b s 18年标记想看，终于在25年的进修中把这部电影看完。一开始感觉是一种喜剧与犯罪的结合，总在各种警察无能的闹剧里回到真凶的追查，中间穿插了军政府的各种80年代的管制，虽然仅仅是一瞥，像是新世纪对于当年的回眸。导演的剪辑也很创新，一个场景连接另一个场景，往往充满了断层，给人一种震颤，又有一种意外之喜。推至电影最后，那种绝望感已经蔓延出来，之前的插科打诨也烟消云散，当那幕经典的望穿银幕的凝视出现时，哪怕心中已有所准备，但依然被震撼到，所有的郁闷都汹涌而出，如果这个镜头持续超过10秒，我一定会眼泪夺眶而出。 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Dani G There's a reason why this is considered among the best from this century, and the one that put Bong Joon-Ho on the cinematic world map. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Priyan B Finest thriller. Rating: 8.7/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Sarfaraz A Bong Joon-ho, a talented filmmaker, co-wrote and directed this South Korean mystery neo-noir crime thriller. The film is based on Kim Kwang-lim's 1996 play "Come to See Me", which was inspired by South Korea's first serial killings. Starring Song Kang-ho, Kim Sang-kyung, and others. Kim Hyung-koo's stunning photography garnished the smart screenplay. The film is set in the 1980s, in rural South Korea, where women are murdered on rainy nights. Two rural detectives (SONG Kang-ho and Kim Roi-ha) are led by their inept supervisor. They both violate legal obligations and use personal judgment to suspect, inflicting moderate torture, harassment, and intimidation. A new investigator arrives from the capital, Seoul, with serious determination and the ability to utilize logic over suspicion. The trio rounds up a few suspects, but they are freed with no charges made against them. Innocent bodies continue to fall as cops fail to solve the crime for years. I enjoy crime movies, particularly investigative ones. The film is intriguing from the beginning. Bong's directorial and co-written script do not shy away from depicting the rustic lifestyles of the rural people. Song and Kim offer strong performances, particularly Song, who remained the driving force throughout the film despite his character's insensitivity toward women and children. The film has one of cinema's best "chase scene", which reminded me of the film "The Chase 2008 (dir: Na Hong-jin)", which I saw long before this film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Mark C (Spoiler) This is the type of ending that will stick of a viewer. Knowing next to nothing about the film and its subject matter, I watched it with a detective's eye and was hoping for a conclusive ending. About 3/4 of the way, I realize this is not what I signed up for, but instead of getting annoyed or mad, the ending scene sealed it for me. After learning this is based on a true story and reading up a bit on it, bumped it up another 0.5 star to 4.5. Song Kang-ho was excellent in this. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review S R Something very different from your usual serial killer movie. Korean 80s culture and simpleton detectives to boot make for an oddball humorous at times mystery. I appreciated its uniqueness, but it was not my favorite overall with its moments of harsh violence and crudity. Saw on Tubi. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
