Recommended by my brother, a movie to watch with my family on Qixi Festival. First of all, the editing is novel. The overall editing is like a montage, and it is changed in different time, space and places. This is one of the innovations of the film; the second is the novelty of the plot. At the beginning, when the case from fifteen years ago is repeated step by step, all the details are almost the same, it is difficult not to think that the original perpetrator is repeating the "perfect crime" until In the end, I realized that this was just a game set up by a mother to make the criminal suffer the punishment he deserved. But everything makes sense: the similarity of the modus operandi makes one have to suspect the same perpetrator; only the victim's mother in the previous case is familiar with the process; the radio recording accidentally turned on by the police at the beginning Foreshadowing was laid. Is what this mother does legal? Probably not, but it is human. But this movie might make us think about whether the "prosecution period" is reasonable? Will it lead to the emergence of another extreme situation, like the mother in this movie, in her own way to make the original perpetrator suffer the punishment he deserves, even as another perpetrator. Finally, the complexity of human nature. Chen is both a criminal and a loving grandpa. He committed the crime in order to get money for his daughter's heart surgery. Understandable, but unforgivable. Whatever the excuse, wrong is wrong. In order to make themselves feel better, people will make excuses for themselves "if she (Seo Jin) doesn't run away, she won't die, I didn't intend to hurt her". Korean movies are always more daring!
