The flaws are obvious, the details are not appropriate

Korean movies often show a tendency that the form is greater than the content. From time to time, they are sentimental for the sake of sentimentality, regardless of whether they are excessively exerted. For the sake of sentimentality, they are often extremely sad, and for the sake of sadness, they can often reverse the logical setting regardless of the details. "Unforgivable" is such a movie. It is actually quite a wonderful movie. It has strong suspense, intense rhythm, powerful actors and powerful performances. The final reversal is shocking, but some logical strangeness always makes me It felt awkward, and the emotion was shocked, but the feeling quickly dissipated.

Watching a movie does not necessarily require an extremely demanding attitude, unless it is fun to find bugs. However, the problem with this movie is that some of the logical problems are too obvious. It’s not that I have to be too serious. It is that I still clearly feel its flaws with a relaxed mind. Besides, this film still strives for suspense and reversal effects. Such flaws are really detrimental to the overall quality. The beginning of the film is fascinating, the girl’s dismemberment tragedy is always sultry, and the suspect was quickly arrested, and even easily confessed that he was the murderer. It didn’t make me feel boring to solve the case too easily, but it’s not long since I watched the film and I look forward to it. It must be a turning point in the future. Soon, the first reversal of the film came. The Korean forensic expert Kang Min-ho discovered that his daughter was kidnapped by the suspect Lee Seung-ho, so he couldn’t help but help Lee Seung-ho out of prison and pushed himself into desperation step by step. The outstanding feature of this film here is that it cleverly combines and grafts the classic patterns of several crime films to create a more complex structure. The suspect exposes himself braggingly, but the victim is getting closer to death with the passage of time; the suspect uses a case as bait to distract the investigators, but plan a larger case; the judicial personnel have no choice but to Ignore the law for the time being, while trying my best to protect my family members and clarify the truth; an experienced crime analysis expert, working with the bloody novices to seek to solve the mystery of the mystery; so many familiar patterns, but in the end became a feeling very novel and rich The impact of the game, I have to say that this is the re-creation ability that Korean filmmakers are good at, not to mention the revenge and sensational elements they love, and it will be even more sultry in the back.

Jiang Minhao’s process of saving his daughter is very fast. He is like a forensic version of Byrne, running around sweating profusely. He has to be ahead of time, ahead of the police, to meet the suspect’s request, and complete a personal confession. The impossible task of exonerating the suspect of his own crime. This tight rhythm is fascinating, and the hint of the constant passage of time makes me sweat for this hard-failed father, and at the same time, I feel angry with Li Shenghao who is smirking, and all this is actually for the rest. The reversal again began to lay the groundwork. From the beginning of the film, Jiang Min-ho appears to be knowledgeable, humble, and affectionate to his daughter. He runs desperately for her daughter. It also embodies the moving and sympathetic love. A perfect person suffers from this catastrophe. The tide of sympathy is coming naturally. On the other side, Li Shenghao, an image of a radical environmentalist, first appeared like a lunatic, playing with his poor father between applause. He was even more abnormal and cruel. The image of a pure villain was also presented. Unknowingly, when we focused on forensic medicine to save a woman, the director began to uncover the dusty past and shake the viewing position we just established. It turned out that the seemingly perfect forensic doctor used to be a tiger, but it turned out to be a devil. The suspect has heartbreaking pain and hatred. Jiang Minho’s redemption came too late, and Li Shenghao’s hatred came too deep. In the end, the scene reversed and it was heartbreaking. The poor girl turned out to be the victim of a period of hatred. Xue Jingqiu performed Jiang Minho’s last desperate and painful performance. Suddenly, this impact overwhelmed the sympathy that I had just established for Li Shengming. Some people said that this was the "forensic version of "Old Boy"". Indeed, ethically, it is not that heavy, but emotionally it hurts more deeply. . This is a story of revenge, but it is difficult to evoke the joy of revenge in many similar movies, because it uses the means to point the innocent to create a more tragic ending than the source of the hatred. It only spreads the misery, not ends it. , This is the most shocking part of this movie.

As mentioned earlier, this movie could have been an excellent noir film, but it is regrettable to play the suspenseful reversal without paying attention to the details. In my opinion, it is not the director’s inability to pay attention, but It seems that he doesn't intend to spend his energy to toss these. Although I don’t understand medicine, but the number one forensic doctor in Seoul, for Maohui, can’t tell the parts of the body from different people? In similar places, one thing that Hollywood movies often do is to make simple science common sense and hints to the audience through a certain narrative in the front, and then reverse the connection at the back, and it is not completely rigorous, but it can usually relieve non-professional audiences at least. . In the film, the suspect can be beaten by forensic doctors in the interrogation room. It’s very strange to me. The whole process is not to see people come in and pull him out. He seems to come and go very freely, and the suspect is full of injuries. In the film, the judicial officers seem to be quite ridiculous, and even the most awkward technique of this kind of film usually makes the injured person say "accidentally hit XX" and are too lazy to use it for transition. Li Shengming’s hatred is so fanatical, and the film does not better show the progress of hatred. Anyway, it is a common way in Korean movies. It is pinned on the actors to perform, so that he can reflect him with a cracked expression and voice. The painful to abnormal heart, why not flash back and reflect a few direct clips of his injury during his growth? Therefore, only from Li Shengming's remarks, he felt as if he shouted: I am miserable, I am miserable, I am miserable. The performance is in place and the effect is very moving, but the result is forgettable.

In spite of the flaws, this movie is worth watching, especially if you regard the utter grief in disregard of the flaws not as a shortcoming, but as a feature, you may be more tolerant. The script is very good, the game is very cleverly created, and the ending is very shocking. If you can find a way to modify a few details, what a good movie it should be. What a pity, what a pity. Finally, I would like to say a fun that only Chinese audiences can enjoy, that is, to praise the subtitles translated from "Water Margin Three Kingdoms King Kong", which are very characteristic of the times and are frequently presented, so that even though the film is finished, the impression is quickly faded. Go, but this emphasis on reflecting the sense of the times in the details, the subtitles that resonated with the audience made me think again and see how important it is to pay attention to details.

    5.30 A one-time suspense film, completely unable to withstand the second round of scrutiny. I like the direct shots in Korean movies, which makes people feel real and shocking.
