In "I Saw the Devil", CHOI MIN SIK confronts Lee Byunghun. One is the actor and the other is a handsome man. Both male and female audiences will inevitably be captured. This kind of movie pays more attention to the performance of the protagonists. Due to the duo, Lee Byunghun and CHOI MIN SIK’s pay must be the biggest part of the film. The layout of the movie scene and the presentation of the scene are very frugal. Try to control it within the scope of feasibility. The plot and acting skills have become the biggest attraction. This will allow the audience to experience the most authentic charm of the movie.
CHOI MIN SIK’s acting skills are really superb. A serial killer makes him shudder. This kind of acting is one of the best in South Korea. He shows a demonic character who is completely inhuman. He takes murder for pleasure and has no specific purpose. , The main attack on young women alone, the murder method is extremely cruel, this kind of people have no conscience at all.
However, his over-expression of the brutality of a murderer is somewhat unacceptable. If he can restrain himself, perhaps the character of the serial killer Zhang Jingzhe can be more credible. Maybe it’s been too long to appear in this kind of commercial film that emphasizes the conflict of plots. CHOI MIN SIK has acted too much. Compared to his performance in "Old Boy", "I Saw the Devil" is not particularly good for him. One performance. In addition, the director did not explain why Zhang Jingzhe became so brutal. If he can bring a little background to explain the characters, this will make the characters richer.
"I Saw the Devil" can be said to be cold to the end, and people can't feel a trace of warmth. Even the protagonist Su-hyun gradually became evil. Soo-hyun did nothing to avenge his fiancée. He was able to deal with Zhang Jingzhe very straightforwardly, but he repeatedly let him go, and then tortured Zhang Jingzhe during the hunt. From this perspective, Soo Hyun was also consumed by darkness and became irrational. The director showed us the battle between two beasts. Is the world really so dark? Not particularly ideal. The overall style of this film is somewhat biased and not suitable for public appreciation. Because it is too dark and cold, it seems a bit out of control in the last half hour of the film. A combination of many reasons makes this film have a certain visual impact. , But the director did not have enough control. Originally, he wanted to make a relatively commercial film, but in the end he gradually turned to a niche audience, which was counterproductive.
