The lackeys of the globalized capitalist East

Among oriental films, South Korea has been devoured the most by the west. This has something to do with South Korea being a small country.
In the final shot of "Memories of Murder", the hero looks at the camera and points to confusion. Representing a small country to survive the drift and imitation of globalization. (The last shot of "Exhausted".)
From the actor's performance, the deliberate humor and exaggeration make the film more detached and escaping from the country. It is a commercial film mixed with Western concepts.
All the Korean films I saw became the lackeys of the globalized capitalist East.

    A gentle love song on a rainy night. You think you know, but in fact you never know who the murderer is. A police officer who abused torture to extract a confession wearing military boots and kicked people eventually lost a leg because of tetanus. The endless golden rice fields, the warm wind and sunshine in the countryside, as if nothing had happened.

    Not as good as expected, unfortunately. A case of repeated knockdown and reconstruction, a group of helpless policemen trapped in reality. This case is not a demonstration of reasoning and criminal investigation, but a venting of the helplessness of the criminal police profession. The murderer is indeed the expressionless young man (analyzed by the clothes), but the semen is not his, and it would be too hasty to give up because of this. The DNA analysis of superstitious Americans has reached this point, alas.
