Different from the Hong Kong movie’s beautification of the rivers and lakes, loyalty, and romantic and childish obscenity, Korean crime movies that focus on analyzing human nature and alluding to history have a taste a hundred times more spicy than Korean kimchi, but they often fail to use too much force.
In the words of Truffaut: The reason why crappy movies are full of violence and pornography is because the director has no ability to express strong emotions through simple and restrained methods.
Recommend several Korean crime films with excellent art and ideas:
"The Second Daughter" (1960) is dressed in the horror and moral punishment of a knife on its head:
The edge points directly to the patriarchal society, the human nature is dark, the cowardly, industrious, and selfish masters and couples represent the silent majority; the disabled girls look down on the daughters and insinuate the Korean and Korean politics of the hand-to-foot; the discrimination of the siblings symbolizes a hierarchical society, The morbid environment created the perverted personality of the daughter.
Many details are excellent. Because the younger brother died of poisoned water, the older sister begged his father not to drink water.
Poor boy, do you think the poison is limited to water?
"Mistakenly Bullet" (1961) confronts the street scene after the Korean War: the opening is the veterans drinking overlord wine, and the second half is entirely the Korean version of Italian neorealism:
Robbing the bank, encountering suicides, demonstrations, and strikes along the way, personal misery meets the tragedy of the times, which is very shocking.
The anti-lyrical and anti-hero narratives of "Green Fish" (1997) , such as the hero who rescued the United States and the illegal cars chasing the police cars all over the street, injected fresh and sharp vitality into the cheerful and shallow Hallyu; by the way, also A small meeting ceremony was given to South Korea’s religious culture: the church clergymen seduce married women and were brutally repaired by gangsters. They were so scared and embarrassed.
"Memories of Murder" was born in 2003, and the combination of the times and backgrounds is very good- the police officer who loves to show, was despised by the girl:
The use of police force to suppress students, causing criminals to slip through the Internet, torture to extract confessions, and police officers’ flying legs are characteristics of the military government period:
There were frequent murders, and the police officers who opposed torture to extract confessions were guilty and stressed, and began to fight the suspects:
The abused innocent is a collective complaint against the military government, which resonated strongly among Korean audiences:
Where does the cute little girl know that there are so many sins and helplessness in the world:
Eyes with the intention to kill the thief and powerless to return to the sky, listening to the thunder in a silent place, the scalp is numb, and the whole body is trembling:
The film uses a suspenseful story to show the philosophical theme that justice will eventually defeat evil, but not every time. It is simple and unpretentious. The movie history is comparable to "M is the Murderer", "Rashomon", and "Vengeance". "In Me" waiting for a few.
"The Chaser" (2008) handled the relationship between the male lead and the former police colleague with the right amount of measure, showing the profound internal power of the choreographer;
"Yellow Sea" (2010) inherited the glorious tradition of Korean filmmakers using films to oppose the government: the Korean and South Korean gangs killed each other. Arriving at Naihe Bridge; the latter has a smooth skin, but when it is strong, it is weak.
When the killer stepped on it, Professor Jin, who was in the dark, actually gave him alms:
This tender but slightly funny detail embodies the director's strong and complex emotions such as compassion, disgust and irony towards his compatriots.
The Korean tycoon ordered the Korean tycoon to wrap himself up, which meant a kind of spiritual conquest, shameless and fearful of death, Yiye Zhiqiu's insinuation of kung fu prowess:
Representing Korean gangsters, "Crime City" (2017) is not as full and three-dimensional as "Yellow Sea" (2010) , but its portrayal of the police is eye-catching, sweeping South Korea's box office.
The Korean film market is highly competitive, and most crime films blindly pursue cruelty for the box office, which is disgusting;
In addition to the gore, "Crime City" emphasizes a natural and sudden sense of presence ;
The handling of police relations is true and credible. The little policeman said he was scared after being injured. Tiehan’s tenderness is very rewarding: I am also scared...
True bravery: fear, but still reluctant to turn back. . Welcome to follow the Westwind Film Critic:
