Oldboy

"After being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must find his captor in 5 days"

Thus begins Oldboy, a proof that not only American movies are deserved to be watched.

Directed by Chan-wook Park, an unknown director in Europe and USA, the film take us to a story where nothing is what it seems. When Dae-su is released from his prison, he begins a travel through his new life trying to discover why he was imprisoned, who was his captor and, most important, why they let him go free after 15 years. A mysterious story where the audience also get involved trying to solve the clues.

In my own opinion, the film makes me think, somehow, about Amelie. Although they are not linked in any apparent way, the movie has some "crazy" scenes where you can feel the same sense of humor, but it is a little bit more black in Oldboy.... - However, lot of people will disagree with me about that ;p. Anyway, I am sure they will agree more with me if I say that some scenes could be extracted from Quentin Tarantino's movie. If you watch the movie, you will understand why I say all of that, jeje.

It is very important to stand out the excellent Original Sound Track of the film, you can find an example in my "Kiops Mp3Player", some philosophic phrases that I detail below and some extra surprises ;D.

As I used to say,... ENJOY IT.
