First, the universal formula looks at metaphors.
People who have watched many Korean police and bandit movies, whether they are serious or funny, the image of the police is usually established as not working and shouting, which is no different from this film. On the contrary, the policemen shown in Korean dramas of police and bandits are all more efficient and handsome, which shows that the producers are still aware of the gap between them and try to reverse something through Korean dramas with a wider audience. However, the condensed nature of the film forces the director to decorate only what he wants to express, and he doesn't need to think too much about other parts, whether it is for the needs of the story, or for the sake of market profit and public response. It seems that the film directors have reached a tacit understanding, so they describe the police using one method to save time and effort. Some people may say that the part that the film director wants to portray is not the police and gangsters, then it will be pushed back. The pervert is the protagonist, but it is an irrational existence. His short life happens to prove that the Korean police are efficient. And he lived long, either because he was too clever or because the police were incompetent. The director easily chose the latter, because the suspect really had no shrewdness, and even recruited the first time he was caught. If you look carefully, you will find that there is no place in the film to reflect the criminal's brilliance: willing to be beaten, I thought that the confession of pretending to be crazy and selling stupid was actually justified, well-founded and detailed. After the collision with Zhong Hao, the savage and rude who didn't want to cover up and scolded the owner behind him for backing up the car didn't want to cover up. If someone thinks it's brilliant for him to bury women in the front yard, I can only say that you have seen too little. All these details are not the director insulting the audience's intelligence. After all, no one wants to watch a movie and expect a perverted murderer. The brute force and cleverness of the director, but the director replaced the cleverness with the cruelty of the means, thereby leaving room to show the incompetence of the police. This is a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Whatever details the director chooses to build will naturally succeed. Because the society is too complicated, the audience will believe whatever the performance is, and the readers will think about the report. That's why, the reason why audiences find itchy teeth that look so natural and hate it.
Second, the particularity of the individual leads to the particularity of the outcome.
Zhong Hao is actually a policeman. At the end of the film, it seems a bit like the routine of our new domestic police story. The police risked their lives to catch the gangster. hero. But in this film, it seems that he also performed all the functions of a policeman. He was also found at the last moment. He was also covered in blood, and the bad guy was subdued, but he was not rescued and was carried away on a stretcher. There is a metaphor here. In South Korea, the police who live in the normal system can never catch the murderer. Instead, it is the "police" who has a special motive or a special non-police environment to finally arrest the real murderer. Not enough protection. Just imagine, what is the reason for the director to arrange Zhong Hao's role as someone who is no longer a policeman? Just imagine if he is a pimp, pure, can he keep rushing up, not afraid of death . Maybe in the beginning, Zhong Hao was looking for Meizhen for his own business, but he found that just one search made him embarrassed or even arrested, which gave him the courage to fight back. The initial motivation has been transformed into an intuitive capture. fierce. Of course, Meizhen's daughter is also one of the catalysts. This has to be said to be the director's brilliant work, a successful counter-evidence, a counter-evidence to the distortion of the social system. The director wants to portray Zhong Hao in the later period, a kind of social nature between sociality and naturalness. It is also this nature that drives him to ignore the drawbacks of the system and keep looking for it without fear of losing it.
3. Restore reality to the maximum extent and expand the details as much as possible.
To put it mildly, Zhong Hao is one of thousands of rebels, but he tried his best to find a result several times greater than himself. Many details in the movie are a little sad. Including Mijin, who everyone thought was the most likely to survive, was also knocked to death. Zhong Hao's odds were so great that he was almost beaten to death by a pervert with a hammer. His hopes were shattered again and again, so the audience had to wait for the ending calmly. Not happy. I think this moment is the moment when the film has the smallest gap with reality and gives the audience the most intense real feeling of the live version. The audience suddenly returned to reality, and these things became the things that happened around them, and the movie on the screen no longer existed. Those situations where only the parties involved can understand the details of what usually happens around them, and then become hysterical or silent, now everyone on the screen has become an insider who has all the details. Indifference and indifference were naturally replaced by the director in the last part. The audience knew that such a thing happened like this, that it had experienced this, and it was because of this reason that it led to such an ending.
The director's good intentions actually want to remind everyone that those who can master themselves want to be loyal to themselves and win integrity, and it is never too late in any environment at any time. Therefore, it can also be regarded as an inspirational film.
