The start of the movie is very good: the alcoholic scarface police officer drank a bottle of wine, old stories came up like vomit, dirty and powerful, with the picture of breaking through the glass window, recalling the brutal penetration into reality without excessive dialogue. , The audience can directly visually feel how hard the failed pursuit has hit the Scarfaced Police Officer.
Then the contradiction escalated: 1. The beautiful male killer who had passed the litigation period took the initiative to show up to challenge the society with his own body; 2. The media pushed the flames, the brain-disabled fans followed up, and tortured human nature; here I speculate that there are two development possibilities for the story, the idea of 1. The next story can be that the scared police officer questioned the identity of the beautiful male killer, and the two each said something to tell a suspenseful story like a Rashomon; the idea of 2, then the authenticity of the beautiful male killer is undoubted, and the profit-only media is watching After realizing the commercial value of him, he didn't mind his past. Instead, he tried his best and cultivated blind fans. As a result, the new values conflicted with the old-school ethics, and the role of modern media began to make everyone doubt.
In my opinion, as long as the director chooses to extend his strength, amplify the contradiction, explain it thoroughly, and do the ultimate, he will have the opportunity to shake the authority of the leading work "Memories of Murder" or create a movie version of "Black mirror". Unfortunately, the ambition of having both fish and bear's paw made the director knead the two points together in an vain attempt to include wit and popularity, and finally caused the story to be completely lost.
In fact, contrary to my two speculations, the commercial banner of entertainment to death has been raised, and the "Alliance of Victims’ Families" has appeared on the stage, assassination and rescue, speeding and fighting, in this series are almost like this. In the standard picture of the film, everything is old and familiar. Here I really don’t want to recall this completely redundant plot. Its only function is to fragment the film that could have a clear rhythm. A story that can be told straightforwardly in 90 minutes stretches bluntly to 120 minutes.
Until the masked man J appeared, the story moved towards the third possibility. I think most of the audience would agree with the police officer who said "Look at it," after comparing the masked man J with the handsome killer who played for more than an hour. His face, which is the murderer's face?" After the masked man J took off his mask to reveal his wretched face, the rest of the audience should have made their own judgments.
In the last symbolic tripartite debate, the beautiful male killer confessed to the scam after only a little resistance to it. With the so-called plot reversal that had been guessed, the mystery was revealed, and the film was incorrigible to mediocrity. , The director also added a large part of the speeding scene in a timely manner to complete the conclusion, completely dispelling the last thought of the audience who still had expectations.
Perhaps the Oreo chocolate pie advertisement inserted in the tripartite debate is the answer to everything, and the business appeal is the eternal truth. No matter how good the foundation and how good the idea is, a film that is not careful will be easily killed by it, and this killer is still at large.
