  • This trailer does this film no justice. Trust me, you wouldn't wan't to miss this brilliantly acted, brilliantly paced, brilliantly shot, brilliantly written, brilliantly directed (etc.) BRILLIANT FILM. I was hesitant to watch this after viewing the trailer but I am so glad I did! Hands down, the BEST detective&thriller movie! :D

  • who the killer..

    anybody know... 

  • @manrani90 This movie is based on a true story that happened in South Korea in 1986. The police has never been able to find out who the killer is ...

  • @harpotdramal yeah i know that based on a true story...

    just confused..who was the killer...tq...

  • @manrani90 no1 knows, but i bet he sat in the cinema just like a normal person, wonder how he feels when he saw the last scene.

  • @naonaomika1 yeah,,,tq

  • @Davuthzor thank you, looks pretty cool , ill check it out :) reminds me of dirty carnival, ^^

  • @Kleeeenex1 man from nowhere, vengeance trilogy, MOTHER, I saw the devil

  • South Korean films are by far some of the best in the world...it is hard to find films that have not only great story but also greatly shot stories, this is just one amongst a bunch of films that are amazing.

  • Gosh this is such a gorgeously crafted film. And i really have to say the ending scene is once again, just beautiful. The cinematography - the music, the lines, just the whole aura of that end just made me feel like I was one with the characters there.

    Truly one of the best films I ever saw.

  • @MaxPlanck011 It's really easy to believe, when i watch american movies, i have to put on the french subtitles, not that i need them but because i don't have the choice, it's always a shitload of crap !

    I'm almost scared to ask about the translation of one of my favorite movies, Old Boy...

  • @MaxPlanck011 I wish i could agree with you but i don't understand the language. Lucky you !

    :)

  • Fantastic Fantastic movie

  • I think this is the best korean movie I ever watch, believe me I watch alot of muder movies, Memories of Murder and Se7en are the best two.

  • @Mrsolowing0582 Zodiac was also great i think. Many people thaught it was too long but i think it's just a brilliant movie.

    But yeah Memories of murder and Se7en are in my top 5 movie liste about serial killers.

    Sorry for my bad english :(

  • @Fa300 i agree, i also thought zodiac was brilliant

  • @octavionegron David Fincher is the man :)

  • these subtitles are horribly wrong..

  • thank you Tarantino ;)

  • The trailer just basically told the whole story

  • I'd really like to see this film! Bong Joon-ho is, in my opinion, one of the most brilliant directors in the film industry.

  • @ZoeSquared21

    Isn't it in your scroll list on the right? If not, then look for this:

    Memories Of Murder - Full Movie Pt 1/12

  • 11 seconds in and already a spoiler lol if u really wanna watch a movie avoid trailers

  • @mitch2808

    Why a spoiler? It is well known that this movies is based on a true story. Everyone knows that the murderer is not caught. So it's not a spoiler!

  • @Uushilumbu79 i

    im pretty sure there are some people that dont live in asia who are not familiar with korean history, not like they teach this shit in school or something

  • @mitch2808

    This movie is not a whodunit, but its focus is rather the struggle between the two different cops on the one hand and the tensions between the police and the inhabitants of the village on the other hand.

  • @Uushilumbu79 yea i see what you mean but its just that im tired of every trailer that i watch having scenes from the end of the movie lol

  • Thank God for my beautiful Korean wife who turned me onto Korean cinema.One of the best movies I've ever seen.fucking brilliant. saw it almost two years ago and it still makes it' s way into my mind frequently.

  • @kksam Ha! Ive seen photos of your wife shes a freaking dog if Ive ever seen one. Pretty disgusting human being. Clearly your ability to tell pretty from ugly is non existent. You call your beautiful sister disgusting yet your wife is atrocious. Your kids are destined for ugliness.

  • @maluminse1

    Keep that shit off youtube you fucking troll

  • @eddyc09 Shut your stupid mouth. You havent been following. kksam is the troll he follows Maluminse around and beats his sister.

  • Comment removed

  • @eddyc09 I agree. He shouldn't be saying such sick things about my family. I would never say such things to him.

  • At first,i was sceptical but then it changed and turned into an amzingly made film,i fell in love with this,brilliantly made and great acting!!!!!!

  • So DAm N.,. GREAT MOVIE!!! all the way again from korea... Its very mind blogging.. KOreans are good making a crime/mystery movie... ooops also include romance =p

  • The chaser is awesome

  • @picky72 FUCK YEAH! It's my favorite movie all of time, actually.

  • Oldboy is one of my favorite movies and i really wanna see this, which is better?

  • absolutely superb movie, also with incredibly good musical score

  • amazing movie a true great - also recommend the chaser,a bittersweet life and oldboy, sympathy for mr vengance, the good the bad and weired.

  • this movie was on sundance channel

  • LOL jump kick @ 1:25!!!

  • who is the killer???

  • hahah. They really prefer the jumpkick.

  • @modjaffamodjaffa There's always a jump kick in K-films, haha.

  • best korean thriller movie...

  • God bless korean films i started to hate the american hits(and movies in general because of that) but these little gems i enjoyed  very much.

  • yeah this movie really should have gotten a lot more attention that it got.

    up there with seven as far as thrillers are concerned. atleast to me.

  • ok there are two jump kicks in this 2 minute trailer. whats up? it seems out of place and makes this trailer look very silly.

  • I want to watch this movie.

  • Loved this movie. Saw it without knowing much about it. Thinks this trailer reveals things that you should't know about before seeing it.

  • Comment removed

  • damn, these korean movies are so strong. MOM, oldboy, the chaser... masterpieces you simply can't forget.

    plz remember always watch an original with subs

  • :) this movie was very good' one of my fav movies ever made, plus this movie opened my eyes to a new world of Korean movies, and this movie is a must see!

    and the Chugyeogja (the chaser) is allso good but this one is much better :) hope we will see more movies like this.

  • sad letter is the name of the song...

    this is one of my favourite films of all time!!!

    I LOVE IT

    Thank you Korea very much!

  • whats the name of the song that was played on the radio?

  • I have this DVD.good movie.

    Korea seems to have bunch of useless and violent cops at least in this movie.

  • @tazago till the late 1980s they were allowed to beat the suspects until they talked. That resulted in many problems, like in this movie, innoncent people claiming they commited the crime due to those beatings

  • 어떻게 경찰이 180만명이 동원됨?

  • I love this movie and fasnating w/ actual murder. Per detective Nam Sang Kuk (actual officer) said that actual killer might be 67yrs oldman who died at his house in 1993. He said that they found three gray hair at the crime scene. Unfortunately, they did not have such technology to compare those hairs to his DNA. Anyway, this is one good movie and enjoyed it very much!

  • i knew i saw that guy in oldboy

  • this movie is a genuine scary monster...

  • I dont know why this movie isnt more well known, i heard it did well domestically but its not even a cult film in the west. More people need to see this film, its as good as films like The Zodiac and Se7en

  • Because most Westerners, especially Americans, are too lazy to read subtitles, and more so if it's an asian film.

  • Generalizations are for the ignorant.

  • song kang ho and choi min sik those 2 r best korean n asian actors iv seen!!! "Old Boy" and "Memories of Murder" foking best!!!

  • foking best?

  • Agree. Song Gang Ho is for me the best korean actor, maybe even the best asian actor right now.

    About Memories of Murder, I still consider it the best suspense/thriller of the decade even after seeing The Chaser. The Chaser is an awesome movie but I think it takes a lot (voluntarely or involunterly) from MM. The chase scenes, the way the victims are "taken cared of"...but yes...it's definetly mandatory for the ones who enjoyed this one along with Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

  • I also think, that MoM is far greater than the Chaser. Even though i like that movie too.

  • Song Gang Ho 송강호 is an awesome actor.. he was also in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

    Fantastic movie

  • If u like this movie then u need to find 'The Chaser' asap.

  • the number 1 of corean movies

  • oldboy is number 1

  • hahaah corean

  • don't be stupid, i'm sorry to don't speak english very well, french and in france we say coree. fuck you

  • haha why are you so sensitive?

    stop acting like a little angry nerd haha

  • and rastweed in french is bitch with small di..,

  • what an ass.

  • This is one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films(search it up, the video's on youtube).

  • films like this are the reason why i LOVE foreign cinema. it really is a shame that the work of brilliant directors like chan wook park, takashi miike & bong joon ho aren't seen & appreciated by a larger audience. dont get me wrong, i love american filmmakers, but movies like sympathy for mr. vengeance, oldboy, the host, happiness of the katakuris & memories of murder deserve to be seen by more than a small percentage of the population.

  • "Mother" and "Thirst" is out right now!

    Korean film owns Japanese films. And all my ethnic Japanese friends agree. lmao.

  • what are their names in korean?

  • A masterpiece...

  • Great Film. It really should have been nominated for several Oscars.

    Asians have an amazing way of making films.

    Be aware that the Palm Picture DVD version doesn't provide really good subtitles. I suggest that you find another version.

    If you love this movie, make sure you also check out "The Chaser". It's really good.

  • only US funded movies can be nominated, that's the reason why you never see an overseas movie win even know its 100 times better then the crap that does win.

  • I think that it should have at least been nominated for best foreign film. If "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" can win an Oscar for best foreign film, I can't understand why "memories of murder" can't even get nominated.

  • @zarbon700 It's impossible for a Asian movie to be nominated to several Oscars

  • @zarbon700 I also really enjoyed The Chaser! but I don't think it's quite as good as this.

  • @zarbon700 i like ur movie taste. check out 1. bittersweet life 2. i saw the devil

    both korean movies i highly recommend

  • @zarbon700

    I also like that Chaser quite a lot but Memories of Murder is way better.

  • this film was brilliant. I just watched it. Honestly, this is film at its highest. The juxtaposition of technology with folk wisdom in changing times while detectives desperately try to catch a criminal. When the detective says "this document is a lie"... waaah... i could identify with that character so much; I bet everyone was thinking 'where is our truth?" And the last scene is absolutely beautiful (people who saw this movie will agree..).

  • @QuietRain Scary movie, indeed. The first serial murder in Korea. Yea, the last scene was beautiful yet really disturbing.

  • the movie was really disturbing and scary. i can't believe the murderer's still out there.

  • could u pls stop writing here what´s happening in the film^^ T_T

  • oops, sorry :)

  • i wish they had caught murder............ I wonder who it was. I guess we will never know.

  • could u pls stop writing here what´s happening in the film^^ T_T

  • Such a sick movie.. i'm glad i caught this on the sundance channel and i'm probably gona buy this dvd soon.

  • one of the best films I have ever seen in my life, and I've seen a lot. This up there with thrillers like Oldboy, Intacto, Antibodies and the horror effect of this movie is no less then Ringu or Audition

  • wow this was an awesome movie...but its so sad tho....how can a person go around killing helpless women for no reason? its just sickening

  • well,looking at the history of usa with almost an army of serial killers, how can you not know?

  • Wasnt anyone else pissed of at how everyone treated kwang-ho? Poor retard, i wanted to hug him.

  • this movie was great

  • Awesome film.

  • Comment removed

  • Fucking love this film.

  • Better than Old Boy.

    Shut your trap, niga.

  • I saw this on the tv once, I think its great, I would definitely recommend this one if you're in to crime movies, serial killers etc etc. Even that its not english yyou kind of understand what they say anyway so.

    watch it.

  • This is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen.

  • great movie! you Must see it. it has it all..you laught, cry...everyting!..it's awesome.

  • does anyone know where to watch this movie?

  • Korea

  • great movie!

  • i bought the dvd and whenever i have time i watch it..thats how good this film is

  • I've seen this movie twice. It's sooooooooo good. It's unbelievably good. If 'Seven' had been written by grown-ups, it would be this movie.

  • ....the trailer gives up a lot of the movie though doesn't it?

  • not really

  • WOW, BRILIANT

  • Drop kicks are so under rated!!!

  • LOL

  • Love the drop kick kinda thing to the guy in the ditch hehe . This movie is one of if not the best Korean film ever and is somewhere on the top movies of all time without a doubt !

  • this film is a true masterpiece. Joon-ho, Bong, the director, is one of the most talented director in the whole history of film in my opinion.

  • this is one of the best korean movies. must-see

  • One of the best movies EVER!

  • it drive me crazy.

    iam just wondering its 2008 now did they catch the killer.!?

    cause for me the killer need to die..!

  • one man (age 39~41) has recently been arrested in korea for killing (sexual abuse possible) and cutting bodies of two young girls (age 9, 11) in An-Yang, a city very close to Hwa-Sung where that serial murder took place. Now he has been found to be related to several rape-related charges, and the possibility of other murders cannot be ruledout since the police found trace of another man's blood in his bathroom just this morning. Funny..or rather cruel thing is that,

  • in 1988, at the age of 19, he was actually arrested for charge of rape and killing of another teenage girl (in Su-Won, again, another city proximal to Hwa-Sung). but he was released because the accomplice suddenly died during the course of investigation, and the blame was on the detectives, accused of using violence to wring the confession out of them (just an accusation; it is believed the accomplice died a day after falling on the head)

  • The detective had to go to jail for that, but in the jail, his cellmate told him that the accused confessed his crime of killing the teenage girl. Funny thing is that, this man's profile totally matches the profile of Hwa-Sung serial murderer, such as the style of murder (raping, killing, damaging bodies), blood type, montage, knowledge about the map of railway in the region (where most of the Hwa-Sung murders took place), location of residence, etc...

  • This man will definitely be charged for the deaths of two young girls, but the suspision grows that he might also be connected to the Hwa-Sung case. but even if he is found to be related to Hwa-Sung serial murder case, it is too bad that he cannot be charged for that, since the statute of limitations is now over... (there should be no statute of limitations on murder cases!!)

  • nice thanks for the breif information

  • really?omg!!how is the lastest situation?

  • the murder still hasn't arrested, I want he dead or somthing becuz I am living in Kor. haha..

  • I love this movie so much. im planning to go to korea one day and learn korean

  • I think the key to succes of this movie was that it's based on a true story...And no one exept Bong Joon-ho can make such a shocking but awsome movie....

  • This movie was really mind boggling. It was truly one a kind murder movie.

  • this movie's ending was absolutely brilliant

  • it's just so devastating that it's based on a true story.....chilling but one of the best films i have seen....

  • Esta pelicula es EXCELENTEMENTE GENIAL!!!

    me encanto!!

  • scarewy...

  • amazing movie, one of Korea's best.

    Too bad the trailer is terrible...

    well...not terrible, but it didn't need the captions explaining the premise of the movie (they tried hard, but they couldn't find the murderer? Thanks for ruining it jerk!)

    If they had just let the scenes and dialogue run the movie rather than have extra information this would've been a better trailer.

  • spoilers: the titanic sinks at the end of the movie, the black dahlia murder is never solved and the zodiac killer never arrested

  • Best movie I have ever seen.

  • best movie i have ever seen. i agree the anding left me with chills knowing the killer was never caught.

    best crime thriller ever

  • this movie is one of the best movies ever. it was better than old boy.

  • the little girl said 'it was just oridinary person'and the final scene of the movie indicates that the murderer was just ordinary joe...the police were looking for someone special..with distinctive features..but the murderer was just a normal person.The SCARY THING is...the killer is still out there and could and would have watched this movie...thinking to himself that 'oh yeah...i killed those people..i commited those murder...and 'reliving' his moments...hence Memories of murder" so freaky!

  • this movie was good i watched it last night on sbs it started at like 11:00 and ened at like 1:30am, i wanna know why was the guy at the end looking under the bridge thing and who was the guy that was der b4 the little girl said? was it the murder or the other cop guy?

  • Really Good Movie, It is very fun to catch hidden meanings from each scene. Director Bong Joon Ho is genius.

  • One of the best movies there are (my opinion). This was uploaded here but it appears it was removed.

  • yes someone upload this..looks really interesting

  • one of the best korean movies I have seen, really good soundtrack ! the actors are also so damn sexy

  • Lousy trailer, top notch movie. Its amazing just how funny the first half of it is considering how haunting the later parts are. I think the Zodiac comparison is apt, as both work superbly well as police thrillers but also have underlying messages (Zodiac can be viewed as a commentary on the information age, while MoM is a brutal critique of the borderline fascist government of the 80's).
