Today, I want to talk to you about a movie that I wanted to tell a long time ago but I didn't dare to tell. This movie should have been seen by many people. It is called "Memoirs of Murder" and is based on the serial murders in Hwaseong from 1986 to 1991 in South Korea. "Memoirs of Murder"
Thirty-three years ago, a murderer committed ten murders in Hwaseong, South Korea in four years. The victims of these ten series of cases are all women, the youngest is only 13 years old, and the oldest is 71 years old . Moreover, the modus operandi was very cruel. Most of the victims were strangled alive, and their lower bodies were stuffed with various foreign objects such as hair, cigarette butts, ballpoint pens, and peach flesh.
The police used 2.05 million police and soldiers to check 21,000 suspects, 570 sets of DNA, 180 hairs, and 40116 fingerprints . However, no real culprit was found. After
committed the last crime, the murderer seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace. Decades have passed, just when everyone thought that the real murderer would never be caught again, the Korean media suddenly announced last night that the murderer who had "fleeed" for 33 years was finally found!
South Korea’s SBS TV: The suspect in the serial murder case of "Memories of Murder" was confirmed by DNA. Since 1994, the murderer has been sentenced to life imprisonment and detained in prison after raping and killing his wife’s sister. In other words, the real murderer who has been looking for decades has been under the nose of the police. Only 1 month ago, the South Korean police detected the same DNA from the criminal as the murderer.
In "Memories of Murder", the last myth in Song Kanghao's eyes finally found the answer today.
movie "Memories of Murder" highly restored the unknown details and investigation process in this case. The depression and deep sense of powerlessness revealed in the whole film of
will probably never be forgotten by anyone who has seen it. But if you don’t know the beginning and the end of this story, asked me to take you back 33 years ago-

This movie is known as , the most important work of Korean film history, and has countless diehard fans around the world. As long as I checked it online, it was all overwhelming praise:
"the best Korean movie in history"
"perfect film without flaws"
"such a film, looking at China, no director has the strength to shoot."
"In the first-class commercial techniques, it can be loaded with painful collective reflection, which is also one of the important reasons for the rise of Korean movies and dominance in Asia."
...
At the beginning of the film, the sky is high and the clouds are low, and the wind is blowing. It is like a picture of the life of the people during the military and political rule of South Korea in the 1980s. It is difficult for first-timers to think of the thrilling serial murders.
However, here is where police detective Douman (Song Kanghao) discovered 's first murder case. The two forms a sharp contrast in style.
An ancient story with a deep sorrow is about to begin.
Douman heard from his wife that Guanghao in the village had followed the dead, and the first suspect appeared.
Guanghao is actually a mentally impaired person with little mobility, his injured hands simply cannot do such a rigorous murder.
But Guanghao can accurately tell all the details of the crime, which made Douman and his subordinates intuitively believe that Guanghao was the murderer, and tortured him to extract a confession, even at the expense of falsifying evidence in order to quickly arrest him. . The two of
used the most primitive and clumsy way of judging the case, which was funny and annoying, and the film began to be filled with black humor.
However, Detective Su, who is a newcomer from Seoul for this case, has different ideas. He believes in the evidence even more. After discovering Guanghao's hand injury, he denied the possibility of Guanghao committing the crime.
Douman represents the conservative in the old era of , while Agent Su represents the intellectual in the new era of . With the collision of the two conflicting case handling styles, the case began to make breakthroughs- murderers like women in red, and every time there is a murder, someone on the TV station will order the same love song.
policewoman deliberately disguised as the killer’s favorite pairElephant, the action here is proceeding intensely and orderly, but only a transvestite uncle was caught. The real murder of
is cruelly carried out on the other side. The wonderful thing about the
movie is that it will give interlocking clues at every critical moment, allowing the audience to approach the truth step by step along with the story.
can immediately extinguish the fire of hope, making you feel the powerlessness of being molested and not caught.
For example, a suspect who vents his desires at the murder scene in the middle of the night is just a perverted uncle with special habit;
finally finds the survivor in the case, but can only tell that the murderer’s hands are very soft, other than that. Useful clues;
and Guanghao, the only one who witnessed the case, was also hit by a train when he was found by the police...
approached the truth again and again, and was disappointed again and again.
Until the fifth homicide occurred, the last suspect, Park Mou, appeared. He met all the characteristics of the murderer in the clues that the police had.
went to the TV station to order songs on the day of each murder. He was agile and calm. Most importantly, his hands were very soft.
However, guessing out of thin air does not lead to death. The most direct evidence of is still missing . Fortunately, the police have sent Park’s DNA to the United States for comparison with the semen left by the murderer on the victim. As long as the results come out, Park can be arrested.
But at this time, the case took a turn for the worse. The director used a trick to make the plot ups and downs, so that everyone fell into the silent valley of despair from the hope of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon.
Park has disappeared, and then the sixth body appears, a high school girl.
Agent Su, who had always been rational, collapsed. He seemed to hear the murderer hiding in the dark and mocking himself, the righteous hand was powerless. He frantically found Park, took out his gun to shoot him, but was stopped by Dou Man at the last moment.
Here, Agent Douman and Agent Su have successfully completed the transformation of personality. It seems that they do not conform to the character setting, but everything is reasonable. They have perfected their personalities to be fuller and the character image has been further sublimated.
is not only a murder case, but the memories of Korea from that era are also integrated into it and become a background.
Seventeen years later, Douman, who had resigned from business and went through the first homicide scene again, was told by a simple little girl that someone was watching here not long ago, and said that he missed doing it here before. Thing .
Obviously, this person is the murderer. Revisiting the old place? Nostalgic for the masterpieces of the past?
But when Douman asked about the murderer's appearance, the girl broke all hope with a single sentence: is very ordinary.
is very common, so common you can forget it at a glance. This means that this murderous madman does not have the special appearance that the world thinks, he may be mixed in the crowd, and he has even been on the sidelines to watch the police handle the case.
Next, the finishing touch of the whole work appeared.
, full of shock and disappointment, thought about something, suddenly turned his head and stared at the screen. The picture freezes here, and the film ends.

The movie is named "Memoirs of Murder", which is the memory of the survivors of the unfortunate, and the director is also helping the murderer to state his memories.
uses a special "dialogue" method to challenge An Ran's murderer who was sitting in the cinema watching this film. Even if forgets those who were killed more than ten years ago, we have not forgotten, let alone allow you to forget.
The last shot of this film, known as the finishing touch of the whole film, has also been rated as one of the most exciting shots in film history. The director used this silent monologue to complete this air dialogue, as if telling the murderer in front of the screen, , look at it, I will find you one day.
At that time, the real culprit of the case was not found. When watching the movie, I thought that the real culprit might sit in the cinema if nothing had happened, facing Song Kanghao's tearful eyes in the last shot of the movie, and felt cold behind his back. (The results now prove that I might have thought too much at the time, but in the context of more than ten years ago, the arrangement of this shot is really very delicate.)
reminds of the prototype of the police in reality, the police officer of Hwaseong, Ha Shengjun, and For this murderer who didn't know who it wasI wrote a letter:
"Have you watched that "Memories of Murder"? As a policeman who can't even catch criminals, I don't have the face to go into the cinema anyway, I can only secretly go into the car theater by myself Look inside...even if one day I am gone, my younger generations will arrest you. We are always making progress. Please make sure not to die before me, we will definitely meet, right."
finally come!
is more real and cruel, the prosecution period has passed, and the murderer may not receive the legal sanctions he deserves. The ending of is so similar to the arrangement in the movie. Give you hope, but also despair. The cruelest is always reality.
