      just watched

      Seeing this is really brain-burning. I really didn't understand it the first time, but after brushing it twice, I finally understood a little bit.

      This movie is called the Murderer's Memory Method, and it uses the vision of a murderer to describe everything he encountered. In fact, a sentence from the male protagonist at the end woke me up, that the memory is not reliable. It makes me feel that when we are obsessed with certain parts of the movie to define the experience of the...

      scare people to death

      There are no damn people in this world, and the world doesn't need a person who wants to be a referee, because everyone has their own destiny. In this film, Kim Byung-soo is like a particularly good intelligent robot that becomes confused after being implanted with a virus (dementia). It is only after the human brain is ill that it finds that it can be so powerful and has the logic it should have. Two-thirds of the way through the movie, I almost thought everything was just his delusion. But...

      Split personality symptoms in Alzheimer's patients?

      On the plus side, the book itself is good, and the male protagonist's performance is also very hard. The bad aspect is that the more you look back, the more difficult it is to distinguish whether it is the male protagonist's fantasy. If Min was imagined by the male protagonist himself, then it means that the whole situation is basically based on the male protagonist's own fantasy, and the director deliberately seduces the audience like this is too much, and it does not conform to the...

      Human nature is never only one side!

      The suspense movie that flips several times is my favorite type! At the beginning of the movie, Bingxiu was introduced as a murderer with a continuous history of doing evil. The character of the villain was established directly, but he found a bad policeman Min Taezhu who was going to threaten the life of his daughter, the body in the back compartment, the recording of the tape recorder, All support their point of view, and they are also subdued in their fight! But the...

      virtual memory virtual brain

      The whole 2h struggles with which part is real and which part is fantasy, and the answer is not given until the last few minutes of the film. It makes the viewing process very tiring. The story itself is good, but not well told.

      Memory is a kind of information that can be created by the human brain, tampered with, or erased.

      Memory can be arbitrarily organized and deconstructed by subjective consciousness; then, if memory...

      This story is attracted by just reading the introduction. It is a very good setting. There are also creepy places in the filming, but I always feel that it is not clear. I read everyone's reasoning, and I think it is reasonable but not so reasonable. This kind of feeling shows that the film itself is still lacking,...

      Old Xue's god-level acting skills can't save the convoluted script. I feel that the director wants to rely on multiple personalities, a hodgepodge of various suspense types, and the final ending is WTF. Give me Xue an emotional score. I, Xue Silver, with short hair and age spots, are so handsome. I am so excited to imagine that he is so handsome at his age in the film!...

      After watching it, I was so excited that I wanted to pay homage to Xue Jingqiu, who was so talented in acting as a god. Definitely one of the greatest father figures in film history. A murderer with Alzheimer's disease and paranoia, and a father who desperately wants to protect his daughter. The suspenseful stories such as "Memento" and "Hurricane Rescue" are combined, with ups and downs, making the audience extremely worried. The ending is expected and a little procrastinated, superfluous. But...

      Two and a half stars. Han Ying is really getting more and more proficient at playing gimmicks. A crime story with fragmented memory is abruptly held back by emotional scenes that occupy most of the time. From the concept to the story, it's all left over by others, and it's hard for Xue Geng to act so hard. However, such a script is in line with the simple and rude tastes of mainland filmmakers, and a wave of remakes is...

      I thought I understood it, but I was confused by the ending. After reading the explanations of two main voices, I seem to be more inclined to say that the second male lead does not exist. Although many of them cannot be explained clearly, there is a The confusion is that there is no more information behind the uncle's mother to explain the follow-up development, while the second male provides a message about the mother. (Also, this may add a little mysterious and esoteric color to the film,...

    Movie plot

    Kim Byung- soo ( Sol Kyung-gu ), a former chain killer, is now an Alzheimer's patient. In an accidental accident, he meets the man Min Tae Joo ( Kim Nam Gil ) and finds that he has the same eyes as his own. Kim Byung-soo's intuition told him that Min Tae-joo was also a murderer. Kim Bing-soo planned to go to the police station to report Min Tae-joo, but found that Min Tae-joo was a member of the police station, and no one believed Kim...

    Evaluation action

    On the train track in front of the quiet Snow Mountain Tunnel, a man stood blankly, half of his face convulsed. His eyes are full of confusion, this is a serial killer with Alzheimer's disease. The mysterious face featured in the first act of the film is arguably the most memorable scene in the film, and Sol Kyung-gu doesn't rely on makeup, so the film doesn't have the visual feel of a horror movie. In this film, the fragments of truth...
