Tags: bedell, memories, murder, of, passion, RCL1213 The openness of Korean films is (in my opinion) the biggest difference when compared to American films. Try and prove me wrong! Post an American movie where a conclusion doesn’t exist (or is not strongly implied). American movies like to have the story conclude or tied into a nice neat package without loose ends the story has to be spoon fed and then have a definitive ending. In this story (which once again is based on a true story) there is no clear murderer more likely than not the murderer was someone not even in the film. In American movies the criminal is always caught or strongly implied. ![]() This and many other Korean movies have extraordinarily open endings, no American movie would have such an open ending to a criminal story. This makes the movie seem much more real than some amazing tale of how an estranged person is caught for murder. But here there’s nothing unique the murderer is just an ordinary person that blends in. Most detective stories have conclusions, have something that leads the detective to the murderer, some hard concrete evidence that puts the villain behind bars.

The story continues like this Seo tries to look for a pattern of murders while Park looks for something that makes the murderer unique. Later a man who masturbates in the forest where the murder took place was tortured and confessed this man, however, was also innocent and was released by Seo. They first torture a somewhat mentally handicapped boy because people said he followed one of the victims around he eventually confesses but wasn’t actually guilty and was released by Seo. For those that don’t care about spoilers, read on below.ĭetective Park’s and Detective Seo’s styles of investigation strongly clash Park finds anyone he suspects and tortures a confession out of them with his violent assistant Cho. Memories of Murder is about two detectives (local detective Park and detective from Seoul Seo) trying to solve one of the first known serial murders in Korea that took place between 19. ![]() Like Silmido, Memories of Murder was based upon a true story. ![]()
