Cop Horror - Se7en and Memories of a Murder
Summary
In this episode of Horror Joy, Brian and Jeff explore the themes of justice, truth, and morality through the examination of two iconic cop horror films: David Fincher's 'Seven' (1995) and Bong Joon-ho's 'Memories of Murder' (2003).
We discuss:
· The portrayal of police ineptitude and brutality
· Sin as a model for understanding moral judgements
· The impact of male ambition on women's bodies
· The bleakness of a futureless world
So, grab your detective kit and come along as we travel the long way out of hell up to the light. But make sure to keep your head along the way (and don’t dropkick anyone), lest you become vengeance, lest you become wrath.
