110 Cultural Post #5

I like to watch Korean movies very much. Recently, I watched a 2012 action thriller film directed by Jung Byung-gil, called Confession of Murder, starring Jung Jae-young and Park Si-hoo. The film talked about a police officer who is haunted for failing to capture a serial killer 15 years back. He returned to the case after a novelist publishes the book I am the Murderer, claiming responsibility for the crime. The novelist cannot be sued because the statute of limitation on murder has already passed. This film is based on a real story, and because of it, South Korea decided to extend the statute of limitation on murder from 15 years to 25 years. It is really interesting to see that a country's policy is receptive to movies and changes their policy accordingly.

I have watched this film, too. I have to say this is a really good movie and I love it so much. This film is wonderful not only because the plots are innovative but also it really let people think about the country's policy. I will definitely watch it again!
