電影用黑白畫面講述故事,強化了整體的絕望氛圍,也讓我能更專注於人性的荒誕和殘酷,一群人圍著屍體開始「審判」,但其實沒人在乎真相。 對於人性的黑暗與悲觀,導演的鏡頭語言十分厲害,整片荒謬得讓人笑不出來,也讓人無力。
10:06 特別欣賞畫面從黑白過渡到彩色時的運鏡與結尾,解決方式頗似《灰欄記》,唯「審判者」是「天」(地震)而非官員。私以為導演留下更多想像空間,例如殯儀館大叔是否真是女屍之生父,其實就劇中線索(像是公務員提到大叔這四年已兩次強認屍體是自己的孩子),仍有懸念。另,看到中段,真想提醒導演「Boom穿」(鏡中)。
黑白影像呈現人性中的虛偽與自私,當各方人馬為了私利爭執不休時,世界彷彿停滯在無色的真空中。直到地震撼動一切,彩色畫面突然湧現,彷彿打破了虛偽的假象,揭露了最真實的人性。這樣的視覺轉換不只是風格展現,更是對人性覺醒的絕妙比喻,也完美詮釋了『審判』主題。
這部作品完美展現了朴贊郁式的黑色幽默與諷刺風格。從存放啤酒的屍體冰櫃,到各懷鬼胎的人物對峙,每個細節都經過精心安排。 導演透過一個看似荒誕的故事,深入探討了人性的本質,並以天災作為最終的審判者,既諷刺又深刻。這是一部預示了導演日後風格的重要作品。

Published March 3, 2013. By Daniel Walber "Judgement was made in the wake of the 1995 Sampoong Department Store collapse, the largest peacetime disaster in South Korean history. Due to gross negligence and major structural flaws, the building fell in on itself, killing 502 people. The ensuing legal settlement involved over 3,000 cases, and according to the radio clip at the beginning of the short, the payout to the families of victims was $200,000 each." (這項判決是在 1995 年三豐百貨大樓倒塌事件之後做出的,這是韓國歷史上和平時期最大的災難。由於嚴重疏忽和重大結構缺陷,該建築自毀,造成 502 人死亡。隨後的法律和解涉及 3,000 多個案件,根據短片開頭的廣播剪輯,向受害者家屬每人支付 20 萬美元。) "With characteristically bleak spirit, Park set Judgement entirely in a morgue. There’s one last victim of the tragedy who has yet to be claimed, a young woman whose identity had been obscured by the physical damage of the collapse. The government believes they have finally found her parents, a middle-aged couple whose daughter ran away from home years before. Yet as the body is being moved, a morgue employee suddenly claims that the corpse is that of his daughter, who had also disappeared. With 200 grand in compensation money hovering over the proceedings, drama ensues." (帶著特有的憂鬱精神,朴贊郁將《審判》完全放在了停屍間。這場悲劇的最後一名受害者尚未被認領,她是一名年輕女子,她的身份因倒塌造成的身體損壞而被掩蓋。政府相信他們終於找到了她的父母,這是一對中年夫婦,他們的女兒多年前離家出走。然而,就在屍體被轉移的過程中,太平間的一名工作人員突然聲稱,屍體是他女兒的屍體,而她的女兒也失蹤了。隨著 200 英鎊的賠償金懸而未決,戲劇性的事情隨之而來。) https://filmschoolrejects.com/watch-park-chan-wooks-1999-short-film-judgement-9b384ee18866/
