Oldboy Director Park Chan-wook Reacts to Your Letterboxd Reviews 

The only director who turns their Letterboxd reacts into life advice

“It’s too late for regret.” Hell fucking yeah brother

Park Chan-wook is a legend, and I don’t use that term lightly or often. He is truly a cinematic legend through and through and deserves that title.

God has entered the app

“It‘s a movie with the intention to make you laugh at every second“ “I was really trying to create the most terrifying nightmare imaginable“ He‘s a living legend😂

I need like 10 more movies from this man

Decision to Leave was the most incredible movie I've seen in the 2020s, I cannot wait to see what he comes up with next

He's turning 60 in 2 days (August 23rd). So best wishes in advance! The fact that he both stated that he wanted to create a nightmare and that he wanted it to feel like a comedy says a lot about from how many different angles he approaches a film, which is why they always have so many layers and so many legitimate ways to look at them and react to them. Masterful cinema.

bro responds with philosophy. the korean goat

So humble and witty. I admire him.

what a legend

I love how they threw in the 1-star and half-stars at the end. People hating and feeling so disgusted by this movie makes it so much better to me.

i can feel the interviewer's nervousness at being in Chan-wook’s presence 👀🍷

This man is easily my top 10 directors of all time. Oldboy and Decision To Leave are just perfect cinema.

One of the best movies ever made

Oldboy is the best comic adaptation ever put to film. The work done with the visuals and performances are breathtaking

Living legend

Saw this a few hours ago (I’ve been an avid fan since 2005, when I noticed the DVD on the bottom shelf at my local Blockbuster Video. Went into it totally blind and absolutely loved it). We were the first ones to arrive but I was so happy to see nearly half the theater occupied. Aside from the few brief comedic moments (like the hammer to the head scene), everyone was stone cold silent and stayed for the after-credits interview.

Decision To Leave is one of the best films in THE history of cinema and I don't know why it isn't as hyped as it deserves

Such an intelligent dude

I gotta say I watched Oldboy tonight twice and I have chills the first time and immense build up of sorrow and tears rolling down my cheeks the second time can’t wait to watch it again and again very good job! Going to definitely give this out at Christmas.

Thank you. Just watched Stoker again for the Blank Check Podcast. This is a gift

Director Park Chan-wook, it’s just the internet, know that there are so many who adore this movie! ❤️

"It's a movie with the intention to make you laugh at every second" "I was really trying to create the most terrifying nightmare imaginable" Pick a lane Park lmao. Tho I can see how strangely these 2 ideas can overlap.

Amazing visionary. We are blessed. Recently watched Decision to Leave. Perfect film

My number one film director. Of all time. And I really mean it!

Oldboy is very funny if you embrace what it is.

Lmao he's so god damn sweet

The beautiful South Korean modesty ♡

Great characters with depth and nuances, a terrific plot, symbolic depictions and quotes that make you think, a heavy twist, ingenious analogies... and a soundtrack that simply goes through your marrow and legs! I am a cineaste through and through and have seen many "must-sees" of several decades. Plus, arthouse here and there from various genres. But this complete film is a milestone - an outstanding, relentless masterpiece that is still my personal number 1! Thank you, Mr. Park-Chan Wook for creating cinema on a whole new level.

Love this guy, great sense of humor

Oh my god, this is “My life isn’t a tragedy, it’s a fucking comedy” as a movie. How did I not realize???

I watched the movie for the first time thanks to the remaster yesterday and I am glad he says his intention was for it to be a comedy. It is a masterfully crafted mystery/ thriller with great action and well performed dramatic sequences, but it came across as a dark comedy at heart.

These react videos are such a great idea. Keep them coming!

Letterboxd, you complete me! ❤

BUT WHAT ARE HIS 4 FAVOURITE FILMS???!!!

Park Chad Wook 🫡😤😎 Going to be checking out Thirst (2009) tomorrow for the very first time and I cannot wait (I've seen the Vengeance Trilogy, Decision to Leave, JSA, and The Handmaiden already)

찬욱찡 귀여워

i love you god🩵

Just in time for us Blankies

i think he would have also done a really great Joker movie

JSA 때부터 완전 팬입니다.

Shame you never did this with Friedkin

is it re releasing in india aswell? i'd love to see it so badly

why sit down with a well respected cinema legend just to have him respond to a few bad one liner "reviews" that don't have anything interesting to say about his films? This is just embarrassing

It's too late for regret. The sequel.

Crazy how someone so boring could consistently make such interesting art

Decision To Leave should've been nominated in the non-english/foreign category last year. Fucked up it wasn't, maybe it didn't qualify for some bs reason.

Oldboy is the one movie where if you give it a low rating because it offended you, i understand lol

tell me when he does the handmaiden, letterboxd lesbians must know !!!

The perfect example that writing a one liner on LB is better then a real review. But yeah, Park Chan-Wook, you are truly the greatest Director working today!

This is so banal for such a profund man you can clearly tell that he's bored and annoyed

I feel sorry for Park Chan-wook for having to listen to this nonsense. This series is clearly designed to torture filmmakers.

this may be the worst thing ive ever seen

감독 데려다가 이딴걸 찍고있네 수준낮고 웃기지도 않고 최악이다 박찬욱이 뭐 이런 멍청한것들이 다있나 생각했을듯
