*OLD BOY* (2003) FIRST TIME REACTION 

It’s not Japanese, it’s a Korean Film that’s part of the Vengeance Trilogy: 3 separate, unrelated stories that show the downfall of seeking revenge on everyone involved. The same director just had a show on MAX called “The Sympathizer”.

They back! Edit: its a message about vengeance, and how you can destroy yourself in seeking it

Its korean film from legendary movie director park chan wook.

Ballerina 2023 and No mercy 2019 are two really good Korean movies you guys could check out.

I saw the devil or battle royale ( hunger games inspiration)next please

I heard about this film from friends, but did not watch it. I just watched it with you, guys. The plot itself is twisted, but very heavy because of the whole situation with the daughter, causes a feeling of disgust.

Yea, the American remake is rough compared to this. But they love the cinematics. And they love a messed up story. Japan's got old issue with those type of relationships. It's like the family l8nes of the nobility. Look up Charles the III I think dude was so inbred that his physical deformities were famous. Dude was like 4 generations of inbred smh

Hello

I'm crying 🤣😂 the "what the f is up with this n? Ewww. Attack this n. Attack him." 🤣🤣🤣😩😭

Confucius once said before you embark on a journey of revenge dig two graves

He wanted oldboy to feel how he's been feeling. Right or wrong, he blames Oldboy for everything; taking his sister/lover away. He wanted to take everything oldboy cherished away from him and be tortured by it for life. Oldboy's ultimate punishment is to not be able to ever love who he loves; not as a father and not as a lover. That's the hell oldboy has to live.

FYI, this movie has a very different setting from the original Japanese comics/manga, except that the main character is imprisoned for several years (Japanese comics: 10 years, movie: 15 years) and then released. For example, 1) In Japanese comics, Mido is not Oh Dae-su's daughter. 2) In Japanese comics, Lee Woo-jin's older sister does not exist at all. In other words, the love between Lee Woo-jin and his older sister is a completely recreated setting in the movie. 3) Regarding 2), the reason why Lee Woo-jin imprisoned Oh Dae-su for 15 years (10 years in the comics) is very strange in the original comics. To sum it up very briefly, it's because Oh Dae-su shed tears when Lee Woo-jin, a classmate of Oh Dae-su, sang the song in elementary school music class.

Please tell me people know the difference between korean and japanese.. The language and culture couldn't be more far apart 😭

It's easy to judge yeah no body do such revenge in real life Or why would he do all that work with revenge and ended up killing himself. Here a real life example, Miss America 2019 killed herself and left her assets for her parents ..... So how can someone has money, FAME and good jobs but ended up committed suicide

I saw the devil is a movie you two should definitely watch next

Ichi the killer needs to be watched after this

My sassy girl! comedy. Oldboy is crazy lol

Capitalism is the true villain in all Korean movies.

My fav couple 🎉🎉🎉🎉

33:06 there’s no real message, it’s just a shocking story for the sake of a shocking story. The Japanese specifically have refined the craft of telling F-d up stories in the last 30-40 years with Anime and Manga.

these 2 young love birds, the boy, probably 16, the girl, 17, fell in love with each other at this small town high school, i guess and they found each other extremely appealing, even tho they're brothers and sisters, couldn't help but end up crossing the line at the school, as they probably couldn't do that at home, where their parents were, so empty high school on a saturday after noon or sunday, must have been their secret thang, you know, until our man, dae-soo, accidently spotted them, leaving for seoul, the capital, let his best friend know about his finding, the rumor got out, she was treated as a pervert / whore / slut, etc and got pregnant, ended up killing herself at the dam, where she asked her lover to remember her, the boy must've vowed to avenge her death. tho the audience know it's not dae-soo, but his friend, who has spread the rumor, but as far as the villain knows , it's dae-soo, who have spotted them in that empty science lab, so, i guess it's fair for this korean joker to set a trap for dae-soo, instead of his friend. there's a hollywood remake by spike lee. i've heard good things about old boy, but couldn't find the movie when i've realised that there's a free hollywood version on you tube, so, i ended up watching that, you know, to practice my english and all. with all due respect, hollwood version is ... well ... there's a hilarious comparison video by YMS (your movie sucks) i watch that video whenever i feel down. it's extremely funny and it deserves a medal. it's that funny

Your girl is beautiful 😍😍😍 man
