What is the real meaning of this film?

If you want to understand this film, you must first look at his title - "Memories of a Murderer". The whole film is developed from the perspective of a murderer with Alzheimer's disease. In the unreal and real clips, it is actually the perspective of the male protagonist. Grab this point and it seems to be clearer after watching this film.

There is a proverb that says how you see the world, the world sees you the way you see it. The male protagonist has been accustomed to seeing everything from his own perspective since he was a child. He will kill anything he thinks should be damned, and tell himself that what I am doing is right, and I am convinced that this is probably the way of thinking of most serial killers. The male protagonist does not have amnesia after suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Since the car accident, he has started this situation. Maybe Alzheimer's disease just made his symptoms worse. After that he even forgot his daughter and only remembered what it was like to kill, so he got into action again. It's just that I forgot after the action. As for some people who said that people who killed people in the past were strangled and buried, why did they change their methods now. I think this is what he did when he lost his memory. At that time, he was no longer his former self, but another person, and this person was the Patrolman 2 in his imagination. So when he met the man 2, he unconsciously put all his imagination on the man 2, especially when the man 2 started to approach his daughter, his thoughts were even worse.

If this film is a serial killer showdown, it would be better to say that this film is a punishment for a murderer on the loose. Use this film to warn those murderers who are on the run, and also tell those who think like this, even if you can escape the punishment of the law, you can't escape the punishment of your soul, and you will eventually be swallowed by the darkness, lose your mind, and even hurt your loved ones, even if it is A guilt-free serial killer.

Maybe I was afraid that everyone didn't understand it. At the end of the film, the director arranged for the male protagonist to say that the male 2 is not dead. In fact, he himself is male 2, and it is the murderous idea in his heart that has not been broken. It's like two villains in my heart, justice and evil. When evil overcomes, he becomes male 2, and when justice wins, he becomes male 1 again. As for the many details in the film, as well as the dual personality, the director's cut and other film critics have already said it in great detail, so I won't repeat them one by one. The above are all my personal opinions and may be biased, welcome to discuss.
