Memories "Memories of Murder"

It is more distinctive, such as the use of a camera hiding in the distance to capture the words and deeds of the heroine, creating a sense of tension; several suspects, especially the pullovers of the father of child C, are all wonderful things. But the plot is still a bit far-fetched and blunt. For example, using coincidences to create the heroine’s psychotic hallucinations and the murderer’s encounter and being exploited, and finally disappearing from the police’s sight, it’s better to deal with the identity until the audience can’t confirm it at all. It’s more suspenseful. It

has always been compared with the Korean murder memories. The consecutive cases of women being tortured and killed are all due to the inability of the police to solve the case. And many scenes give me the impression that this film is imitating "Memories of Murder", such as the changes in the relationship between the police detectives, the mediocrity of the police and the creation of unjust cases, and seeing the evidence of homicide come to light but vanished. Perhaps the heroine's mental illness is derived from the psychological changes of the Seoul police detective in "Memories of Murder". Since there is only one protagonist, it can only reflect the changes in her mentality and lack of collision between the characters. But personally, she feels that her mental illness is more abrupt. Every time there is repeated appearance of the character hallucinations, there is no biochemical phenomenon. Although she embraces the theme of religion, she does not feel the combination of the two in the church. From the point of view of the director, the details of the whole film are insufficient, the climax is not very exciting, and the depth is not too much. ("Kill" is a combination of political turmoil and reflects the reality of social change. , Not on one level). If you watch the two films together, you really feel that "Killing" is a massive production, not only by the director but also by Song Kanghao.

I have to say that this heroine Zhang's is very beautiful, but she is still a little bit away from Song's acting skills. Seeing her body movements every time she fell ill, she always felt itchy. Her highlight is the dew point, which I didn't expect, but it seems to imitate the exposed scenes of Song Kanghao's girlfriend in "Kill". Maybe I think too much. But I hope friends who like suspenseful films must compare them.
