In order to find out an old case that his boss hastily settled, the middle-aged investigator investigated everything about the writer suspect at all costs, from following and over-interpreting the literary works consistent with the suspect's modus operandi, trying to get the writer to plead guilty. , The two battled wits and courage. In the end, the protagonist used "in-depth" communication with the writer’s girlfriend to force his girlfriend to identify the writer’s crime. The writer was too deep in the play and admitted his “crime”. In the end, the protagonist discovered his fatal mistake in the case, but The writer and his boss were both implicated and arrested, but he was ashamed of the so-called "justice" and learned that the writer’s girlfriend was the real murderer when he was so desperate, and he died after being poisoned by the writer’s girlfriend...
After understanding the plot, you might as well discuss the topic.
As the title, this film is based on a murder case, showing the extremely dark side of society: whether it is the obscene physical trading of prostitutes in the "cage" club, or the ugly face of rape by the police chief, and the shocking sexual violence Crimes nakedly reflect the seriousness of "true crimes", and in the face of sin, the protagonist Tadek, who is a defender of justice, seemed so weak and helpless, and finally fell under the feet of sin and died in despair.
Excluding the naked eye-catching scenes, the depiction of the evil of human nature has become a major feature of the film. We analyze the evil of human nature from three subjects: the criminal, the law enforcement (power controller), and the protagonist Tadek.
Criminals, that is, groups suspected of prostitution, drug abuse, murder, and rape represented by writers’ girlfriends, are driven by personal desires, disregarding moral and ethical concepts, and belong to the first level of human evil. This evil is primitive and rude, and there is still room for improvement.
The law enforcement, or the power controller, take the police chief Greg as an example. As an investigator of the old case, he worked with the criminals and participated in physical transactions together, and used insufficient evidence as an excuse to remove the crimes from the criminals; The boss who seemed to help Tadek actually took advantage of his foolish loyalty and pale sense of justice, but in his heart he conspired with the gray plan of ascending the post of director... Such officials exist in the upper echelons of society, like a scourge of fear. This kind of evil that knows the law and violates the law and has a conspiracy belongs to the evil of the second level of human nature, which is more insidious and frightening.
The protagonist, Tadek, is obviously a genuine investigator, and he is always in justice. The image of such a tragic hero is actually harmed by his own human evil. He is selfish and indifferent, and ignores his family in order to be able to regain his original job dignifiedly; he can't resist temptation, dislikes his old wife and friends with the writer's girlfriend; he broke his promise and let his old mother die in loneliness... all kinds of behaviors, It seems that a good person is not rewarded, but in fact the crime deserves it. The justice in his mouth has become a means of proving himself; the moment the writer signs his confession, he seems to be able to see the protagonist’s inner pride, but ignores the low-level information to solve the case such as alibi. , Leading to all losses, letting the real murderer go unpunished... The fame is not guaranteed, the companion betrayed, the murderer escapes, the face is dishonored, the loved one dies, and the death of hatred... Such a tragic life makes people can't help but embarrass and panic for the protagonist. The evil of human nature in his heart is embarrassing and regrettable.
The character setting is relatively old-fashioned and the method of solving crimes is far-fetched. However, the plot of the film is twists and turns, and the characterization is profound and complicated. The final tragic ending is difficult to satisfy the audience. Three stars are at most a pass, but it is still far from a truly successful crime film. There is a certain gap.
