Old Boy
last night, despite owning this dvd for over a year, i watched this for the first time.
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
and, the ending was..... really obvious. like, really. i guessed it from the beginning.
AND, 'that scene' everyone goes on about? what scene do you mean? the teeth pulling scene? quite rank, but i've seen much much worse.
on the whole, good film. fucked up, but good. i want to see the other two now.
:)
i guessed it as well
which was a pity, as i thought the rest of the film was fantastic.
The thing is it's not an original concept is it?
Isn't the original Oedipus story about him and his mother not even knowing they were related thanks to be separated when he was only a baby?
The real point is the reason why he was kidnapped so that's what the movie was all about for me.
I guessed the end but then they had the thing to say she'd gone to Sweden
so I just accepted that.
Anyway, that wasn't the point was it? Did you guess the REASON? I didn't.
I didn't like the ending. Sorry, but I felt bad that (a) he didn't get revenge and (b) he actually seemed to think he'd been in the wrong...
no, but it's always something like that.
You don't deserve to ever read/watch a story again
for sure.
it's true.
never watch anything with me. i'll guess it and spoil it within the first 10 minutes.
You mean you say
"Oh it'll be something like that other film from before. *sigh* I'm so jaded."
no, i'll say
'it's so obvious that ____ is going to happen'
So for Old Boy you said
"It's so obvious that he's going to sleep with his own daughter due to it being a set up because his having said once that he saw a boy in school 'getting busy' with his own sister led to her comitting suicide from fear of pregnancy is going happen"?
no. i said - it's so obvious that
they've been hypnotised and that mido is his daughter.
So you didn't guess why?
In which case your input is WORTHLESS! WORTHLESS!!!
well, why is kinda 'meh'
i mean, what reasons are there for revenge
- killed family member
- through some tenuous link killed family member
- knocked up daughter
- saw something they shouldn't
- something to do with incest
so, reasons don't normally interest me *that* much.
i didnt guess it
i think its an amazing film.
i especially love the cinematography-interesting styles and that corridoor fight that uses one camera shot....so good.
More than one
Thankyou sexybumz
Ichi The Killer
is a better film.
^ this
lies!
Oldboy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ichi the killer
Whether the ending is predictable or not its still an amzing film.
...
Exactly. As the chracter actually says himself "The question isn't 'why did I imprison you', but 'why did I release you'?"
The two are joined, though
He couldn't have revenge while Oh Dei Su (sp?) didn't know the reason for his imprisonment.
I loved this film.. but did not guess the ending
that's CRAZY. the ending TOTALLY THREW me...
AMAZING FILM - WATCH IT.
very very good movie !
Have yet to see Lady Vengeance...
