The exposure of social reality, the ridicule of power, and the deep respect for violence are the artistic presentation methods that Korean crime films have always adopted. "The Evil Dead" is no exception. The film breaks the conflict between good and evil in traditional police and gangster films, and at the same time pulls out the pure and absolute concept of good and evil from the story, creating a cold style of "all villains". Coupled with a large number of brutal violent scenes, the adrenaline of the audience is fully mobilized. Only the audience can experience the invigorating and dripping sense of violence, and the film vents the most primitive violent tendencies of human nature. The opening of the story begins with a serial murder case intertwined with blood and rain. The perverted murderer Jiang Jingxu chose to create a rear-end collision in the middle of the night every time, and stabbed to death from the back while the victim was checking the vehicle accident. A case of the same homicide occurred because there was no on-site witnesses and the detection of the case could not progress. Until the murderer met the gangster boss Zhang Dongshu and failed to assassinate him and broke the deadlock. Zhang Dong, who was born in the gang, has a strong and sturdy writing style. His daily operation is to beat human flesh sandbags and break off his opponent's teeth with his bare hands as a snack. Although both sides suffered damages in this game, the gang boss Zhang Dongshu became the only survivor of multiple murders. In order to save the face of the gang, the boss of the gang, Zhang Dongshu, found someone to draw a portrait of the murderer from memory and ordered his subordinates to look for the murderer everywhere. Zheng Taixi, a criminal policeman who was also eager to find the murderer, was punished by his superiors, and the pursuit encountered a bottleneck. Gang boss Zhang Dongshu has staff but no professional experience, and criminal policeman Zheng Taixi has professional experience but lacks staff. The two people who are scheming decided to temporarily put aside their prejudice and join hands to hunt down the murderer, agreeing that whoever catches the murderer first will be dealt with. So far, the unfortunate childhood and mentally deformed perverted murderer Jiang Jingxu; the hot-tempered and unruly detective Zheng Tae-seok; Trapped in the quagmire of fate. In terms of subject matter, this film does not conform to people's normal cognition values. It is impossible for the police to join hands with gangsters to handle cases, and justice should always be the law to defend fairness and punish criminals. And what are good and evil? There is no precise definition, and sometimes good is also evil, and evil is also good. The law is such a thing, it is an invisible framework, we cannot jump out of this framework, otherwise we will be punished. In the film, due to the defense of lawyers, lack of evidence, and loopholes in the law, it has become a shortcut for the murderer to get out of the crime and become the umbrella of sin, and "The Evil Man" just caught the public's unwillingness, and the gangster Zhang Dongxiu sacrificed himself. Your own interests are exchanged for the final outcome of using evil to defeat evil! Finally complete the morality that the law cannot touch. Buddha and Demon as One, Becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha all arise from the heart, good and evil are basically the same, but in one thought. Zheng Taixi, a criminal policeman, broke into the gang alone, hated the corruption and incompetence of the police station and wanted to change the status quo, but is he a good person in the absolute sense? He was the one who accidentally killed the gang members and concealed the truth, and he was the one who took advantage of the gangster Zhang Dongshu and wiped out their nests. Behind the fame and fortune, who knows the dark side of detective Zheng Tae-seok? The knight who killed the dragon became the dragon in the end. The gangsters who oppose him have the halo of villains as soon as they appear on the stage, operate illegal places, are ruthless in the fight for territory, and regard human life as a must. And it was such a vicious looking villain who did not hold others accountable after a car rear-end collision, and gave an umbrella to a high school girl waiting for the car in the heavy rain, knowing that she would go to jail to testify in court, but resolutely appeared in court to bring the serial killer to justice by law. Can such a big gangster really be defined as a villain full of evil without any shining point? Good people may not be able to do bad things, and evil people can also present the beauty of the world. It's not people that are bad, it's things. There may also be filth under the cover of goodness, and there may be shimmering light through the cracks of evil.
