Chapter 340: The Storm (Thanks to the big 20,000 reward of 'Falling for Reading Books')
"Of course, there are some problems with the current judicial system, and there are some inaction in the ranks of the judicial workforce.
Personally, I understand that film is a form of artistic expression, through which social issues are magnified and presented to everyone. As for how to improve, let more people discuss. ”
Kim Yun-ho's previous answer has successfully avoided the reporter's question trap. But as he spoke, he actually jumped into the trap by himself.
Such a great opportunity, of course, the reporter will not let go.
"Mr. Kim Yoon-ho, are you expressing your dissatisfaction with the Korean judicial system?"
Kim Yunho shook his head: "There is no perfect system in the world, I just pointed out some imperfections.
For example, as mentioned in the film, whether to arrest and detain prisoners requires the approval of the prosecutor. It was precisely because the prosecutor handling the case was vague that the tragedy that followed.
It cannot be ruled out that some prosecutors are inactive, vague, and not serious about their work.
Of course, there are other distractions, South Korea has only 1,000 prosecutors, but they need to deal with dozens of cases every year.
In either case, it needs to be corrected in a timely manner. For example, to improve the personal quality and sense of responsibility of prosecutors, or to increase the number of prosecutors, and so on. ”
Hearing Kim Yun-ho's remarks, the reporter was excited, big news, absolutely big news.
A deputy prosecutor of the special investigation department not only criticized the police for their incompetence through the movie, but also opened fire on the prosecution. The news is absolutely exciting.
With the release of the movie "Chaser", this news can't be popular.
The reporter's questions gradually deviated from the questions explored in the film itself, and extended infinitely.
And Kim Yun-ho did not disappoint these reporters, and answered a lot of questions selectively.
One of the most interesting answers is Kim Yoon-ho's question about the word 'fairness'.
"Having worked in the Special Search Department for a while, I have a deep understanding of the problem of centralization.
The Procurators Law stipulates many things, the most fundamental of which is that in order to be fair and impartial, procurators must be independent in handling cases.
But for now, this independence has been greatly undermined.
For example, in the special search department where I work. All cases are assigned between the Minister and the Chief Officer, who decide which prosecutor will handle the case.
This creates an artificial injustice.
If the case has interests with the minister and the chief, they can leave the case to someone they trust to handle and finally get the result they want. ”
Kim Yoon-ho's answer. The spearhead is directed at Jung Jae-so. Although the reporters at the scene did not know the situation, as soon as the report came out, the people inside the special search department could see it at a glance.
Since you want to fight, I will fight with you.
Kim Yoon-ho has never been a person who is afraid of things, he is proud of that.
What's more, now there is Park Guoquan's will. He didn't have any worries.
Although Zheng Jae-so cannot be defeated all at once on this basis, it will at least bring considerable public opinion pressure to Zheng Jae-so. Let Jung Jae-so have more worries when he deals with him again.
As for how to uproot Jung Jae-so's power, it is not something that Kim Yun-ho is currently considering. The level is not enough, and he can't lay it out at all. This kind of big chessboard still needs to be controlled by Park Guoquan.
What he has to do is to charge, take the initiative to jump into the incident, and play the role of a good flag bearer.
Offstage, Xu Xian gradually saw the abnormality. It didn't feel right.
Na Hong-jin has been trying to interject, interrupting and stopping Kim Yoon-ho's speech. Others also made frequent eye gestures to Kim Yoon-ho.
None of that, it seems, should be said.
"Sister Yun'er, what's the situation now? Why do they all look so nervous? Xu Xian asked puzzled.
Yuna has much more social experience than Seo Hyun, and she has a certain understanding of this matter.
"He is telling the truth, but this kind of thing is not suitable for saying in public, it will make his boss and colleagues dissatisfied with him and give him small shoes."
Xu Xian nervously asked, "Will it be serious?" ”
Yuna also looked worried: "I don't know." In short, it's not a good thing.
I don't know what happened to him tonight, why did he suddenly become so righteous. This is not at all like his previous style of calculation. ”
Hear the words. Seo Hyun was entangled.
On the one hand, she felt that Kim Yunho was doing the right thing, and this kind of social problem should be spoken out and let everyone know. To discuss, to reform.
On the other hand, she was worried about Kim Yoon-ho.
As Kim Yoon-ho's girlfriend, she knows very well how hard Kim Yoon-ho works for her job. When handling cases, there is no rest time at all. Even the time to talk to her is very limited, let alone dated.
Kim Yoon-ho is so diligent and hardworking. She is really worried that Kim Yunho will be coldly treated, suppressed, and even collapsed in the end.
Noticing that Xu Xian's two eyebrows were twisted and almost twisted, Yun'er reached out and patted Xu Xian's arm and comforted:
"Don't worry, these are all speculations. I think he has his own reasons.
You think, how could a person as smart as him not think of the consequences of saying these words. He must have a way to deal with it.
You, it's better to be the woman behind him with peace of mind. Just give him moral support. ”
"Is it just moral support?" Seo Hyun muttered in a low voice, feeling as if he should make some changes and help Kim Yoon-ho when needed.
was supposed to be a happy night, but because of Kim Yun-ho's sudden lack of calmness, a shadow cast a shadow on the hearts of people who cared about him.
――
The next day, there was a blowout of discussion about "The Chaser".
Almost all newspapers reported on the film in the entertainment section. Even other sections can see the news of "Chaser".
Of course, the name 'Kim Yoon-ho' is the most mentioned.
Different from Asian countries such as Europe, the United States, China and Japan, South Korea's entertainment news industry is somewhat special.
There are very few newspapers in Korea that specialize in entertainment news. These entertainment news are often included in the entertainment section of mainstream newspapers.
For example, the cultural and entertainment section of South Korea's largest newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, includes performing arts and screen dynamic columns.
The relevant reports about "Chaser" appeared in the entertainment section.
The same is true for other mainstream newspapers such as JoongAng Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo.
There are also some entertainment weekly or monthly magazines in South Korea, which specialize in entertainment news reports, and it is inevitable that celebrities will gossip news. The readership is very limited, though.
Therefore, if you want to browse entertainment news, the fastest and most convenient way is to read the entertainment section of those mainstream newspapers.
It is because of this special industry situation. It was only then that Kim Yunhao and "The Chaser" appeared in the mainstream Korean newspapers and entered the field of vision of all Korean people.
"This is the real Korean movie!"
The headline was quoted in the entertainment section of the Chosun Ilbo, which read:
Audiences have always been interested in crime-themed films, not least because the genre naturally contains two of the film's most lethal elements: sex and violence. It is also because it is in no way possible to avoid social reality.
As a simple crime suspense film, "Chaser" did not avoid social reality, but took the initiative to charge against it. This is the cornerstone of its success.
For this type of film, create a sense of realism. It is the key to whether it can hold the audience's attention tightly.
This is, of course, because the brutal violence involved in criminal cases is itself supernormal and can easily produce direct irritation to people.
On this basis, if the audience can be convinced that what is happening on the screen is true, he will willingly and deeply immerse himself in it, step by step.
"The Chaser" is one such movie.
………
Of course, "The Chaser" is not an impeccable movie, and compared with classic films such as "Memories of Murder", it seems to be slightly inferior in terms of feelings, plot, performance, and rhythm.
But as a feature film debut. You can't help but give director Luo Hongzhen a thumbs up. I love and hate in my heart: this is the real Korean movie!
"Chaser" has opened up a whole new paradigm for crime genre films, and it represents the hope of Korean cinema.
In addition, another great thing about the film is that it deeply reveals and strongly criticizes the social reality - the inaction of the police and the flaws of the judicial system.
To paraphrase the screenwriter of this film, Kim Yun-ho: "There are still many areas that need to be improved in judicial work and the system. ”
The Chosun Ilbo commented in a modest manner, praising "The Chaser," briefly introducing Kim Yun-ho's identity, and relaying some of Kim Yoon-ho's views without any comment.
In contrast to the conservative Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo is more radical.
"Novelty, noir, strong criticism."
From this title, you can see one or two.
In the entertainment section of the JoongAng Daily, it was written:
"Chaser": A film that breaks the mold. Anti-**, anti-genre thriller crime films, full of accidents, and black to the end.
The core of the story is the 'pursuit', but it's not the wise cops who accomplish it. He's not a brave man, he's just a guy who's been described as a 'scumbag' by his call girls.
As for the murderer's side, a little white face is mediocre, without superfluous expressions, and his IQ is not high, and he will go wrong when he uses a blunt weapon such as a hammer.
It's not hard to see. This kind of character setting is different from traditional films of the same genre, but it can show the novel and unique charm of "Chaser".
"The Chaser" is a masterpiece, but it's more than just a masterpiece, because its noir style and expressive themes make it a classic.
The end of the story is not a warm reunion, but a cruel, tragic, and thought-provoking story.
It uses the tragic fate of its victims to indict this incompetent society.
It is the incompetence of the police, the incompetence of the judicial system, and the incompetence of 'justice' that makes women finally killed.
The police, who represent justice, had a chance to stop the tragedy, but because of the incompetent excuse of insufficient evidence, they released the murderer and gave the murderer a chance to commit the crime again.
Eventually, the police caught the killer, but only after committing the crime.
After watching this film, everyone can't help but have the same question: Is the so-called justice just to protect the cold dead body?!!
As a screenwriter, Kim Yoon-ho asks a question to society as a whole: Is 'justice' too far away from the disadvantaged?! (To be continued.) )
PS: The third watch was delivered, and the festival was saved. Tomorrow's update is unpredictable, three watches, four watches, it depends on the situation.
