Between 1986 and 1991, a series of brutal murders occurred in Hwaseong, South Korea, which became the inspiration for the movie 'Memories of Murder'.
'Memories of Murder', a South Korean crime-drama film directed by Bong Joon-ho, was released, bringing international attention to the Hwaseong serial murders case.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
