Wow!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2010)

Last night I went to the theatre and watched "Inception" ... tonight I sat down at home and watched the Blueray version of "Oldboy." One will stick with me for days, vivid scenes haunting my waking hours, stark, dramatic images that I may never forget. One movie will keep me thinking, working out the permutations of the story. One movie will have made a lasting impression on me for life .... and that movie won't be "Inception", the slick brain-teaser from Hollywood. Rather it will be "Oldboy", the riveting masterpiece from Korea.
The pacing, the acting, the casting, the writing, the cinematography, and especially the story, all combine to make "Oldboy" one of the most powerful, unforgettable movies I have ever seen. Do yourself a favour and watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet.
