On a construction site in Shuntian, South Korea, Cui Mou, a peasant woman, is sharing her Magli rice wine with three workers.

After a few drinks, four people had unbearable abdominal pain and couldn't afford to fall to the ground. Cui and worker Zheng died on the spot, and the other two resumed their lives after being sent to the hospital urgently.

Afterwards, the police detected highly toxic potassium cyanide from the bottle at the scene, which triggered a premeditated murder case of "poisoning".

This case is the "Magli rice wine poisoning case" that once caused a sensation in South Korea.

1 1 years later, based on this case, director Park Sang-hyun wrote a screenplay and made it into a movie.

The film is called Innocence, starring Shin Hye sun, a Korean temperament beauty.

After the film was released this year, it occupied the first place in the box office list for two weeks in a row and got a high score of 8.63 on the Korean film website Naver.

"Poisoning case"

Antaizhu, Qiu Renhuai, Huang, Chi, Fang and Cui Fengxiu are sincere brothers, among whom Qiu Renhuai, who became the mayor, has the highest achievement. He is running for governor, and we don't see each other very often on weekdays because we are busy.

One day, Antai died of illness, and everyone came to see him off, and several good brothers got together again.

During the funeral, the five brothers decided to have a good drink together for this rare party.

But what they didn't expect was that the wine had been poisoned.

Chi Rong De died on the spot, and four others were rushed to the hospital. After police investigation, Antaizhu's wife Cai became the biggest poisoning suspect and was arrested.

Taixiu's family used to be a family of four. The eldest daughter really can't stand her father's long-term abuse. After graduating from high school, she left home and became a lawyer at Seoul National University. The youngest son, Zhenxiu, was born mentally retarded. Although I am an adult, my IQ is only 10 years old, and I have been living with my mother.

After the incident, Zhenren also saw the news that his mother was arrested on TV.

Although she had bad feelings for her mother, she went home to be her mother's defense lawyer for the first time. At this time, the old flower son suffered from severe amnesia. Zhenren thinks that with her mother's current intelligence level, it is impossible to plan a murder.

However, after investigation by the police, the pesticide bottles scattered around the crime scene were consistent with the pesticide residues contaminated by Hanako, and almost all the evidence pointed to Hanako as the murderer.

In order to find out the evidence in favor of his mother, Zhenren began to investigate. With the deepening of the investigation, she found some tricks. In order to close the case as soon as possible, the police seem to have done their homework in secret.

The police also coerced Hanako, who was unconscious, to sign the confession. Not only that, Zhenren also felt the deep hostility from the villagers. They tried to force Zhenren to give up her defense by violence and intimidation, and some even tried to force her to death.

The ambassador behind the scenes, Zhenren, turned out to be Mayor Qiu lying in the hospital.

Mayor Qiu was busy preparing for the governor's election and didn't want to rock the boat at this critical period, so he tried his best to send Hanako to prison in Dachuan Town.

The seemingly reasonable reason is actually not simple.

A land transfer document exposes the ugliness of the six brothers in the money society.

Just when Zhenren felt helpless, an unexpected thing made her find an opportunity.

One night, Zhenren found someone sneaking into her mother's house. When the man fled in a hurry, she found that what he was looking for was a land ownership transfer registration certificate.

It turns out that as early as 1998, An Taizhu, who couldn't make any money by operating a quarry, listened to the advice of a geologist, raised money with the townspeople, and bought a mountain in the next town at a high price from Qiu Renhuai's relatives, thinking that he could dig a gold mine from it, but he was framed by Qiu Renhuai.

Because it is just an ordinary land, the geologists around Antaizhu are also guided by Qiu Renhuai. After the gold rush scam, Antaizhu was bent on making a comeback. He also wanted to use all his connections to enter the political circle, so he and Qiu Renhuai and other five brothers decided to run for mayor.

But at this time, Qiu Renhuai's appeal among brothers is higher than that of Antaizhu. He finally kicked Antaizhu out and went to the mayoral election himself. Antaizhu deeply felt the betrayal of his brothers. He became angry from embarrassment and threatened to poison his five brothers with pesticides.

However, Antaizhu, which lost everything, also lost its former glory. He became self-destructive and never left his hand, so he contracted cirrhosis. Later, in order to treat liver disease, he had to sell the mountain to Fang and Chi at a low price of 40 million won on 20 16.

At this time, Qiu Renhuai, as the mayor, quickly contributed to the construction of future casinos on this land, and the land price of this land also soared, making Qiu Renhuai and his gang earn a lot of money.

According to these evidences, Zhenren thinks that her father An Taixiu is the real murderer. Although he has passed away, he hates it because of his interests. He poisoned the wine he came home on his deathbed just to poison Qiu Renhuai and others.

But then she accidentally found a torn photo and a broken old mobile phone at home, which overturned these judgments and revealed a bigger secret.

Evidence pointing to the real killer

While sorting out things at home, Zhenren accidentally found another photo hidden behind her parents' wedding photo, which was torn to pieces. That's a wedding photo of her mother Hanako and another man. So Hanako remarried. Her ex-husband is Lin, the son of the quarry owner.

At that time, the quarry owner wanted his son to inherit the quarry, which caused dissatisfaction among the workers. Antaizhu conspired with five brothers to let Lin come out to catch fish in Xiaoxihu, and then pushed him into the water and drowned him alive.

Later, Antaixiu became a quarry manager, but Hanako, who was pregnant with Zhenren at that time, was kept in the dark. Because she was at a loss, she married Antaixiu.

Because the real person is actually Lin's daughter, she was abused by Antaizhu since she was a child. When she was a child, she accidentally hurt her brother's head while working behind his back. She always thought that she was beaten by her father for a long time because she caused her brother's mental retardation. When she learned the truth, she was filled with indignation.

Hanako finally learned the truth that her ex-husband Lin was killed by Antaizhu and others. In order to get revenge, Hanako drugged Antaizhu's food, and then tried to poison five people, including Qiu Renhuai, who came to mourn with poisoned wine at the funeral, and finally three of them died.

Ren Zhen found an old mobile phone from home, which contained a video recording the tragic situation of Antaizhu after taking poison. These are all recorded by her brother Zhen Xiu for fun.

All this evidence is enough to convict her mother, but the power of life and death is in her own hands, which makes her face a dilemma.

The dilemma between justice and love

When the truth came out, Zhenren felt very heavy.

In the end, she chose family rather than professional ethics and fair attitude as a lawyer, and instigated her brother Zhenxiu to perjure herself in court to testify against her dead father Antaizhu.

In the end, Hanako regained his freedom, and Qiu Renhuai lost his reputation because of land transactions, and he also lost his qualification to run for governor.

The ending of the story returns to the theme of family, which is also the consistent routine of Korean movies. This ending is not "harmonious". If it is in our mainland, there will definitely be no trial, which is also an insurmountable gap between the two countries in crime movies.

On the surface, the title of the film Innocent refers to the fact that a real person excused her mother's flower son, but in fact, it is not only a legal self-incrimination, but also eliminates her inner guilt.

Hanako always thought that her love for fish killed Lin, and she lived with this guilt for most of her life. When she learned the truth, her desire for revenge was so strong. Zhenren also blamed her brother's mental retardation on her childhood accident, which made her feel guilty about her brother all the time.

The emotional entanglements between these family members are really revealing, tear-jerking, intertwined with poisoning cases, constructing an interlocking suspense story, and also tearing down the ugly state of people fighting for interests in the money society. The film is nearly 2 hours long, and I don't feel procrastination at all.

Although the innocent story comes from the poisoning case of Magli rice wine, compared with the real case, the emotional line between the director and the mother is touching, and the passionate interpretation of the heroine Sun Xinhui is the reason for the film's success.

Although it is a film based on literary dramas, there are also many action dramas in the film. Shin Hye sun should not only create the depth of the role, but also deal with those dangerous action scenes, experiencing various "hardships" such as getting caught in the rain, being splashed with water and being beaten.

But even so, she still maintains the charming and elegant temperament of the role, and she can bring her own aura every time she dresses up. As a young post-80s actor, it is not easy to do this. Therefore, Pigou, while discovering the beauty acting of Xin Huishan, also thinks that Innocence is actually an excellent Korean film this year.
