Art work should be rated what it deserves. Please no prejudice or stereotypes.

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2005)

I don't wanna mention about the plot or how great Oldboy is. A lot of people mentioned it here and most people understand this movie well and they vote properly.
But, before you criticized the movie, you have to open your mind for the different cultures and different thinking. You have to understand the whole story and hidden cultural background first before you criticize it. You should concern the missing part by mistranslation or different languages.
Some of people rated this as 1 or 2 out of 10. Some of people criticized about extreme violence and blamed Asian culture as crazy culture. That's the nonsense. Kill Bill, Saving Private Ryan, Godfather and some of excellent movie has a lot of violence. So, you wanna rate those 1 out of 10? "The Silence of the Lambs" contains cannibalism. You wanna say all Americans are cannibal? Eating living octopus or fish, it's quite common in Japan and Korea. Movie just use extreme expression for explain the emotion of leading character. If you go to French, snail is one of good in the Menu but in some countries it's gross.
Please..Please no prejudice, stereotypes, and racism.
