(I really can't stand all the messy film reviews, so I took the time to write the most objective one)
First of all, the murderer is definitely not alone. The most direct reason is that the modus operandi has changed. We can first sort out the six victims:
1. The first victim: Park Baoji - stinking ditch
2. The second victim: Li Xiangshu - next to Gu Dui (the red clothes and stockings strangled the hands behind the back, the mouth was tied with socks, and the panties tied from the back of the head were put on the head)
3. The third victim: Dong and Su - rotten
4. The fourth victim: Park Mingzi - by the factory (took off the red shirt, bra, strangled his hands, tied his mouth behind his head, and used socks to hold stones and tied it from the back of his head)
5. Fifth Survivor: Mad Woman - last September
6. The sixth victim: Ahn Mi-sun - in the rice field (there are 9 peaches in the vagina, panties are not on the head, and the bra is on the side)
7. The seventh victim: Schoolgirl - in the woods (with a ball pen, a spoon in her vagina, her underwear intact, her legs tied)
By summarizing the situation of the above victims, we can clearly find that the modus operandi has changed, and there are obvious traces of imitation, but the imitation is somewhat clumsy and even begins to be out of shape . The first two are highly similar, but in the third one, The hands were tied in front, and the mouth was not tied with socks and stones around the head. It was only blocked by clothes, and the binding method changed . The fourth victim took off his red clothes and was still killed, and he was killed from behind. The interrogation shows that she was strangled to death by a bra, not stockings, and the targets and tools of the crime have changed ; the fifth survivor is actually the earliest one, so it is similar to the first two; the sixth victim's underwear Not on the head, the bra is on the side, and there are 9 pieces of peaches in the vagina. The gender of the suspects is questionable , and it also opened a precedent for stuffing things in; the seventh female student who was victimized had a ball pen and a spoon in the vagina. It is an imitation of the previous one, and it is more suspicious that her underwear is intact and her legs are tied. It is possible that she was not raped at all, just for revenge killing.
All of the above, with the most direct evidence, deny that the murderer is the same person. The truth is imitation and committing the crime. In fact, the director deliberately arranged for a little boy at the beginning of the film to inexplicably imitate the police all the time, not only imitating his speech, but also imitating his tone. And action, "imitation" has long been implied. So who are the murderers? Many viewers were actually fooled by the little girl's words at the end of the film, thinking that the murderer was a specific person who was still at large.
In fact, it doesn't matter who the murderer is. When the little girl described the person's appearance, the word "ordinary" was used. When the police asked again, the little girl said, "It's the ordinary kind." A specific person's appearance can always find suitable words, but the little girl uses "ordinary" to describe this person, why must it be "ordinary"?
Because the murderer is the ordinary people around us, anyone can be...
He may be a boiler repairer (because he hears all the details of the crime in the interrogation room while he repairs)
Or maybe a guard in the forest (because he painted a woman's genitals with spread legs on the wall of the sentry, and looked at the policewoman's ass)
It could also be the fool's father (because he was a flower thief, he was eavesdropping nervously outside the door when the police were roasting meat, and the fool saw that it was actually his father, and there were three more times)
And Park Hyun-kui, who was taken as the number one suspect, may have been innocent at first. The only survivor said that his hands were tender to confirm it. It was ridiculous. Why is it me?", and what's wrong with ordering a song on the radio on a rainy day, in real life you may think he is romantic, but even so, I think the last female student was murdered, but not for rape, but It was out of revenge. The whole town thought he was a pervert. He was sitting in a small restaurant drinking, and passersby all looked at him. Anyone would be angry at this, let alone in the In that angry age, he decided to take revenge, as evidenced by four points:
1. He has a very coincident time for committing the crime. The handsome policeman just followed the loss when the crime happened. As he said, how could it be such a coincidence;
2. He is swaying when choosing a target, and finally chooses a female student to start with. I guess, as a weak man, he may still have some indecision when he singles out an adult female. If the opponent resists too hard and fails to win, it will be embarrassing. Or female students have a better chance of winning;
3. When he committed the crime, he placed stationery and spoons neatly, which echoed his neat room decoration in character, and his hands were very similar;
4. The female student's underwear is intact and her legs are tied. It is still difficult to rape in that position, but he just stuffed a ballpoint pen and a spoon in it, and did not perform substantial rape. On the one hand, this approach has obvious His revenge is in line with his motives. On the other hand, he may be gay. When the fat policeman looked through the album in his room, there were many group photos of two boys, some in military uniforms, and some half-naked. You must know that the director arranged the props. Time will not be in vain. So there is a high possibility that he killed the last female student.
I will always remember the last face of Song Kanghao. That face told me that there was far more than one murderer. When the film was released in South Korea, the murderer might have been sitting in the cinema watching the film. Song Kanghao was staring at the audience, and the murderer might have been Among the audience... (The release time of the film is 2003, and the final time point of the film is also 2003)
In fact, what is most worthy of tasting in this film is not the unresolved truth, but the excavation of human nature (the calm and rational justice police officer eventually turned into a violent and angry lyncher), and more in the tragedy and turbulence of individual fate. The social picture constructed by the current situation is that the background of the case coincides with the transition period of South Korea from a military dictatorship to a democratic politics. The society is turbulent and people are panicking. The police, as accomplices in suppressing the demonstrations, themselves arouse dissatisfaction among the people. , Violent law enforcement, loss of credibility of the police, fall into the trap of Tacitus, coupled with the over-reporting of the media news and the public knowledge of the modus operandi, the initial case eventually evolved into a serial case, a mystery case... .
So, the real murderer is actually "that era".
