Due to the movie "The Assassins" (Mild Spoilers)

Machine translated

Critic Lee Dong-jin is receiving a massive amount of criticism, but
the truth is, this movie lacks a consistent direction.
If they were going to thoroughly investigate the conspiracy behind the "assassination of First Lady Yuk Young-soo," they should have done it properly.
Instead, they turned the movie into a mess by haphazardly throwing in the ignorance of the KCIA constantly chanting "Commies," the abrupt anti-Japanese sentiment at the end of the film, and the resistance of journalists.
The movie barely touches upon Moon Se-gwang, who is the most important figure, and instead repeatedly inserts scenes suggesting he was "used by someone."
Furthermore, it portrays Kim Ki-choon, who elicited Moon Se-gwang's testimony at the time, as some sort of incompetent political prosecutor.
At that time, Japan was holding the Park administration by the throat due to the DJ kidnapping incident, but they were so shocked when this incident broke that they took no action;
they even suppressed the investigation into Kim Ho-ryong of Chongryon, who was behind Moon Se-gwang.
The film essentially treats the Japanese government's position as reported by the Japanese media as fact throughout, and it even starts writing fiction regarding the conspiracy by having Jung Woo-sung suddenly appear as a domestic entrepreneur involved in a subway project created in partnership with a Japanese company, acting as a medium for the assassination conspiracy.
The fact that there is no scene where Lee Min-ho goes to Japan to approach Chongryon for reporting clearly demonstrates that the direction this movie wants to take has already been decided.
By driving the movie toward a conspiracy and making it look as if the answer is 99.9% predetermined,
while simultaneously saying, "Don't treat this as politics, just watch it as a movie,"
would they really stay silent if someone made a conspiracy movie about Roh Moo-hyun's suicide?
