Oldboy is a South Korean film based on a Japanese manga of the same name.
The film won the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and high praise from the President of the Jury, director Quentin Tarantino, who couldn't persuade the members of the jury to give it the Palme d'Or over Fahrenheit 9/11. Critically, the movie has been well received in the United States, with an 81% "Certified Fresh" rating at Rottentomatoes.com; well known film critic Roger Ebert has claimed Oldboy to be a "powerful film". The film has also been voted onto the IMDb Top 250 by IMDb users.
as mia wallace would say "i said god damn, god damn", this movie fuckin blew me away. watchin it i was like "this is gonna be one of my favorites"
in short without revealin too much if anything at all, the main character is kidnapped and held captive for 15 years, lets just say shit isn't what it seems.
the cinematography is beautiful, the score is outstanding, n' great acting. it has it all. bottom line watch this movie!
oh the only reason i "stumbled" upon this movie is because of the virginia tech massacre. the shooter we all know was, the korean guy cho-seung hui, this movie is korean, but a picture of him posing, raising a hammer is an imitation from a scene in this movie. (below are the two pictures in the nsfw jus to save space)
