Video that doesn't get the respect it so easily deserves

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2011)

Any person who cannot handle a few scenes of violence, animal cruelty *overstatement*, and a little incest none of which is very graphic are the ones who do not appreciate this film for what it is. You have to look into the complex structure of the movie, including the precise camera angles, emotional distress of the main characters, and a wonderfully place soundtrack.
The ending is outstanding, and anyone who didn't get premise of the movie refused to give "Oldboy" the attention it deserves. Everything is done so well, even the order of events leading to the shocking end which has several twists and turns along the way. Yet, as in every drama/thriller there are a few plot holes.. Ones the general public shouldn't even be able to comprehend unless they have seen the movie several times or have some historical knowledge. All in all, a wonderful film created for people who can look deeper than the gore and immerse themselves in the pain.
