My favourite movie. This has so much fighting in it that I don't know what to do, and Choi Min-Sik has become one of my favourite actors. This film is BRUTAL

[spoiler] This movie has left me speechless, no pun intended. The impact of the movie had somewhat of a delayed response, much like Yoo Ji-tae in the elevator. I got off the couch to grab a drink and then felt this instant dread and realisation of what had befell, which is when I knew that is an amazing film. [/spoiler]

While watching this movie you are going to suffer, but you are going to like it!
The story is so disturbing at some point that I had actual nausea watching it and it was the only "good" nausea I had in my life!
The shock this gave me was sort of similar to the shock "Predestination" gave me

A Korean action-suspense flick that, like many far-east thrillers, doesn't hesitate to take things well into the realm of the taboo. In a lot of ways that's a blast of fresh air, as no doubt an American version wouldn't have been half as biting, daring or dark, and its dedication to probing the unacceptable makes up a large part of Oldboy's character.

It's not those stabs outside the boundaries that bothered me about this one, though, so much as it was the refusal to bask in them for more than a few instants before jolting off in search of new depths. The establishing story is almost perfect, setting the stage with an everyman who's been transformed by fifteen years of unexplained imprisonment, then following his violent, dedicated search for both suspect and reason. It's an act the tangled, overstretched follow-through can't hope to match, even when its mysteries and motivations are finally, confusingly, lain bare. Oldboy deserves recognition for its style, demeanor and intense action scenes, but the plot often veers into weirdness and depravity for unclear reasons that don't always benefit the bigger picture.

A masterpiece of a movie.... a story about revenge. A man is imprisoned for 15 years and randomly set free. He has 5 days to find his captors.... and this is when the story begins. A crescendo of violence, intimidation, and investigation into the past in order to uncover this mystery person. This movie is so much deeper then revenge but more so about the consequences of our actions past and present and how they impact others. This movie is layered and it’s wonderful watching it reveal itself. Great cinematography. If you like gritty thrillers this is a must watch. I loved it!

There are many great things about this movie, most notably the way in which it was shot and the acting in it. However, the story is just so absolutely fucking bonkers to the point that I am so very confused as to how to feel about it.

I don’t think rewatching this would be the same, it’s weird knowing I can never experience this film the way I just did, unless maybe I was hypnotised....

This is a movie you should know at best nothing about before watching. It is worth it.
