MEMORIES OF MURDERS SINOPSIS SERIAL
He doesn’t exploit the crimes (which were based on real serial murders), and even when there’s a loathsome behavior he doesn’t revile or discard his characters. In Memories of Murder, we see how justice is an illusion no matter how great or ill our intent, and attempts to impose order only create more chaos.Īs always, Bong’s craftsmanship is impeccable, and you can see why he’s been one of the 21st century’s greatest filmmakers.

You can see this pattern emerge across Bong’s filmography, and you can clearly see it in his 2003 movie Memories of Murder, which will be re-released into theaters this week before arriving on VOD later this month.

We know what we want, but our desires will always be out of reach because of the damage in our humanity. It’s not as simple as “people are bad, so society is bad,” but rather than we are so deeply flawed as individuals that the systems we create can only reflect those flaws. There are times when he comes perilously close and may even slightly stumble (hi, Okja), but for the most part, he excels at crafting compelling, complicated characters to show our complicity in the systems we rely on for a society that fails all of us. Locals will hope that is not a harbinger of “Shottingham” 2.0.What makes Bong Joon Ho one of our greatest filmmakers is that he’s unafraid to make damning indictments of society without ever coming off as preachy. Tuesday’s deaths will see the murder tally for 2023 reach the highest number for at least five years. There have been eight murders so far in the first three quarters of 2022/23. However, the most recent five years have seen this figure almost halved to 8.8, with a high of nine in one year. Official data show that, between 20, there was an average of 16.6 murders a year, with a high of 21 between 20. Riots ensued around the Gunn headquarters on the Bestwood Estate, and it later emerged the Gunn family had a mole in place inside Nottinghamshire Police. Nobody has been charged with their murder, but Colin Gunn was sentenced to 35 years for conspiring to murder the Stirlands. It came in the form of the shooting of his mother and stepfather, John and Joan Stirland, were killed with Beretta pistols while they were staying in Trusthorpe, on the Lincolnshire coast. Jamie Gunn is said to have had spiralling alcohol and drug problems over the next 12 months with and died in August 2004.Ĭolin Gunn swore revenge on O’Brien, who was later sentenced to 18 years in prison. He missed, and the driver, an innocent acquaintance of Gunn’s called Marvyn Bradshaw, was shot and killed. O’Brien was refused entry to the Sporting Chance and returned with a shotgun and tried to kill Jamie Gunn. He was the intended target of Michael O’Brien, a convicted criminal who had been slashed in the face while in prison in 2001 in a case of postcode gang wars.

Violence reached a crescendo in August 2003 when Colin’s nephew, Jamie Gunn, then 19, was the passenger in a car heading home from a shift as a bouncer at the Sporting Chance pub in Nottingham, a stronghold for the Gunn crew. The criminal brothers viewed themselves as protectors of their turf, seeing themselves somewhat as a hybrid of Robin Hood and the Kray twins.

He offered businesses protection in exchange for money and, if people refused to pay, their windows would be shot in or destroyed with bricks. However, after crime boss Colin Gunn was jailed in 2007, the city has been on an upward trajectory, ridding itself of its violent reputation.Ĭolin Gunn, with his brother David, ran the Bestwood Cartel, which specialised in cheque fraud, extortion, drug dealing and violence and ruled many Nottingham suburbs with an iron fist. That macabre nickname emerged following shootings, neighbourhood gang violence and organised crime two decades ago. Three violent deaths have brought back painful memories of the “Shottingham” era for residents. The East Midlands city awoke to find six areas cordoned off by police, vast numbers of officers on the streets and reports of stabbings and murder. Not since the dark heyday of the notorious Gunn family has Nottingham been gripped by a crime in the way it was on Tuesday.
