Oldboy

The most bonkers film that I’ve watched. Rewatching this cause I miss the feeling that I get when watching this for the first time in 2020. At that time I’m still at my early stages of being a cinephile and South Korean cinema for me feels unknown and this film being my introductory to it made me realized that South Korean cinema could show what they are truly capable by making something that out of the box and breaching the moral stages for the audience. Oldboy as an overall experience feels unsettling with its story and how mind boggling it is. The film ultimately also teach how action more specificall on the choices that you made could came up with consequences even when you didn’t realized it at first. The film also doesn’t really takes side on what’s right or wrong, moreover to show how obsessions and shame could lead someone to a life that is more vulnerable and broken just like how the film takes lot of violence and poignant elements to it.
