Steven Yeun against a blue background in Burning
The Big Picture Lee Chang-dong's 2018 thrillerBurning is definitely not an easy watch. Don't get us wrong here: it is an amazing movie from start to finish, and one that flows with almost no lulls thanks to its constantly tense atmosphere. However, with a considerable dose of melancholy, the film is also one of those inward journeys in which we are left to ponder about the meaning of our own lives.
Release Date May 17, 2018 Director Chang-dong Lee Cast Ah In Yoo , Steven Yeun , Jong-seo Jeon , Soo-Kyung Kim , Seung-ho Choi , Seong-kun Mun Runtime 148 minutes What Is 'Burning' About? Not because Burning is a particularly twisty thriller, far from it. The movie does have its unexpected turn of events, and its mind-bending ending leaves a lot up for interpretation, but, overall, it is pretty much straightforward.
Jong-su asks Ben if he's not afraid of getting in trouble for his little hobby. It's a naive question, for sure. First and foremost, Ben is rich, and, thus, unlike Jong-su's father, is largely above the law. Besides, Ben tells Jong-su, South Korea is full of abandoned greenhouses that no one cares about. Ugly, displeasing little things that many would like to see gone. And, so, Jong-su spends the next days of his life looking for burned greenhouses around his place only to find none.
Yes, everything points to Ben being a cold-blooded serial killer. Except not really. Hae-mi has left her affairs in order before disappearing, her apartment uncharacteristically tidy. The watch that Jong-su finds in Ben's drawer, he also sees around the wrist of one of Hae-mi's former co-workers.
