Memory Of A Murderer Korean Movie 2017

Okay, Let's Talk "Memory of a Murderer" (2017)

Confession time! I just watched Memory of a Murderer. And… well, prepare for some spicy opinions.

It’s a 2017 Korean movie, just in case you're thinking I’m talking about a silent film.

Amnesia! The Perfect Crime Starter Kit?

Our main character, a former serial killer, has Alzheimer's. Talk about a plot twist! He’s losing his marbles and possibly his murderous tendencies.

Or is he? That’s the million-dollar question. He thinks someone is mirroring his old crimes. Is he seeing things? Is he setting up someone else? My brain hurt trying to keep up!

Honestly, the premise alone is award-worthy. It's like the ultimate unreliable narrator situation.

The Cat-and-Mouse Game That Made Me Dizzy

The movie plays this clever game. Is Byeong-soo (our killer with memory issues) the hunter or the hunted?

I felt like I was on a rollercoaster. One minute I trusted him, the next I wanted to hide all the sharp objects.

It’s stressful! But in a good way, you know? Like when you accidentally drop your phone but manage to catch it just before it hits the pavement.

My (Slightly) Unpopular Opinion

Okay, here it comes. Deep breaths. I wasn't *completely* blown away.

Don't get me wrong, the acting was superb. Sol Kyung-gu as Byeong-soo is phenomenal. He nails the confusion and the underlying creepiness.

But… something felt a bit off. Maybe it was the pacing? Or perhaps the ending didn't quite stick the landing for me.

The Ending: Did It Click? Or Clunk?

The ending is definitely… memorable. Let’s just say that.

It's ambiguous, which some people love! But I prefer a little more closure.

I felt like I was left hanging off a cliff, wondering if I should build my own ladder or just accept my fate and fall.

Is It Worth Watching?

Despite my minor gripes, absolutely! It’s a well-made thriller.

The atmosphere is fantastic, the acting is top-notch, and the premise is unique. Even if I didn’t *love* it, I definitely enjoyed the ride.

Plus, it sparked some interesting conversations afterward. My friends and I debated the ending for a good hour. What's more fun than a little movie debate?

Final Verdict: A Slightly Flawed Gem

Memory of a Murderer is not perfect, but it's definitely worth checking out. Go in with an open mind and prepare to be confused, thrilled, and maybe even a little frustrated.

Just remember, it’s okay if you don’t think it's the greatest movie ever. We can still be friends!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a movie with a less ambiguous ending. Preferably something with talking animals. My brain needs a break.
