"Painful memories are more grief than heartache." This is what the murderer Lee Sung-ho said to the forensic doctor Kang Min-ho at the end of the film, and it is also the main point of the film.
I thought I had watched a lot of suspense films, and I felt that the routines were similar, nothing new, and the plot was thin. But this "Unforgivable" really opened my eyes and shocked me from the bottom of my heart. Not long after the film started, the protagonists found out the real culprit of the massacre, Li Shenghao, through layers of reasoning. Although Li Shenghao himself admitted the crime, he could not be convicted due to lack of valid evidence and unknown motives, causing a headache for the police. endlessly. When I saw this part, I suddenly thought of "Malicious" by Keigo Higashino. The facts of the crime are known and the culprit is basically determined, and the equations X (evidence) and Y (motivation) are solved. To solve this equation, all that is needed is careful reasoning logic and an emotional way of thinking that pushes others and oneself. But the talented forensic doctor Kang Min-ho, because of his biggest weakness, his daughter, makes things develop in an uncontrollable direction...
If he hadn't made that choice in the first place, wouldn't it have caused future tragedies? Worth thinking about. Lee Sung Ho is not an impeccable high-IQ criminal, but he firmly grasped Kang Min Ho's Achilles heel, which led him to destruction step by step.
Under power, the weak cannot get a fair trial; before fate, it is difficult for mortals to make a decision on both sides. I believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. I like films with cause and effect, so I think Korean criminal investigation films are very good. They depict human nature very delicately, although compared with some domestic films, such sketches are naked. Somewhat cruel.
The most complete revenge is not death, but more pain than death. Although the film has some exaggerations and deficiencies (such as the autopsy part), it also reflects some dark factors in reality, which is thought-provoking and tear-jerking.
