Crime themes, especially social non-fiction crime films, are a prominent label of Korean cinema. Korean social documentary films have produced many excellent films with their real and sharp face to social problems. "The Beginning and End of the Jin Funan Murder" is one of them that cannot be ignored.
On an island far from land, a woman who has no control over her own destiny and a group of acquaintances with evildoers. The play describes a variety of social problems, such as rape, incest, mutual harm, bullying and oppression, malfeasance and corruption, and interpersonal indifference.
Especially in interpersonal relationships, the indifference is chilling, and everyone does evil without realizing it.
Hannah Arendt's "banal evil" is vividly reflected in the people on the island. Jin Funan finally turned from a weak abuser to a perpetrator. The transformation of the emotions of the characters in the whole movie, the despair, struggle, self-rescue, and help in the inner world of the characters, until the final collapse, is as smooth as a river flowing without being abrupt. It can be seen from this that the artistic talent of director and screenwriter Zhang Zhezhu, as the first film work of a new director, has such a level, which is really rare.
Zhang Zhezhu is Kim Ki-duk's assistant director. He has participated in the filming of "Shoreline", "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" and "Samaria Girl". Kim Funan can also see the shadow of Kim Ki-duk's film roles.
Kim Ki-duk is a good teacher and Jang Zhe-soo is a good student.
In the first half of the movie, everyone's bullying of Jin Funan can arouse the audience's emotions, so that the audience will hope that Jin Funan will resist, and hope that she will pick up the scythe in her hand and take revenge and kill.
Sartre said: "Others are hell", emphasizing the torment of the human self's own pain to the human itself, but in fact, when people pay attention to the external world, they will find that many times the source of people's pain is not within themselves, but with the people around you. environment and people.
I would say that others are more than hell, most of the time a prison. Many times we ourselves are trapped in a siege, and we want to escape but can't break free, because people are trapping you. In a marriage that exists in name only and has different dreams in the same bed, both parties want to escape but are afraid or unwilling to escape. For the children, for the parents, and for the opinions of the people around you, the children, parents, and people around you are the prison that traps you.
When Jin Funan was about to kill her aunt on the cliff, the director used her aunt's mouth to tell the root of all the tragedies and sins on the island: "Normal people would not abuse others casually, and those who abused others were once victims themselves. ." Seeing this scene, I was terrified. It turned out that every woman on the island was Jin Funan, but only Jin Funan finally raised the sickle in his hand and opened the gate of the prison.
