Today I will tell you about the Korean thriller “Door Lock”, which is extremely contemplative and terrifying.
The scariest part of the whole movie is that whether it is the dead lady or the heroine Cho Kyung‑min, they have a strong sense of security, a high sense of safety, and know how to protect themselves.
But even so, they were still killed.
They will maintain a high level of vigilance when walking at night and let those who follow them pass first.
Cho Kyung‑min lives alone, so put a lot of men’s items at home to improve safety.
She will notice some small, wrong details, and then immediately respond.
For example, when he discovered that the door of the combination lock cover was lifted, Cho Kyung‑min decisively changed the password on the spot.
When something suspicious happens, don’t drag and chirp and call the police quickly.
When the police can’t help, they choose first aid and ask for monitoring.
When taking the elevator, he found that someone did not press the button and was on the same floor as him. Cho Kyung‑min chose to stay in the elevator and let the other person get off first.
Cho Kyung‑min will look around when he returns home to open the door, and wait for others in the corridor to enter before opening the door.
When she finds something is wrong, she will run away immediately, no matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, call the police to talk about it.
After the police put her under surveillance, Cho Kyung‑min went home and immediately set up to check every move at home.
These are all manifestations of women’s high vigilance, and many women may not even be able to do it.
Cho Kyung‑min did it all, but so what, the danger still happened one after another, and it was the protagonist’s halo that made her survive in the end.
For women, the scariest part of “Door Lock” is this. It is like a nightmare that cannot be escaped, with a deep sense of powerlessness.
As a woman, what exactly should we do to avoid harm?
I can only say that I feel very silent.
How far do single girls need to protect themselves and their loved ones?
At the beginning, the person hugged her to sleep naturally like her boyfriend, the alarm clock rang, got up and washed.
Without knowing it, I might even mistake it for a couple’s morning routine.
At that time, I was curious why Cho Kyung‑min was unaware.
Later, I learned that every time that pervert would cover Cho Kyung-min’s mouth and nose with an anesthetic handkerchief, to make sure she was unaware for a period of time.
This is also the reason why she felt very tired when she got up every day during that time.
Cho Kyung-min will consciously check whether the door lock cover, toilet cover, etc. are different from when she left.
The first time she was suspicious, she changed the lock code because of the door lock cover.
That night, she clearly heard someone trying to open the door of her house. When the man realized that he couldn’t open it, he twisted the handle very violently.
Cho Kyung‑min was terrified. After making sure that there was no one in the cat’s eyes, she opened the door and found a cigarette at the door.
She decisively chose to call the police.
However, the two police officers who came here rejected Cho Kyung-min’s proposal to extract fingerprints from this cigarette.
They said, “Such investigations can only be done when the crime actually occurs.”
At that moment, my heart was exactly the same as her expression. Confused, disappointed, helpless.
In fact, “HELPLESS” is the most intuitive feeling this movie gave me.
When Cho Kyung‑min found that the man had been dismembered and he was chasing after him in a dilapidated alley.
After returning home and locking all the door locks of Ann, he sat by the bed and opened the monitoring records, and found that he had been under his bed long ago.
Cho Kyung‑min’s hands and feet couldn’t stop shaking, when he reached out from the bottom of the bed and grabbed her ankle.
When Cho Kyung‑min saw the police officer, he thought he was finally rescued. When she approached, she found that the police officer’s body was down, and when she saw the person’s face…
However, there are a few points in “Door Lock” that still make me feel a little warm and moved.
Cho Kyung-min, who started to be robbed of customers in the film and kept silent, will learn to fight for himself with the encouragement of his friends.
No matter how other people avoid it, how they suspect Cho Kyung-min, Oh Hyo-joo is always by his side to support and encourage her. Even when danger came, Oh Hyo‑joo desperately saved Kyung‑min.
Similarly, when he discovered that Oh Hyo‑joo was in danger, Kyung‑min rushed to the scene like crazy, regardless of his desire to save her.
Even when he was in danger, Kyung‑min had never been so brave.
Faced with his initial care and suspicion, the police officer who sincerely apologized, finally sacrificed his life in order to save Cho Kyung-min…
There are two more interesting points~
For example, that person, who does everything to monitor and imprison girls, is very gentle with the cat in front of his house.
I have a portion of the porridge I drank, and when I mutilated the body, I would hold it away abruptly.
It was the same person. After Cho Kyung‑min rejected his courtship, his eyes flushed red, as if he was about to cry.
This is, what a pathological and contradictory existence.
At the end of “Door Lock”, it was Cho Kyung-min who rescued himself desperately.
Even when the narcotics did not retreat, she would desperately escape to the imprisoned house against the physical weakness.
Cho Kyung‑min comforted herself while bumping downstairs, and cheered herself up.
At that moment, I seemed to see myself facing dangers and difficulties even though I was so scared to death, I never gave up, and moved on without time to wipe my tears.
No one can be your hero, only you.
Finally, I hope that all kind, upright and beautiful people will be cherished and can live peacefully and happily~
