It's Amazing and Hollywood might remake into garbage!!!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2006)

Chan Wook Park is an incredible director. Before seeing "OLDBOY" I would recommend you watch an earlier film of his called "Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance." His directing style is superb with complimenting angles the look very fresh but not distracting to the rest of the movie. It's a shame that there is not a bigger market for foreign films here in the U.S. and it saddens me more that Hollywood would rather make a remake rather than to mass distribute the Korean version which is PERFECT AS IT IS!!! Hollywood apparently feels that we the people can not read and watch a movie at the same time or in worser terms they want to Hollywood up this film and kill it. The reason i mentioned Park's earlier film and here is the spoiler part he has the tendency at the end of the film where both main characters die, with the exception in Oldboy but then again Oh-Dae-su doesn't really get the revenge his was hoping for. It doesn't matter which is which, his style makes you feel for both characters. You sympathize with the villain and his cause and for the heroin in his. But all in all his films are just flat out entertaining, they make you think of morality and how society might at times push people to do drastic things, so who cares if both main characters die? In real life wanting to be the hero could get you killed and that goes for the villain as well. So suck it up, finally a realistic film with good character development, great story and plot lines, and great directing UN-hollywoodized. Enjoy it, and share it!
