When I went to Korean crime movies in 2011, all the spiritual value needs began to change. The old driver's road of no return just goes away. Korean films are poisonous and have bugs. Most of the time, they are more like the classification of Xman's series of movies. "Vengeance", "Psychological Thriller", "Event Restoration", "Evil Spirit Metaphysics", "Theory of Human Organ Transplantation", "Theory of Political Gangs Struggle", "Love, Family, Chicken Soup Mode"...
revenge type In essence, it is very deep, and it is called compelling. I thought that Park Chan-wook must be a B-movie fan, and of course, as the vanguard of revenge, the quality of the whole trilogy is getting better and better. Compared with "Original Crime", I prefer "Kindly Gold", which is also out of "face". However, "Original Crime" is a task that must be completed. The religious sense of this film is unattainable for many films. The use of multiple low-angle shots shows that the director has good intentions. The whole picture is full of suffocation and B-level horror and dark style (black blind dog eyes), trapped and imprisoned, confused and unknown rage, plus a woman's accidental foreshadowing, all of which have only revealed a mystery, the director knows how to control The narration of a shot, which remains incomplete, produces an even more pronounced psychological anxiety after it comes to an abrupt end. Maybe I can immediately think of the absurdity of Takeshi Kitano. When I took it out to see the old boy a long time later, I somehow remembered the rice cabinet of Guan Liu Yaren in "Si Mourning". A little light came in, and the air was maddeningly thin. The cool-tone photography in "The Godfather" dominates the old boys, and the bloody texture is also quite good. The essence of the violent aesthetics should be the long shot of Wu Daxiu fighting with the gangsters. This section adds chicken legs to the composer, Vival's "Four Seasons" is also presented in the second half of the film. In Vival's "Four Seasons", the rhythm of the first movement of "Winter" is fast and steady, and there is the whole process of the piercing ice knife that winter is coming. The breakdown of psychological defenses and purely ethical criminal motives are inherent weaknesses of human beings.
After that, the irony of "Kind Gold" is more direct, including the process of convening people to punish perverts at the end of the film, which is more like the director's own depiction of all beings. The director's perspective of God appears again, with more pity and compassion Sympathy supplements the inspiration of ordinary people's original sin. When it comes to "Miss", which is returning now, it is naturally a reflection on human libido, and feminist revenge is similar to gold. Park Chan-wook's revenge film is more like watching a European medieval drama, with a particularly strong sense of "Renaissance" that is religious and westernized.
There is also a type of revenge film about family affection and social rationality. The best one among them is "Seven Days". The sensory experience of crime films is very important, including the rhythm of the whole film, camera switching, and careful layout. Unexpectedly, the whole film without urine spots is just doing details. You can compare the Korean version of "Hide and Seek". The horror is in place in the first half, but the twist of the plot has no strength. After thinking about it, it went downhill. And "Seven Days" from beginning to end is a big crime tightly tied to a small crime, a large area of bloody a few seconds pause mode, whet your appetite. It is also the main body of the mother character. There are also two or three horror points in "Two Hearts", but the development process is weak; "Don't Cry Mom" can only be a general type film; "Princess Aurora" can be bloody, The depth of the plot is not good; the thriller of "Unforgiven" is still good, but something like "Waiting for You" is already very similar to the routine operation of the assembly line, and the immunity will also grow slowly after watching too much.
Personally, I think the best thing to look at is the police and the black. The "police" is both an identity and an individual. These two double superimposed identities do not necessarily stand in the ranks of the Goddess of Justice, or they both adhere to the spirit of the rule of law, like The balance between the rule of man and the rule of law discussed in Chill. "New World" gives five stars unconditionally, and can't find any flaws. The Korean version of Infernal Affairs and the director's in-depth analysis of human nature are simply perfect! Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae and Park Sung-woong, the top casts form the heavy core of the film. "New World" has made a very detailed description of human feelings and human hearts. Ding Qing played by Huang Zhengmin couldn't breathe, Li Zicheng quickly helped him put on an oxygen mask, but Ding Qing said: You son of a bitch, what do you do when I live? Can you deal with me?" If Ding Qing is alive, Li Zicheng will surely die, and reason in the gang takes over the direction of emotion. Power and survival are not contradictory, they complement each other and rely on each other. The will of the gangster is to survive. The survival meaning of the gangster circle is largely equal to the truth of the motives that the "criminal" does not want to explain clearly. The blood of the gangster is more simple and straightforward in a certain sense. "Despicable Street" uses two more trivial matters. Time tells about the survival instinct in the dark. There is also a runaway adrenaline "To the End", a movie that is still so nervous after watching it three times is also rare, and then quickly became a die-hard fan of Zhao Zhenxiong. "To the End" These four words are quite interesting in themselves. The Mary Sue of crime films is that the pros and cons are too clearly divided. This has become the happy wolf of the Chinese people. The beauty of Korean movies is that no one can be an angel. They The characters are all divided in the form of "animals". There is no good person in the whole film of "To the End". All moral senses escape. The director is like putting people into a dead end, watching everyone jump up and down, hitting the wall to find Exit. "The end" is quite empty, there is no general definition of the ending line to say, this matter is over. The director deliberately did not draw the full stop, the audience just wanted a happy ending, and people would panic if they didn't get the answer. No matter if it is a few characters on the screen or spectators like us. "Believe in the police of the Republic of Korea", a "burlesque" gathering of black humor came to an abrupt end. There are also quite a few reflections of this type, including "crime" Chronicles, etc., are also excellent works.
Before "The Cry", Luo Hongzhen was the godfather of super awesome thrillers. Compared with the bloody and violent color blocks of crime films, thrillers are extremely difficult to shape. The most terrifying thing in Korean films is not the story of female high school girls, but "The Chaser", and I still shudder and don't want to write. Regarding this serial ogre, the presentation of the film is fairly modest, and seeing Ha Jung-woo's murderous madman almost lost his fans. This film is better than the "five centimeters per second" between the pursuit and the crime, the unknown, confused, uncertain target and the complete perversion of the murderer, the psychological compactness and the rhythm of the rush to shoot and the fear of missing shots. There are no rules to follow. Sad ending, mad and angry, when watching the film, I thought of the human perversion in "Parasite". Humans have transformed from a species with spirit and controllable willpower to a violent and bloodthirsty state of primitive animal desire. After screaming, they are horrified.
In the Bronze Age of Greek mythology, the world is no longer peaceful and beautiful, but full of lies, violence, and blood, and people step by step toward sin. "Memories of Murder" in 2003 can be said to be a completely flawless film. Everyone in the film has become blind, and unknown crimes and victims are immersed in the turbid darkness.
Christianity believes that human beings are born in original sin, and everyone has some kind of innate sin and sin, even saints are unavoidable. Original sin exists in the secret place of the heart. We all have a certain sinful tendency. When this tendency and inner strength are driven by external forces, the crime will be revealed. The same is true of original sin. It is not that we have broken the precepts in principle or committed any sin, but that there is something inherent in human beings that makes us feel guilty, and this kind of guilt comes with a burden from the beginning.
That's why I love crime movies. Also borrowed from "Walking in the White Night" and "Blade of Wandering": every night at sunset, the sun sunk into the horizon at a slight angle, and the western sky was still glowing with bluish white light. This is the white night, and when this last refraction becomes an exploratory struggle, the meaning of "criminal" peace is that people have been digging out their own hidden subtleties.
