Oldboy (2005)

Its a very creative movie which gripps audience as it moves ahead main actor has given a powerfull performance its music create a beautiful atmosphere and a suspenseful tone everyone should watch this movie if you are not watching you are missing something great in the whole movie you should think why why why and when the answers come your mind goes away

I've read a lot about this movie but had not watched it until today. I chose to watch this version rather than the Americanized remake because most remakes fail to accomplish the same impact as their predecessors. Most things I have read have raved about what an awesome thriller this is and frankly, I was disappointed. It was a good movie and a brilliant story but I was expecting more suspense and I could see some of it coming. I'll probably watch it again though.

Abducted on a rainy night in 1988, the obnoxious drunk, Oh Dae-Su, wakes up locked in a hotel room, for an unknown reason. But then, unexpectedly, after fifteen long years in captivity, the perplexed prisoner is deliberately released, encouraged to track down his tormentor to finally get his retribution. Old Boy is a movie that i have heard so many positive things about and i was very excited to see just to see what was so special about it and needless to say there was nothing special to it rather than the main star likes to eat like a dog and tried to make love to a woman and she hit him with the toilet paper. Excellent Oscar Worthy movie right there, Oldeuboi is a waste of time and money. (0/10)

Normally i am very careful, when it comes to topics like this. But Oldboy just blew me away. I have seen many movies over the years but still, the quality of this one has not been reached by any of them. Oldboy really makes the most of every of it's aspects. Cinematography, editing, performances, character writing or just the brilliant twisted story are absolutly unique. By the way, the thematics and symbolisms of this movie are also highly recommended to any hobby-philosophers. The way how Chan-Wook Park handled the back story of the movie's antagonist, is not only relatable, but also kind of daring. You see his point, although you do not agree with his actions. Oh Dae Sue on the other hand, is a great protagonist. He's got a simple motivation, and is marked by 20 years of isolation, but also possesses some emotional spots and is more vulnerable than ever. The movie has a message and doesn't only rely on it's astounding directing. There a many visual metaphors and it touches on many social-critically questions. I am sure, everyone will get something out of it's story. Simply a perfect movie.
