The truth, what is the truth? Sin, the eternal existence of sin, justice, justice is drowned in tears. In that era, there were countless rapes and murders in South Korea. A common spearhead was behind these cases: the incompetence of the South Korean police. The Stagelmor syndrome of the masses and the police, the political pressure of the US garrison in South Korea, the demons that descended on the rainy night, in such a movie, these mixed negative emotions finally erupt like a volcano.
Forever unforgettable the last long shot of the movie, the uncle's tearful eyes questioned the audience, who is the murderer? The theme of the film is not clear, if only to find the suspect is too thin. It is said that it is a conflict between the two police handling methods, which is too incomplete. The problems in the movie existed from the beginning, and could not be solved until the end of the movie. Rather than saying that the film is developed on the pursuit of the murderer, it is better to use the pursuit of the murderer as an excuse. The actual purpose is to present a series of social issues to the audience, so that the audience can unconsciously feel the director's Intent, there will be no offensive way of pure preaching.
This South Korean film adaptation of an unsolved case restores the turmoil and backwardness of that era. The film finds out the suspect again and again and overthrows it again and again. It satirizes the case that could have been solved by the ignorant police and was ruined step by step, and finally ended with the prisoner. Staring is both desperate and terrifying. The murderer is among us. It can be everyone but you have no way of knowing.
I really like a Korean movie. The ending with no answer is wonderful and heart-wrenching! The actors' acting skills are also superb!
