Oldboy (2003) dir. Park Chan Wook. 올드보이 (2003) dir. 박찬욱. 8/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Lmao this poor suicidal man and his dog.

Ew I can't with the giant ant.

I did initially find it interesting that Mi Do randomly became interested in this stranger and supported him from the get-go. The dumpling trail is crazy. The acting with Dae Su's character is crazy good.

Truly a legend with this hallway fight scene. Yoo Ji Tae is so young and handsome here.

Woo Jin is just a rich guy who has the freedom and time to destroy lives. I understand Woo Jin's perspective on Dae Su, but still, poor Dae Su. This is all a tragedy. Omg, I didn't even recognize Yoo Yeon Seok.
