I just feel so disturbed now that I had to write this down and I have no idea how I will ever fall asleep again. Bonus:+ Show Spoiler + It's a Korean movie and the main character went to a internet cafe and I couldn't help myself to notice that people were playing starcraft there, lol!   | ||

Oldboy is actually the 2nd movie to his "Revenge Trilogy". Sympathy for Mr Vengeance was a bit slow at first but in ways i felt it was more crazier then oldboy, still an awesome watch. Lady Vengeance i personally thought was the worst out of the 3, but still good. It took a while to get to the so called "Revenge scenes" id like to call it. The last 30 minutes of that movie were fuckin awesome. Fuckin golden indeed. Overall Oldboy was the best out of the 3 but you really should look into the other 2 as well, awesome films. I personally seen Oldboy bout 10 times and still enjoy it  . + Show Spoiler + If you turn up the sound when they are in PC Cafe u can hear hydras dieing in the background by tanks :D | ||

Thats asian cinema for you. I was gonna lay down some fun Japanese films but if u thought Oldboy was twisted.. then i guess ill keep my mouth shut -_- edit: Not saying all Asian cinema is twisted like, just mentioning that Asian cinema usually has alot of films that western film directors and the public would ph33r to touch, which in my opinion is fuckin aweeesssommmeee.

Like someone else mentioned, you should watch the other two, "Sympathy for Lady/Mr Vengeance." Also, his most recent film, "'I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK," was amazing as well. Plus, his up and coming film, "Thirst," should be available soon. God, Chan-wook Park is brilliant. | ||

I think it's gotten so much easier to watch them now that they're more widely subtitled by online groups and also many companies here (especially CJ media.) subtitle their DVDs. I'm mainly a big fan of Ryeo Deokhwan so his back catalogue is the core of my collection Do you perhaps remember the title of the one with giant mutated catfish killing people? I think it was Korean, really fun to watch. | ||

Manit0u, I know what you're talking about... but damn.. that title just slipped out of my mind. I'll ask my sister and if I find it I'll pm it to you.

I wouldn't recommend getting the Oldboy bluray, though. The video quality is kinda ass. Not much better than the DVD. | ||

Tae Guk Gi was also a great movie, also one of my favorites. Very well done overall, probably my favorite war movie. | ||

fucking amazing! wow I guess I'm so used to Hollywood bullshit that this really shook me up, I was about to make a blog for Korean films (and asian in general, since I just heard of Ichi the Killer and am torrenting it now) but then I used my trusty search key so that's great. I just realized how much more I trust TLers opinions about this kinda stuff than "normal" people. | ||

If u find that you enjoyed it, u can try some other Takashi Miike movies like... Gozu, Visitor Q, and Yokai War just to name a few -_- | ||
