Old Boy, a must see

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2005)

I have seen Oldboy, I have to warn my readers this is not any old street fighting action movie. It is a trip through human emotions, love and hatred, revenge, passion... I could not precisely describe all the emotions this movie brings out of me. Nevertheless, I think it would be a BIG mistake to go for an American remake of this movie, also I would recommend people to watch it with subtitles, the flow of Korean language in certain scenes is important to realise the desperation of the characters there's also the natural innocence and amusement present in all eastern movies. The point of the movie, well, things which for our society are somehow "tabus" which can destroy people's lives, I think that is what this movie is about, some kind of eastern-modern version of OedipusRex, but this is only a guess. I absolutely loved the soundtrack of this movie, beginning to end. I have thought also about going to Seoul, maybe to try some "live Octopus". I hope this is any use to any of you. Cheers, Good day!!!!!! corito
