The Ultimate Revenge Masterpiece.
|
South Korea has been making some outstanding movies these last couple of years, but unfortunately not many people have given enough credit to these remarkable movies. The director Chan-wook Park showed what he was capable of doing in South Korea with his first smash hit movie Joint Security Area. After that he went into a complete different territory with the very dark, but excellent thriller Sympathy for Mr Vengeance. Due to it's dark theme Sympathy failed to attract the repeated success of Joint Security Area. Did that stop Chan-wook Park from making more movies? Absolutely not! Chan-Wook Park is back with a Vengeance himself giving us the Ultimate Revenge Masterpiece Oldboy! I wish I can comment more on this movie, but doing that could be a threat in spoiling this amazing experience in cinematic history! Instead I will focus my review on the acting and direction of the movie. As many are aware now, the movie revolves around a man imprisoned in an apartment for 15 years. The motive of the movie is revenge. But the most important answer to all this revenge is WHY???? This movie will litterly have you nailed to your seat. Yes, it's very violent, I would say graphic as in the likes of Last house on the left, though NEVER exploited in that sense. This movie is all brains! The direction is the first thing that will have you in awe. From the first 15mins of the movie, you will see how masterfully this movie is shot. In a split screen scene you will actually feel what this man has missed in those 15 years imprisoned in this apartment. His anger for his imprisonment, the complete mess in his look and clothes are all truly convincing by Choi Min-shik who has appeared in two other big Korean movies which are Failan and the award winning movie at Cannes last year Chihwaseon. As I have already mentioned the violence is very graphic and will probably be rated in the USA NC17. Which is understandable. But do not let that cursed rating put you off. This movie is bound to have you talking and discussing for days if not for months. Well done Chan-wook Park you have showed the world what a truly excellent film director you are. Oldboy gets a well deserved 10/10 Roll on you next movie Sympathy for Miss Vengeance to conclude this amazing Revenge trilogy. |

Good, good!

This movie reminds me of "Angel Heart" with Robert DeNiro, also a good movie in my opinion. This movie was also sick, but great, disturbing, but real. Maybe overacted a little at the end...I'm almost sure I wouldn't do the same thing. Overall great film. Check it out. |

Good, good!!!
| I saw this movie yesterday. It had me glued to the screen. When he opened the box I was...WOW! No way! Might be a little disturbing for some people, some scenes are rough, but that makes it more real, but overall a great film. One of the best movies I've seen this year. |

Brought TEARS to my Eyes!!!

I haven't seen a movie like this in quite a while. This movie was talk of the Cannes Festival, it received 3 (perfect score) and overall score of 2.5 The acting, directing, storyline, cinemotography are just amazing. I just loved this odd but beautiful story. You'll want to watch it again and again. This movie was so moving that french artist agellian (don't know spelling) did a painting dedicated to this movie. He said the movie deeply moved him. so waht are u waiting for...get this NOW |

They don't make movie like this anymore.
| Starting from the incredible opening shot, This movie never stop suprises until you reach the final destination. Oh! and what are ride it is.... For the next 2 hours you'll be dragged through Dark ally to gorgeous penthouse and there are suprises waiting for you around every corners. When it is all over, You'll suddenly realize something you haven't felt in a long while. Pure enjoyment of good movie!!! The acting, directing and cinematography is all top notch and especially the fight scene is just so.... "Incredible". I've not seen such hard hitting and crude yet beautifully excuted fight scene like this before. This movie is a 10++++ for me. |
