-------------------Rational and Bloody Choice
"I Am a Murderer" is a very good movie. One of the reasons it is good-looking is that it is tense and exciting. The film started with a one-on-one confrontation between the police and the criminal fifteen years ago, and then the unexpected plot development and the direct confrontation between true and false killers followed. , The series of fighting scenes in which the real murderer was finally hunted down dazzled the audience, and they were overjoyed and sad as the story unfolded; the second is the Korean-style comedy that made the whole film laugh constantly. The laughter in the film is just right, so that the viewing process will not be too dull; third, the actors' performances are very good, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, every character is lively and vivid, and there is no such thing as a brain-dead person. This makes me Very pleased. In a word, it is worth taking the time to appreciate.
Some online commenters believe that the fight and comedy ending that followed lowered the film's score, and that the scene where Soo-yeon finally leaves alone may be even more shocking. I also agree with this, because the tragedy is even more unforgettable, and the impact of the destruction of beautiful things is far beyond the reunion. But from another point of view, I think this arrangement of the film may be to make people reflect on the country's statute of limitations system for criminal prosecution. Although the surviving family of the fake criminal has been writing a book to apologize and repent, the real criminal has no remorse, and it is precisely because he has no repentance, and even covets the vanity of a "perfect criminal", that he will be in the surviving family of Lee Doo Suk and Police officer Cui Hengqiu teamed up to set up a bureau and appeared on the scene, and finally died unexpectedly. At the beginning of the human race, blood vengeance was a law of the jungle. Civilization Zhaoxing, private revenge will inevitably affect the cohesion and unity of the entire race, so people transfer their rights and let the state machine take revenge instead of private individuals. In this way, the weak and weak can also be protected, and the powerful cannot arbitrarily expand the depth of revenge. and breadth, to control internal conflicts within a reasonable range, which is conducive to the stability and reproduction of the race. The human race that has not evolved to this point has already become a historical trace in the history of civilization and no longer exists in the world. Human beings are influenced by society at birth, and it is rational for everyone to obey the law; but at the same time, human beings are also an animal, and the factors that desire to kill remain in their own blood. The so-called passion crime under impulse is not a thing. Rare thing.
In the movie, police officer Cui Hengqiu has always faced this rational and bloody choice. Fifteen years ago, he was defeated by the murderer. He couldn't bring the murderer to justice. Instead, he almost lost his life. Even his girlfriend who loved him was kidnapped by the murderer and finally brutally murdered. How can such a bloody feud be easily forgotten? When the statute of limitations for prosecution in the state has expired, he set up a bureau together with his surviving family member Li Doo-suk, that is, when it is known that the statute of limitations for prosecution has expired. Although it was later discovered that Xiuyan's case was still in the judicial prosecution period, this could not erase his original intention of preparing blood and blood for revenge. The performance of many survivors in the film also illustrates this problem, which is not pursued in national justice, but individuals who want revenge have not given up on punishing criminals, even if they are sanctioned by national laws. In fact, Officer Cui was once shaken about how to deal with the murderer, especially when he found that the murderer was still within the prosecution period and the national laws were still applicable, he once decided to hand it over to the judicial organs for disposal, which is why many police officers were deployed at the scene. s reason. Because he is a police officer after all, and he is a member of the state apparatus. He knows and should know the authority to uphold the law. But it's a pity that the murderer's final performance, his cruelty to Soo Yeon still angered Choi in the end. Which boy is bloodless at this time? What's more, knowing that the woman he loved so much died at the hands of this person. Reason finally gave way to blood, and killing the murderer became the only goal of him and his family.
I admit that I love seeing a murderer die like this at the end, because it's so cool. But I also prefer that the murderer can be sentenced to death after being tried by the state. Humans are not human without blood, but they are not human without reason. Excessive emphasis on the human rights of the murderer is not a violation of the human rights of the victims' families; I think this proposition will always be a puzzling problem in human society. If this is the case, then I still hope that at the end of the film, Officer Cui can hand over the murderer to the state, because in this way, the meaning of the law's extensiveness and omissions can be demonstrated. But if the culprit can escape trial because of the statute of limitations, then it is really necessary to review the rationality of the criminal justice system. At least in China, the perpetrator in such a situation can never be exempted from the crime, because as long as the crime is discovered, as long as the criminal has never been brought to justice, the prosecution by him is valid for life.
