the poor boy she did not know. But the moment I saw the boy and heard that he didn't even have a mother, the mother was crying in the night that killed the old man who picked up the rags and the day that wronged the poor orphan, the mother is dead that night and day will always be a nightmare And the boulder pressed on her mother's heart. From then on, the rest of her life was restless, day and night. The last and last mother was sitting on a tourist bus. The middle-aged women were all singing and dancing in the aisle. Only the mother was in the seat. The past and the future were too heavy, but she had to live for her mentally handicapped son. The pressure and predicament made her unbearable, so she took out the needle box that she always used for other people's acupuncture, took out a needle and stuck it in her thigh. On an acupoint, she tried to help her son pierce her. She believed that the person who pierced that acupoint would forget her painful memories. After piercing the needle, her mother got up and joined the carnival crowd. She raised her hand and danced with them. It was the orange backlight at dusk. The swaying and shadowy theme of the middle carriage is sublimated here again. The dancing figures in the train have changed from blurred supporting roles to protagonists. Maybe each of them has their own overwhelmed past, but life has to go on, so they can only learn to forget. shake and danceAfter exhausting all methods to no avail, she began to investigate the real culprit herself. As the truth of the incident was revealed step by step, her mental state also fell into desperation step by step. Finally, when she learned that her son was really the murderer, her belief collapsed, but she did not want to collapse more. The desperate situation was still behind her, and she didn't have time to think and react. She killed the old man who was going to report to the crime to report his son. She also became the murderer herself, but it was not the most devastating ending. He was saved, but at this time, only the mother knew whether this poor child was wronged. Whether to save him or wronged him for her own son, her mother fell into a broken choice. In the end, she chose to save her own son and sacrificed the unknown child. the poor boy but the moment he saw the boy and heard that he didn't even have a mother the mother was crying on the night that killed the old man who picked up the rags and the day who wronged the poor orphan Mother is dead that night and day will be forever It was the nightmares and the boulders that weighed on the mother's heart.

    The mother played by Kim Hye-ja is creepy. The implication of the two suspects couldn't be more obvious: as a disadvantaged group, children with congenital intellectual disability were destined to be sacrificed from the very beginning; the difference is that one of them has a mother who loves him madly and will give everything for him.

    [Great] Feng Junhao gave me the most stamina of a work, even more than "Memories of Murder". A "counter-suspense" story about a person who searches the abyss for the "truth", but finds that he is the abyss and finally becomes the abyss. This kind of story mode of self-exploration and collapse has not been used before, but Bong Joon-ho's genius is to divide the main body of the character into two, and at the same time, the roles of mother and son are highly integrated. Interdependence and bondage, parasitism and symbiosis, self-prove and self-abandonment, they are the reflection of each other's personality, and at the same time they all reflect the abyss of each other's soul. As for Feng Junhao's lens design, it is still profound. The motion system formed by the inside and outside of the lens, the image space formed by the change of viewpoint, the shaking of wild grass, the flow of urine, and the parabola of wine bottles and stones are all so fascinating. The backlit lens design at the end can be called a highlight moment in the history of Korean film, compassion, confusion, indulgence, and forgetting. Bong Joon Ho is a true genre master.
