About the inner changes of the male protagonist.
From beginning to end, the male protagonist is chasing the murderer, but the reasons are changed. At the beginning, the male protagonist thought that the murderer was a colleague or a human trafficker. To find the murderer, he was more likely to recover his 6 million won (three women on call, the male protagonist paid 2 million in advance for each), even if the murderer was in front of the police station. The male protagonist admits that he is a serial murderer, and the male protagonist also concludes that this kind of low pressure dare not kill people.
It was not until the male protagonist went to the murderer's sister's house and saw that the murderer's little nephew was "opened up" that he really realized the seriousness of the situation. This is a major turning point for the male protagonist himself. At this time, what the male protagonist is chasing is not or not just the walking 6 million, but a pervert who murdered more than ten old people and women. For this reason, the male protagonist does not hesitate to know the law and break the law, willing to enter the thief's nest, and even want to exchange his life for another life at the last moment.
So, what is his motive?
When he was arrested with the murderer, the male protagonist told the police several times that he used to be a policeman. Although he obviously wanted to excuse himself, I think he still positioned himself as a policeman to some extent. And the prostitute in red at the beginning thought her boss (the male protagonist) used to be a detective. It seems that the male protagonist is still ashamed of his being fired from the police force and has not disclosed his criminal police experience.
In this way, in the early stage of the movie, the male protagonist is a person who knows shame, has a sense of justice (but not enough, he still pimps to make a living), has criminal investigation and fighting ability, but such a person is not the lonely hero in the ending.
Meizhen's daughter is the key to the male protagonist's inner change and even the emotional tone of the film.
I feel that every interaction between the male protagonist and the child is the male protagonist's re-examination of himself. Just like when the male protagonist listened to the child talking about the father he had never met, it reminded him that he never knew that Meizhen had a daughter. At this time, in his eyes, Meizhen was no longer just a woman who was called and walked with 2 million people. The same is a mother; when driving a cigarette, I remembered that there was a child in the back seat hurriedly throwing away the cigarette butt; the child found out that the male protagonist was Meizhen's "boss", and said "shameless" with disdain. I can't remember the others now. In short, although the appearance of the child does not provide a direct effect on the pursuit of the murderer, it is very crucial to the protagonist's mental journey.
Then the flaw in the plot comes. The reason why the child goes with the male protagonist is because the male protagonist feels that the child is too worrying at home, and then drags the child to chase the murderer? ? ? Although the male protagonist asked his subordinates if there was anyone who could take care of the children, it was still difficult to rationalize this strange journey. In fact, I think there is a good place for children - the police station. In this way, the child can not only get the news of the mother at the first time, but also can absolutely guarantee his own safety (although according to the police five in the video, it is not necessarily much safer)
Then there is the scene where the child leaves the male protagonist and goes to the hospital. After the function of the child was realized (emotional booster), it looked like the screenwriter directly hammered the child with his own hands, and then threw her into the hospital. (This part is? I saw someone in the car carrying a picture of my mother, and I was beaten when I followed him??? Who was beaten??? Why was he beaten??? The male protagonist went all the way to find the girl who was injured and fell to the ground)
Well, this is what I think is a flaw, that is, the emotional advancement of the film is based on the unreasonable plot.
