But to say that it is a sequel, its shooting techniques and narrative style are very different from "Memories of Murder". Compared with "Memories of Murder", "I Am a Murderer" is more like a thrilling criminal investigation drama with dazzling The action scenes, changing storylines, and all kinds of ironic and funny scenes seem to mean that it will have the possibility of surpassing "Memories of Murder", but if you think so, you are very wrong. .
Why do so many people call "Memories of Murder" a classic? I don't think it's a whim. "Memories of Murder" is almost perfect in all aspects, especially the last few minutes, which is amazing, but also feels that the pores all over the body are shrinking, the blood is frozen in an instant, and the back Chills. In contrast, "I Am a Murderer" is much inferior. To put it bluntly, it is just a conventional commercial film in a gorgeous coat. Of course, I have to admit the director's hard work, because he made the action interesting enough to watch every move, and I also admit that the director wanted to make this movie well, but maybe it's precisely because of writing everywhere , so I don't want to deal with it everywhere, the whole movie doesn't give me a good sense of quality, why? Listen to my analysis.
At the beginning of the movie, I was pleasantly surprised. On a rainy night, somewhere in the dilapidated restaurant sat a lost soul with a knife scar on his face, drinking wine with all his heart, and a restaurant with obvious cuts on his neck. The proprietress looked at him sadly. Just when the man wanted to drink alcohol to relieve his worries, a window pane broke and knocked out the past of two people with scars, so we knew the origin of the scars and the story. center. Such a beginning will undoubtedly attract the attention of the audience, so I look forward to the following plot development with great interest. "A murderer who killed more than ten innocent women in a row has never been arrested. After the 15-year criminal prosecution period expires, even if the murderer is caught, he cannot be convicted. If the murderer of that year is suddenly exposed Under the focus of the media, boldly admit to the murders of the year, what will be the attitude of the media, the public, the victim's family and the police." Seeing this, I would like to say that the story is well imagined, the subject matter is bold and novel, and the final The reversal is also eye-catching. However, there are so many flaws in the movie that in the later stage of the movie, the star index in my heart drops straight from the highest point like a quadratic function. An inexplicably happy alliance of victims' families, such as the handsome "murderer" who wanted to defend himself with a knife but was stabbed in the arm by a falling knife, or the "murderer" who only wore underwear and a bathrobe on the road Shang and the victim's family, a Hollywood action blockbuster staged by the police, there are many stunts in it, and you can even jump freely between high-speed cars. Seeing this, I really want to say that the director really likes to joke.
Secondly, I think the director missed a point that should have been the climax, making the ending boring. It was unnecessary to make a movie that could be shot in 90 minutes to 120 minutes, which is really a pity. That climax is murder. At the moment when the culprit finally confessed the crime and confronted Detective Cui at the recording site, if the director arranged for Detective Cui to shoot at that moment, the next road chase would be deleted, or all of the following would be deleted to make an image. With an ending like "The Seven Deadly Sins", I would be more satisfied with this movie, but unfortunately the director didn't do that, which also created the Achilles' heel of this movie, the common problem of commercial movies-making something that suits the audience's taste and selling it Go out, instead of making a good movie that few people appreciate.
