The psychological quality of the Korean people is really strong, and it is absolutely necessary to make such a shocking film. The first person to dissect in South Korea received a case of dismemberment. In the cooperation with the female trainee in the police station, an old case of the year was gradually involved, and a blurring process of life and redemption began. This is the general outline of the film.
This should be the black theme that Koreans are very good at, there is nothing to say about it. There is nothing surprising in the first half of the film. It is the trend of a normal case-solving theme. When the theme of the film is finally revealed, the reversed plot makes the film instantly reach a high level. Before this event, there are indeed many things that people can't understand, and this ending, although it is beyond everyone's expectations, makes the previous details smooth at this moment.
The film is about revenge and forgiveness. And at the end, this is on full display. You think it's easy to forgive others, but on some levels, it's harder than death. And revenge is the sequelae of being bitten by this pain day and night. For Li Shenghao, he knew that the ending of revenge would be a tragedy, but he still had no hesitation, moving towards the end like a moth to the flame. At the end of the film, everyone thought that the protagonist would be redeemed, but the director not only did not let this hope come true, but instead pushed the protagonist one step closer to the precipice of pain. The pain is not to see his daughter's death, the pain is to think about what he did to his daughter. This is the starting point of eternal pain.
Of course, the film also has many flaws. For example, the first person in the autopsy did not distinguish the bodies of two people of different ages. For example, it was such a simple thing to manipulate evidence in the Korean police station. But under the premise that the flaws do not hide the advantages, they can all be ignored.
Xue Jingqiu's performance is also quite awesome, the first half of the professor Fan Er and the second half of the mad rush made my heart tug all the time.
I have watched very few Korean movies, and the reversal reminds me of the Korean movie "Happy Family", and the ending also elevates the movie; and the darkness of the ending reminds me of "Terror Live", a Korean director Really like a road to the dark. Writing this, I am a little fortunate that I have the General Administration of Greater China as a gatekeeper. Let us always retain a glimmer of hope for reality.
For the final ending of this film, no matter what you think, maybe this is the closest to reality, showing the truth in human nature, although it is so ugly and disgusting, but this is life.
