Why people should like Korean movies :
boys : the fight
girls : the emo-drama
gays : cf. girls.
The highest knowledge is to know that we are surrounded by mystery

I didn't really like Oldboy. But I didn't really understand it fully either.

Since my friends recommended the movie to me, I thought I'd ask them to explain the movie. They couldn't, which led me to the conclusion that it's just good psuedo-intellectual bait (ooh it has subtitles and some weird artsy feel to it!).

Dunno, maybe the movie really is good.

My Lady Vengeance was pretty cool though.

It boggles me how neither you or your friends understood the movie. It seriously was not that complicated.

That's just sad.

Sorry, but I can offer no explanation to you.

Horrible movie. I stopped watching after about 30-45 minutes.

Edit: If you want to watch some good Korean films, I personally really liked Chi Hwa Son (취화선) and Soe Pyon Je (서편제).

I loved Oldboy.

Intense, great photo. Story maybe a bit half-assed after all but it's an awesome movie

Screw you people who thought the twist was predictable, I didn't expect it at all and it made the movie really interesting. If a movie is made for my entertainment I won't make it harder by, you know, thinking too much.
No I'm never serious.

Truly. I think that twist made separated the movie from the cliche vengeance-driven movies. The twist gave the movie a good amount of notoriety, too.

It has a good plot, a sad ending, and it leaves you feeling a little stressed, a bit in awe. Quite opposite of hollywood movies.

It also basically had a little bit of everything: humor, romance, action, suspense, etc.


The plot wasnt in the very least predictable yeah. Charlies opinions as always are worthless, he rates the departed a 10, while giving infernal affairs a 2, what the fuck?

I LOVED Lady Vengeance

Oldboy on the other hand, I didn't really enjoy it too much
I didn't feel like the movie was overrated by any means, I just didn't feel like I was satisfied with it

I ran across the soundtrack before I really heard about the movie. I actually watched it a couple weeks ago though: my primary impression is the dissonance between the relatively light and almost "cheerful" soundtrack and the dark tone of the movie. Overall I felt it was a very well done and fascinating movie, but not necessarily something I would have watched if I had really known anything about it.

I watched it while unbelievably hungover, and was expecting nothing, so it turned out really well and I liked it.

I think expectations play a huge role in the enjoyability of a movie.

Mainly that fight scene, the octopus scene, the music and the fact that you can hear someone playing BW at one point.

Ip Man was awesome and I also recommend the good, the bad and the weird.

what part of the movie is this? i must have completely missed this.

some scene in the Daesu's old friend's cafe bang
you can hear someone doing a tank push TvP

Definately. People don't just randomly like movies, it's all about what movies you "think" you like and want to be associated with liking, and what expectations a person has about a movie.

I watched it before I really knew any of the hype behind it and I really liked it. I think people having it so built up before watching it would be bad.

That's because infernal affairs sucks ass. A good director (with good actors) got a hold of the story and made it good.

found it pretty awesome as well.

it's just such a great idea to make a movie about someone who is conditioned all the way through. he can't even escape his "fate"...

maybe some of you won't like the style because you're only accustomed to americanesque movies? (this movie is very drastic)

probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. I watched it and was just dead for like 3 days after.

Tried to watch it again a while ago, but just couldnt get through it.

Man 3 pages of comments and I'm the only one who thought this was about Nal_Ra. What's going on here.

Have not even heard of this movie.

EDIT: Oh did not notice the date. :x
