Genre films can also play new meanings

South Korea's No. 1 box office
director this year, Bong Junho,
translated as "Monster", in fact, the original name is more meaningful.
Bong Junho's control in "Memories of Murder" is indeed impressive, and this time is no exception. A very exciting commercial blockbuster, some people demand its CG level, but at least in Asia, it should already be first-class.
Including the setting of the monster, the way of movement, the texture and texture are all good, the weight is a little bit poor, the last scene is a bit empty when it burns, and the rest are well done.
Science fiction is actually just its skin. The answer has been revealed at the very beginning of the film. Its purpose is to satirize and insinuate. There are several plots that make people laugh and cry. I was worried that I would not agree with the plot of Korean society. But it is clear at a glance, because the same ugly, rotten and deformed monsters also exist in our country and national mentality.

If "Memories of Murder" is 5 points, I can give this "Monster" a 4.5, then 0.5 is actually very hesitant. If technically speaking, monsters are undoubtedly more difficult, but perhaps with the help of surreal themes To allude to reality, it always makes people feel like their fists are hitting cotton, a little trance and a little escape. Although I like this kind of crossgenre very much, if it is punched to the flesh, it will be more powerful.

Finally, I recommend everyone to watch it. Bong is indeed a good director. Although he has only three works, he is a rising star in the Korean film industry. The next one is also a sci-fi film, adapted from the French comic "The Last Train". expect.
