Leaving aside who the murderer is, the most thought-provoking thing in the film is that the murderer (although everyone knows it is fake in the end) has won the support of some members of the public because of his handsome appearance, and even has a fan group. This reminds me of Tatsuya Ichihashi, the sensational Japanese disguise killer in the past two years. The Japanese man who brutally raped and killed British female teacher Lindsay Anne Hawke in 2007 was arrested in 2009. During his more than two years on the run, he had undergone plastic surgery several times to avoid capture. When he was finally arrested His face is completely different from the photo on the wanted notice. In early 2011, after his arrest, Ichihashida published his own "Blank Two Years and Seven Months Records Before Arrest," which was billed as a confessional note. And it became a bestseller. It is said that the book may also be adapted into a movie. What's even more ridiculous is that there are also female fans who have set up a fan group of Shiqiao on the Internet. This coincides with part of the plot in "I Am a Murderer". I believe that the screenwriter of the film should also draw on the real case of Tatsuya Shihashi to create the script.
Regardless of whether it is a movie or reality, these plots can't help but make people think about why a murderer who should be spurned by thousands of people has become a best-selling author and even an idol for some people. What makes these people ignore the pain of the victim's family, ignore the basic ethics, and make no distinction between good and evil. How do those who admire murderers view the crime of murder?
Human nature is really too complex and elusive, and modern society has produced many such "non-mainstream" world views and values because of the richness of material life. And if in the future, this "non-mainstream" becomes "mainstream", what kind of world will it be? .
