Does Memories of Murder scare you?

The narrative of the film is full of black thriller and suspense atmosphere, which easily reminds people of david fincher's Seven Deaths and the Chinese Zodiac, and also proves Bong Joon ho's mature directing skills. In the film, there is a complete picture of the murderer's crime. It's a dark night with heavy rain. The woman walked on the path outside the factory with an umbrella. Interlaced light and shadow constantly pass through the wheat fields swaying in the wind. Fast-paced music and women's frightened expressions make the atmosphere tense to the extreme. The director reproduced the horror of the murderer hidden in the dark with light, action and editing. In the pouring rain and howling cold wind, a young woman's life disappeared again. The whole movie is like a rainy night. A flash of lightning occasionally tears the sky in the soft lens, and then returns to darkness again after a brief light. The dark atmosphere in the interrogation room is also impressive. Only the light on the actor's face can be seen during interrogation, but this low-key photography style has been affecting the audience's desire for the truth. Gu Yong, the assistant of the police officer Park who used force, couldn't stand the arrogance of the suspect. With the sound of shattered lights, the interrogation hall became dark, which not only satirized the style of the police station, but also hinted at the tragic fate of Gu Yong's amputation. Cool-tone images dominate the film.

The image charm of memories of murder is also reflected in the handling of some details. Such as the recurring image of "train" in the film. When police officer Park was looking for clues in the reeds, the train passed behind him for the first time, laying the groundwork for the following plot: Guanghao, a fool who was once suspected as a suspect, was buried under the roaring wheels of the train, and the only witness in the case was lost in a pool of blood; When Agent Su hit the third suspect he identified as the murderer, it was also near the tunnel of the train. The train still flew away, and the suspect who was proved innocent left safely, leaving only agent Su feeling dejected. The "train" element has an emotional meaning of disappearing and going away, especially in the tone of the whole movie.
