Forums - General - Movie recommendation: Oldboy

Chan-wook Park is great. Fantastic camera work. Second only to Jean Pierre Jeunet in the visual direction department.

There's no movie shocked me like this one. Fantastic movie!



If I'm going to watch this, should I read the manga first and then the film? Or the film and then the manga?

I didn't even know about a manga so I can't tell you what to do.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

This film is truly brilliant. I remember my mate telling me about it and saying it was "f*cked" (in a good way). When I watched it I saw what he meant, a great revenge film that everyone should see... especially squeamish people (so we can film them and put the clips on youtube :P).

I'll watch with my girl via Netflix 360, tonight. Should get me out of playing Peggle.

Oh, Oldboy was a chick flick? Fuck that, I'm passing.

Is it a romantic comedy about an Old guy that's a boy at heart?

If there was such a thing as the complete opposite of a romantic comedy this would be it.

I watched it a year or two ago, I still don't know exactly why, but me and my friends were bored. Anyway, I didn't like it at all, I know it was supposed to be bizarre, but I found it more bizarre than needed

And it bored me. And the ending is disgusting

Yeah, it's not for everyone. The ending though was meant to be the most disgusting thing possible as the best revenge I think.
