Recently, South Korea released another hit, which beat the Hollywood blockbuster "Venom" as soon as it was released.
has occupied the top spot at the Korean box office for 8 consecutive days, and the cumulative number of viewers has successfully exceeded the 3 million viewing mark, approaching 3.7 million people.
And the Korean media evaluations are all above 8 points, which can be said to be a good harvest at the box office and word of mouth.
However, when the film was first released, it encountered a boycott and even went to the Seoul Central District Court to request a ban on the film's release.
The reason is that the film is adapted from a real case .
's extremely high degree of detail restoration caused extreme discomfort to the victim's family. Later, after the producer apologized, the two parties reached a settlement and the film was released as scheduled.
It is ---------
" secret murder "
The film is adapted from a real case that happened in Busan in 2007.
But the film is set in 2011. At the beginning, the suspect Kang Tae Oh (played by Ju Ji Hoon), who was suspected of killing his live-in girlfriend and then dumping her body, was jailed and sentenced to 15 years in prison because of the solid evidence. .
Logically speaking, the murderer was sentenced, which should be the ending scene.
But the murderer in this film did not follow the routine. In prison, he actually called the police Kim Hyung-min ( Kim Yun-seok ) and told him that he had killed more than one person, seven people in total.
Jin Hyung-min, who has been a criminal police officer for more than 20 years, relied on his keen intuition to realize that things were not simple at the first moment, so he came to the prison to visit Jiang Taiwu with a dubious attitude.
When he questioned why Jiang Taiwu didn't tell the criminal policeman in charge of the case, Jiang Taiwu looked like he didn't believe the police.
even said that the police were fabricating evidence in order to get promoted, and the recordings and tapes they submitted were actually fake.
So he drew the real place where the body was hidden, and even told Jin Hyung Min the details of the murder one by one.
He was sure that Jin Hengmin would take care of his affairs to the end, because he knew that Jin Hengmin was curious about where the remaining six people were.
According to the place drawn by Jiang Taiwu, Kim Hyung Min found the clothing and other physical evidence of the deceased.
What is unexpected is that his move was considered a traitor to the entire police department.
Because the physical evidence he found directly proved that the evidence provided by the police was false, Jiang Taiwu was sentenced to a reduced sentence of 5 years.
After seeing this, you suddenly realized that the murderer had already made a plan from the very beginning when he approached the police. He was relying on the police to find evidence to overturn his case.
also proudly showed off to reporters: I will use legal means to solve the problem.
sounds a little bit ridiculous.
However, the reality is really like this. He took advantage of legal loopholes time and time again to get rid of suspicion for himself.
The murderer is not scary, but the murderer is educated. He has not only excelled in all subjects since he was a child, but also has a very high IQ.
Even in prison, he studied books on criminal law assiduously and memorized them thoroughly.
Although he wrote confessions of seven cases to Kim Hyung Min on paper.
But he knew that confessions obtained through inducement and threats could not be recognized as evidence.
Kim Hyung Min and Kang Tae Oh both know what each other is thinking. What follows is actually a showdown between highly intelligent criminals and police officers who are persistent in looking for the truth.
In Jiang Taiwu's view, everything Kim Hyungmin did was useless.
Because every time he provided a clue to Kim Hyung Min, he would also ask for money from Kim Hyung Min. Kim Hyung Min paid him nearly tens of millions of won.
But this has also become Jiang Taiwu's protective umbrella, because he will directly overturn his testimony in court, and even pretend to be innocent, saying that he was paid by the police to buy his confession to gain sympathy.
In addition, the police gave false evidence before, so the road to commutation of his sentence was simply given a green light.
More importantly, he was smart enough to break one case into several cases to confuse the public.
In other words, the real reason why he took the initiative to report the crime to the police was to escape prison life.
The seniors at the police station advised Kim Hyung Min not to continue pursuing such cases.
What criminals want is to have a police officer who handles the case seriously and does his best to find evidence to prove his innocence.
He is very smart. He seems to be a crazy man who seeks excitement by killing people, but in fact he is a thoughtful and profound person.
He was arrested because he was guilty of case A, and then explained the evidence chain of case B and case C to the police in detail, and then he cleverly turned cases B and C into innocent cases.
Case A, in which the police committed perjury, will also be overturned in the subsequent trial, and Jiang Taiwu will be acquitted in the end.
This is all he has orchestrated.
It seems that this criminal is very scary, but in reality he is even more terrifying. In the movie, there are 7 people, but in fact, the list of real criminals has 11 dead people.
The murderer played by Zhu Ji-hoon in this film also interprets this crazy feeling to the extreme.
His smile and anger affect the development of the entire case.
Some people say that the interpretation was too real, so it was boycotted by the families of the victims.
Some people also said that Zhu Zhixun used too much force and his dent was awkward.
To be honest, it is not easy to control a character like a serial murderer. This degree requires the actor to be precise and in place, which tests the actor's skill. One of the most classic examples of
is Ha Jung-woo 's performance in " Chaser " . He went from sneering to silence in just a few seconds, killing the murderer Liu Yongzhe 's perversion has been performed to the extreme, and you can feel the coldness and horror across the screen...
Coincidentally, "The Chaser" is also adapted from a real case, and it also stars Kim Yun-seok.
However, this time the partner was changed from Ha Jung Woo to Ju Ji Hoon.
In terms of acting skills, there is indeed a big gap between Ju Ji-hoon and Ha Jung-woo, but it is undeniable that Ju Ji-hoon works hard and is serious.
In this film, he wore no makeup, shaved his head, gained 5 kilograms, and was even so stressed that he was sent to the emergency room with stomach cramps.
In order to play this role well, he also worked very hard.
Unsurprisingly, this year has become the "Year of Joo Ji-hoon", with strong business capabilities and super hard work. In the second half of 2018 alone, 3 works were released.
From the Jie Jie Pulse in "Along with the Gods 2", to the soldier in " Agent ", to the murderer in "Dark Numbers", the jump between the three characters is shocking.
He performed a different flavor in every role and successfully entered the list of popular actors in Chungmuro.
Of course, Kim Yun-seok, a powerful actor in Chungmuro, played a very stable role in this film. I have to admire the screenwriter for creating a very convincing image of police officer Kim Hyung-min.
He is middle-aged, widowed, childless, carefree, and devoted to handling cases.
The most important setting is that he is still a rich second generation and has some money, so he is enough to pay the money Jiang Taiwu asked for.
It is this image of a passionate policeman who is rich and has plenty of time, which makes the plot of this film not so abrupt.
In contrast, the unscrupulous policemen in the play are lazy, ineffective, and only seek performance in handling cases. Well, yes, the director also hacked a Korean policeman.
But this film still interprets the main theme. Kim Hyung-min, who has been a criminal policeman for more than 20 years, knows that once a criminal gets a taste of killing, he will never stop.
Therefore, he was mentally prepared to take off his police uniform and bring Jiang Taiwu to justice.
In July 2018, the real criminal committed suicide in prison.
But the 11 secret murder cases he left behind are still being traced by the real-life detective Kim Hyung-min (pseudonym)...
Some people say that these are Kim Yun's stone tablet memories of murders.
But I think it still needs a little more heat. Although it is adapted from real events, the ending of Memories of Murder is when Uncle Pie’s face appears on the big screen.
was filled with shock...
At the end of the film, they were also searching, one was looking for the murderer in the vast sea of people, and the other was looking for the deceased as always.
hopes are slim, but they never stop.
I really hope there are fewer movies based on real cases like this.
After reading it, I felt quite uncomfortable because it was too real.
It turns out that ghosts are not scary, but the human heart is scary.
