A film based on a true story
For those of you who didn't understand the ending (why the actor looks at the camera and breaks the 4th wall) :
First of all this movies is based on a true story. Keep that in mind.
The events in the movie happens in 1986.
The movies came out in 2003.
The killer confessed in 2019
Okay, now that you have some context, here is my interpretation. There is 2 actually.
1. The actor may have looked at the camera after the girls said that the man looked "kind of plain" because well, WE, us, the viewers are normal, plain, ordinary. It means that the murderer may have been anyone. Any korean if i may say so. A normal citizen hiding in plain sight.
2. As I said in 2003, the killer had not confessed to his crimes yet, not until 2019. That is why, thinking that the killer might be watching the movie, the director made the actor look at the camera who may be watching the movie. (If it was the reason, well, it's awesome!).
Anyways, the movies was amazing, great cinematography and as always Bong Joon-Ho did not disappoint.
