Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a psychological thriller film: "Forgotten "
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
Jin Seok wakes up in the car from a nightmare
He is with his mother, father, and older brother Yoo Seok
They are moving to a new house
This is the first time that Jin Seok visits the house;
but he wonders why it looks so familiar to him
Most of the scenes are featured in this house
It looks old and terrifying, just like the houses that are being used in horror and mystery films
Yoo Seok, Jin Seok's older brother, has been an honor student since elementary school
He's a smart guy and graduates from the top elite university in Korea
He is very talented, kind, and has a competitive nature
He even has deft hands, and can fix most things
He seems so perfect Yoo Seok admires his older brother a lot
A year ago, Yoo Seok injured his left leg in a car accident
Despite that, his family still thinks that he is perfectly fine
The family is very busy moving and fixing the things in the new house
Jin Seok sees a room that seems off to him
It really looks weird and mysterious
He is surprised that he'll be sharing the room with his brother,
for he thought that he'll be using the other room
The previous owner left some of his stuff in the room upstairs,
that's why they are unable to use it
In fact, that's the mysterious room that Ji Seok was staring at a while ago
The helper from the moving company drops something on the floor
While Jin Seok is helping him in picking up the things,
the helper asks him if Yoo Seok is his older brother
Jin Seok answers that they really don't look alike
Yoo Seok suddenly enters the room and interrupts their conversation
Are you wondering why the helper seems bothered that made him ask his age?
You'll find out later, so stay tuned
The family is having dinner on a rainy day
They look like a normal and happy family
The father says that the previous owner will get his stuff next month,
so his sons don't need to share in one room
Out of curiosity, Jin Seok asks his father what kind of stuff the previous owner left in the room
The father warns them not to go to the room,
because the previous owner requested not to enter it, nor touch his things
Jin Seok becomes more curious about the room
Out of nowhere, the father reminds him not to skip his medication
Jin Seok suddenly hears a noise upstairs; and he guesses that it is from the mysterious room;
but his family insists that they don't hear anything, and it may be the sound of the thunder
The brothers are already in the room
Yoo Seok tells Jin Seok not to worry a lot about his exam,
because the new house gives off good vibes to them, so he'll definitely pass it this year
Yoo Seok already bids good night to his brother
Jin Seok hears a strange sound in the other room
He is really curious about it
When he is about to open the door,
Yoo Seok stops him, and insists that he didn't hear anything
He forces Jin Seok to go outside despite the heavy rain, to get some fresh air
It is raining cats and dogs
The brothers go outside to breathe some fresh air
Suddenly, the father calls Yoo Seok, and asks him to go back home to find something
Jin Seok witnesses that his brother is being dragged by some men
He runs very fast to save his brother, but he fails
Fortunately, he is able to remember the plate number of the car that abducted his older brother
He hurriedly goes home to tell his parents what happened;
but he faints before he is able to say a word
He wakes up the next morning, and detectives come to their house to investigate
These detectives seem uninterested in the situation
Jin Seok tells them that he saw a black van with a certain plate number
But the detectives tell him that there is no black van with that plate number that exists in Korea
They even tell Jin Seok that he might be mistaken, for it was raining hard that time
All of a sudden, they mention that they heard Jin Seok is currently taking anti-anxiety medication
It seems like Jin Seok is the one being interrogated in this scene
Days have passed, and Yoo Seok is still nowhere to be found
The family and the investigators are already anxious, and tired of the waiting game
There is no clue, and the abductors don't even contact the family to ask for anything
Jin Seok has the same nightmare every day
In his dream, he sees a man who looks familiar to him
The man in his dream seems extremely agonized
When he is about to go back to sleep, he hears the strange sound from the other room once again
He stares at the room
The room opens; and someone gets out of it
Jin Seok is very scared, because the person is coming to his room
He hides under his blanket
When he checks it, the door of the other room is closed
He thinks everything is okay; but suddenly,
a woman who is wearing white clothes appears next to him
He is greatly surprised
Hold your horses, guys It is just another nightmare
After 19 days, Yoo Seok suddenly returns home
However, he cannot remember anything of what happened in the past days that he was missing
According to the doctor, Yoo Seok has dissociative amnesia,
that completely wiped out the painful memories from that day;
and they need to wait until he remembers what happened
One morning, the medicine of Jin Seok falls down on the floor
Yoo Seok suddenly enters the kitchen, and asks him to eat; that's why he missed taking his meds
While eating, Jin Seok asks his brother where he went last night
He saw him leave, and even heard the sound of the gate when he stepped out
Yoo Seok denies everything, and insists that it was just another dream
One night, Jin Seok fell asleep while studying
Yoo Seok gets a pen, and is about to stab it in his eyes
Jin Seok suddenly wakes up, and follows his older brother
He is very surprised to see his brother smoking, because he knows he doesn't have vices
He is even surprised to see the inspectors calling his brother, "Boss"
While tailing his brother, the inspectors see him
Things get even more complicated Jin Seok runs for his dear life
He thought he had already escaped the inspectors' hands; but his older brother catches him
Jin Seok wakes up in his room, and sees his brother
He is very surprised because he knows it was not a dream
He is sure it did happen He runs to the toilet and hides there
He screams to Yoo Seok, saying that he was not asleep last night, and remembers everything vividly
He tells him that he heard the sound from the mechanical pencil that he kept clicking,
and made the lead fall right in front of his eyes
Yoo Seok tries to calm him down, and insists that everything he remembers is all part of his dream
He asks if he took his medicine last night
Jin Seok remembers that he wasn't able to take it, because it fell on the floor
He calms down, takes his medicine, and apologizes to his brother
He thinks that his brother might be right
but he becomes suspicious once again, when he sees the lead of the mechanical pen on his table
He knows there is something wrong Jin Seok tells everything to his mom
He plans to follow Yoo Seok that night
In this scene, the mother looks convinced of what Jin Seok is telling her
but there is a bigger picture that will surprise you later
Just like other mystery thriller films, the start of the movie was a bit confusing
but now it is starting to make sense
That evening, he has another nightmare
He goes to the kitchen to drink water
He clearly hears his mother reporting to someone about everything he had told her
Jin Seok finally realizes that there is something wrong with his family
He tries to escape; but his father is already waiting outside
They corner Jin Seok; but he is able to escape and goes to the nearest police station
He reports to the police officers that he was confined by people,
whom he thought was his family; and he was just able to escape
The officers confirm his identity
They tell him that he is already 41 years old, because he was born in 1977
but he insists that he is only 21 years old
Everything got mixed up Jin Seok thinks it is only 1997;
so he is very surprised when the officers tell him that it is already 2017
Jin Seok looks around the police station, and is surprised about the changes,
including the new president as well as the latest technology
He looks in the mirror, and finds out that he looks very old, like a man in his 40s
This scene is really heartbreaking
When he finally finds out that everything he believes are all lies
This scene gave the viewers goosebumps
Many critics were surprised at how the writer gives numerous twists in the story
Jin Seok goes back to the house to find the truth
He enters the mysterious room
Finally, the man who pretends to be his brother, Yoo Seok tells him the whole story
Twenty years ago, a teenage girl and her mother were both killed in their house
The family of the victims hires him to look for Jin Seok
In the flashback, it is shown that Jin Seok was abducted
and tortured for him to tell the reason why he killed the family
They are not able to get the answers, because Jin Seok has already restrained his traumatic memories
and cannot remember anything at all
The psychiatrist suggests hypnotizing him back to his delighted memories in the year 1997,
hoping that if they re-enact the events on the night of the killing,
Jin Seok might recover his memories
Everything was working well when one day, the police arrested Yoo Seok for fraud
It was the night that Jin Seok saw Yoo Seok being abducted
but the truth is, he stayed in prison for 19 days
Going back to the present, Jin Seok tries to escape from Yoo Seok
but unfortunately, he was hit by a truck,
which made him remember what really happened in the year 1997
Jin Seok reminisces about the past
He is in a car with his real family
Unfortunately, they get into a car accident,
that kills both his parents and critically injures his brother
He did his best to earn money for his brother's surgery, but couldn't find a decent job
He tries to look for a job online, when an anonymous person contacts him
He asks him to kill his wife, but leave his children unharmed
In this situation, it seems like Jin Seok doesn't have any choice,
but to kill someone even if it is against his will, just to save the life of his brother
How far can we go to protect the lives of those dear to us? Is it worthy of the sacrifice?
When he arrives at the house to follow the order of the anonymous person,
Jin Seok's conscience kicks in
The mother and the daughter go out of the room, and scream upon seeing him
He panics and accidentally kills them
The youngest boy goes out of the room as well; but Jin Seok asks him to go back
On his way out, he sees a family picture
He is very surprised that his brother's doctor is the father of this family
There are times that life isn't going the way we planned it
Once a happy family, now wrecked because of selfishness
Jin Seok meets the anonymous man
He is astonished to see that he is his brother's doctor
The doctor explains that the reason why he asked him to kill his wife,
is to get insurance money to save his children from poverty
How evil a man can be in this way
A happy and perfect family was ruined because of the father's selfishness
He did it not to save his children, but to save himself
The doctor is really disappointed, because Jin Seok also killed his daughter
so he exclaims that Jin's Seok brother should die as well
There's a confrontation
The doctor accidentally falls on the building and dies
In the present, Jin Seok wakes up lying on a hospital bed
The man who pretends to be his older brother, is now about to kill him with a poisonous syringe
He tells Jin Seok that he is the young child of the family, that he killed twenty years ago
When his family died, his relatives took all the insurance money, and left him in the orphanage
What a pity How can they do that to a harmless child
The love of money is absolutely the root of all evil
He asks Jin Seok if his own father was the mastermind of the killings
Jin Seok takes all the responsibility; but he doesn't believe him
Jin Seok commits suicide by injecting the poisonous syringe into his body
This is how he ends his life
The young man also commits suicide by jumping off the hospital's building
Both of them reunite with their loved ones in the afterlife
At the end of the story, there is a flashback in the year 1997,
when Jin Seok's family was at the park
There was a young boy who offered him a lollipop, and ran to his family
He is the young son of the doctor's family
Forgotten is the movie that captured the heart of many from the beginning until the ending
because of its twists and turns
It shows how far someone can drive himself to find the answers, that they are longing for to know
It also shows us that a person's love for money can ruin a family
It is unimaginable; but it is really happening in the real world
Even people that you trust the most, will betray you for the sake of money
Like other psychological thriller films,
“Forgotten” requires us to hold on, and examine every clue that was given in the story
