“Both of those serial killers were very unreliable narrators. “As a storyteller, I thought the tapes provided incredible insight into Dahmer and this unique characteristic of him actually being very forthright,” Berlinger notes, contrasting Dahmer’s open admission of his lurid crimes to the obfuscation of serial killers Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, subjects of earlier Berlinger docuseries for Netflix. I also know that this is based on the Hwaseong serial murders that the investigation ended in 2019 with Lee Chopin-Jae being caught.Former President Obama To Participate In Live Discussion Of Netflix Documentary Series, 'Working: What We Do All Day'

I just happened to watch Zodiac first, hence the comparison.

And I'm so glad it's on Hulu because now I can rewatch it whenever the hell I want.Įdit: I know that this movie came before Zodiac!! I even put the years of both movies in this write-up so that people would know I’m not dumb. But goddamn, what a beautiful piece of storytelling this is. I could honestly talk about this one for ever so I'll stop before I write a novel. It's so chilling knowing that the real life perpetrator likely watched this film-which is why that last look that Song gives is so impactful. And knowing the history behind the basis of this movie makes it worse. And the bandaid, and Seo covering her up-The pain that was felt by everyone on screen in that moment transferred through my laptop screen and into my soul. That final victim? They might as well have knocked on my door and punched me in the gut, that's how awful that was.

The intense emotion and pain that was evoked in me upon finding each victim and realizing that the killer was too far ahead of the law for them to catch up to him.I honestly haven't felt so strongly about a plot in years. But it kind of leaves it up to each person-that's something I love about this film. I also noticed myself trying to solve the case with them: I, personally, thought it was most DEFINITELY Park Hyeon-gyu who did it. I found myself laughing even though there was an investigation into some horrible murders going on. But *Memories of Murder* somehow combined a crime thriller with an absurdist comedy with a piece of political commentary in a way that I've never in my life seen done before. Though the film was incredibly unique, I found myself reminded of David Fincher's *Zodiac* (2007) at times-the dark humor, the topics. Seriously! I don't know a lick of Korean, but the intent behind each performance was so clear that I became lost in the moment. Each performance by every single actor was 100% there and honest and YET AGAIN WITH BONG I found myself not needing to look at the subtitles.

The cinematography was simple but extremely effective, and the score was beautiful. Seriously, Seo's 360 degree character arc was so believable and chilling up until the very end! And that final look to the audience that Song gives? Goose bumps.

The characterization by Song Kang-ho (Park) and Kim Sang-kyung (Seo) was hauntingly good. Seriously, I just finished it only minutes ago and I'm still shaking. I had an inkling that it would be amazing, since I love Bong Joon-ho's other works (The Host is a personal favorite of mine), but I had no idea that my entire essence as an actor and viewer would be impacted. This one's been on my watch list for years and I'm ashamed it took me this long to get around to watching it.
