naked reality

The beginning is a very vulgar hit-and-run incident. It was at the time when the male protagonist was investigated by the inspection team and his mother's funeral, so this accident came at an untimely time. He thought that the male protagonist would just find Tiao Jiang abandoned the corpse, but he actually figured out to hide the corpse in his mother's coffin. Thought the phone boss would appear at the end, but it turned out that the police were tearing each other apart. The male protagonist carefully concealed the fact that he had become a murderer. He didn't expect the deceased to be a murder suspect chased by the police. He thought that he had killed someone, but in the end he found out that maybe he was the culprit. A big conspiracy, it can only be said that the male protagonist is too sad. Transferring corpses, hiding surveillance, evading phone calls... I have to say that I watched every scene nervously, and I really sweated for the male protagonist.

I don't quite fit in with the rhythm of this movie, but revealing the dirty and unbearable reality hits the heart. The first is the police system, which is really being ridiculed. Corruption, abuse of power, drug trafficking, official protection, and the last sentence of making this matter a permanent secret for the sake of the overall situation, public power has become the cradle of selfish desires, glorious The people's police finally became the leader of the crime, and had to make people angry and helpless. The second is the male protagonist. There is no double-Q-defying policeman battling criminals and then the handsome hero story of the audience. It is a timid and cowardly ordinary person with limited intelligence and limited intelligence. Go greedy for selfish desires, have the power to drag, and hold the title of a policeman but hide the secret of a murderer. The film does not have a deliberate protagonist halo. The reality is like this. What are the clear boundaries between good and bad people? Those who survive to the end can be defined as "sages".

At the end, I thought that the male protagonist would be an upright person after resigning and start his life again, but it turned out that I was too naive and this is not the end of life. At the end of the film is a pile of jaw-dropping banknotes. Faced with such a big temptation, should you control your desires or continue to follow the crowd? The two choices must be two different endings. Following this choice, the end of the male protagonist's life can also be predicted.

    Park Chang-min: Didn't I give you a jolt? That sinking feeling.

    Go Geon-soo: What do you want?

    Park Chang-min: That was the most important and smart thing you've ever said. What I want? It's simple.
