The melting pot's focus on deaf children who were sexually abused led directly to the revision of legal provisions. The sensational murder case in Memories of Murder, without obscurity, explains the South Korea in the background of the story. A backward town, brutal interrogation methods, and a messy environment. There is also a live broadcast of terror that is highly sought after in China, directly accusing the government of inaction and ruthless suppression of the people.
Although there are more or less certain reservations about the three views of these films. For example, the stance in the horror live broadcast is obviously on the side of the disadvantaged group, and does not give the official any chance to speak from a neutral point of view. There is a suspicion of deliberately trying to please the disadvantaged group (that is, the broad civilian class). In contrast, there are also ridiculous and violent reflections of the ruling class, and the national anthem in the first season of the British drama "Black Mirror" is much more brilliant. There, the director and the creator really narrate from the perspective of God, without showing any malicious or good intentions of any party on the opposite side, pure neutrality.
However, Korean films do at least leave China behind when it comes to focusing on these issues. Of course, it has a lot to do with their respective film creation environments. For example, a subject like mother will definitely not be approved in China, right? The mother killed the only witness after discovering that the son who was complaining was the murderer, and the police, who acquiesced in inaction, replaced it with another idiot as the murderer. There is no good person in the full sense. The most important thing is that the police have repeatedly shown that the police closed the case hastily and caught the wrong murderer.
But human nature can never be described clearly in a few simple sentences. I believe that Jin Huizi in "Mother" is the mother image that may exist in reality. He killed someone to protect his son, but he cried bitterly after seeing the idiot orphan who shared the same illness as his son as the murderer.
Only such a movie will make people thrilling, let us see the pain of black and white human nature in ourselves. No disguise, no false comment, no accusation, just a pure display. That's enough to make a good movie.
