Crime films are somewhat of a problem with genre films, this one really doesn't have any sense of frame, or in other words, kind gold doesn't belong to any genre. The heroine alone is enough for five stars, the loli mature woman is proficient in everything, and the pure saint is dreaming of flying with a gun. Like Park Chan-wook's previous films, metaphors are everywhere, and even the colors are telling stories. On the contrary, the place where the story should be told always feels that something is not right. For example, why did the priest who paved the "right way" for gold communicate with Teacher Bai? I didn't see it the first time.

The movie was only halfway through when Jin Zi caught Mr. Bai. I think revenge is almost over. What about the remaining half of the film, and the first half of the torture part? But the second half is the most important. Park Chan-wook described the lynching of the victims in a very, very dark and humorous way. They did not believe in legal trials. It is the law that is incompetent, because the law cannot control the unscrupulous media, whether it is talking about the criminal details of the criminal or excavating the gossip of the victim, they are causing harm to the victim again. The mediocrity was convicted, never until 500 retweets appeared in socialist countries. Park Zanyu's incompetence towards the latter is outstanding, and his "unresolved hatred" towards the former is prominent. That's right, no matter how much civilization develops, the homomorphic revenge mentality of retaliation with violence will always exist. As in "Brain Man", the impunity must be handed down, even if it becomes a machine that kills criminals. The news will be unfinished after the news. I remember that the number of people in a certain bombing serial murder case is very small, but for the victims, the news will never be out of date.

Except for the parties who really care about the facts, "bystanders" may not accept a uniform punishment. Abolishing the death penalty or torture is based on humanitarianism, but many people cannot accept that prisoners who commit inhumane crimes will die, let alone believe that they will "get better". Modern justice punishes all types of crime in the same way, even if not the victim, some sentimental bystander may not approve. Even if they did good to the society and how kind they were, it didn't give them back a few points. Many people accept Yuxi Tianhai's queen theory, and there is not a single heartstring left for these criminals. Is this out of justice? Not necessarily, because there are more punishments for the so-called evil in people's hearts, justice is clear and clear, but there is very little that can be done, the boundaries of sin are blurred, and the slightest touch will become the target of public criticism. In order to define justice, killing sin has become the most just act.

  • Geum-ja Lee: Listen carefully. Everyone make mistakes. But if you committed a sin, you have to make an atonement for that sin. Atonement, do you know what that means? Big Atonement for big sins. Small Atonement for small sins.

  • Mr. Baek: Ma'am, there is no such thing as a "perfect person"...
