Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2008)

I'm sorry, I can't understand why some of the users on this site shun Oldboy so much.
I think this is a brilliant film, and yes it does have artistic and avant garde tendencies. If its not your thing, don't watch it.
I, however, think it is a masterpiece. The levels of engagement that the actors are in to create the story is brilliant. People are simply overlooking the fact that incest is a huge tragic flaw. there are brilliant, slightly surreal moments, and I think this is what makes the film.
The camera work is something creative, and has moments of paying homage to the comic, and other films.
I love it so much so, that I have taken the story into physical theatre and created something new. I have done this to pay tribute to such a phenomenal film.
Brilliant, no questions asked...
