The crime action movie "The Evil Dead", adapted from a real case, reflects the real situation of the Korean society to a certain extent, mixes elements of various classic crime films, involves the Korean social system, and blurs the difference between black and white. The ambiguous relationship is presented without reservation, aiming to express the turmoil of society, the alienation of individuals, and the suspicion between people, but all these unknowns are full of unease and despair.
Good people are all alike, but bad people are different.
"The Evil Man" is not an autobiography of a single person. The film tells the story of a serious crime team known as "Mad Dog" who is jealous of evil and unscrupulous by any means, and the leader of a criminal organization who is close to being murdered by a serial killer. There are three main characters in the film, one is Zheng Tae-seok, a criminal policeman with a hot temper and unruly behavior; one is a murderer Jiang Jingxu who has a perverted personality due to his unfortunate childhood; The gangster Zhang Dongshu.
There are many crises lurking in the chaos of the city, and the dark side of human nature is also highlighted along with the things encountered. The story begins with a serial murder case. The murderer starts every time in the middle of the night, and the crime has one thing in common - he will first deliberately create the illusion of a rear-end collision, and stab to death from the back while the victim is checking the vehicle accident. One night, Zhang Dongshu was driving alone at night, and he rear-ended the murderer's car on the road. After several fights, Zhang Dongshu was seriously injured and the murderer fled in a hurry. This is where the wicked battle begins. Zhang Dongshu, who was seriously injured, survived after being rescued. In order to save the face of the gang, all he could do was to catch the murderer and convince the public, but it was difficult to find someone based on the portrait he drew from his memory. At this time, Zheng Taixi, a criminal policeman who was also eager to find the murderer, was punished by his superiors, and the pursuit encountered a bottleneck. What is very dramatic is that when Zhang Dongshu has manpower but no professional experience, and Zheng Taixi has professional experience but suffers from lack of manpower, Zhang Dongshu and Zheng Taixi choose to form a faction and cooperate to catch the real murderer. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, and this paradox still holds true among wicked men.
The former adversary now has to cooperate to find the murderer. Jung Tae-seok asked Jang Dong-seo, "Will one bad guy catch another bad guy?" Jang Dong-soo's answer was, "Two bad guys would catch the worse guy". With the deepening of the plot, the two sides who used to dislike each other can actually chat and laugh together, and even envy each other. At first, Zheng Taixi, who was just and awe-inspiring, has also become a person who cares about his own merits and provides convenience to the gangsters. From the beginning as a person who believes that society is either black or white, he understands the complexity and chaos of society and human nature. Tricks are used to treat bad people, while ordinary people should be treated gently. The vicious gang boss took the initiative to give the umbrella to the female student who didn't have an umbrella to get in the rain. His violence and ferocity did not erupt anytime and anywhere, but only when the other party crossed his bottom line.
In the end, Zhang Dongshu took the lead in catching Jiang Jingxu. When the knife in Zhang Dongshu's hand was about to slash the neck of the murderer Jiang Jingxu, he was rescued by Zheng Taixi. With the arrest of the murderer and the end of their partnership, Zhang Dongshu's underground career was quickly exposed by Zheng Taixi and wanted. The most impressive scene in the film is the scene of the serial killer in court. Due to the lack of direct evidence, the court was unable to execute the murderer, but such a vicious person cannot be allowed to die. The wanted Zhang Dongshu chose to testify against Jiang Jingxu's crimes even though he knew that he would go to jail after testifying as a witness. Facing the defense lawyer's question, he instead asked the defense lawyer a question of his soul: When your family is arrested? Killed in such a way, would you still say such a thing? I think the answer in the lawyer's mind should be no, so it is necessary to let a lawyer who is not related to this case to defend, and there is a party avoidance system. Knowing that such cases are subject to great moral pressure, we cannot simply ask the law to maintain our absolute justice while ignoring the possible drawbacks it may bring.
Due to the lack of evidence and legal loopholes, it has become a shortcut for the wicked to escape the crime. It seems that the law alone cannot make him get the punishment he deserves, but the wicked is indeed heinous, and the crime deserves death. How can we get people to the point of indignation? After all, very few things are really black and white. In our concept, criminal police are absolutely good people, and gangsters are absolutely evil people. In the film, Zheng Taixi, a criminal police officer, made a lot of achievements and stood on the podium. Is he the only good guy left in the film? No, his justice is not real justice. In the end, in order to snatch the murderer, he bumped the gang boss Zhang Dongshu into the murderer. In fact, he is only for promotion, a hypocritical person in the name of justice. The gang boss will also give the little girl an umbrella, put out the cigarette butts, someone hits his car, and whispers, "It's okay, you can go." A good person can be a bad person, and there are moments of kindness in the evil, and the bad is not a human being. , but things. In the whole film, there are not many action scenes, mostly simple and rude actions. The theme of the film is more about human nature and evil people. There is no absolute evil person, and there is no absolute good person! What is shown in the movie is that urban life is full of violence and crime. People living in such an environment with different occupations are free to choose between fate and desire, resulting in things that go against personal will and morality. As a middle school student, what I have experienced is the determination to stick to our original intention and sense of justice in this turbulent world. Even in the face of evil, we still need to make reasonable choices under rational judgment.
