RD Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Anyone seen Oldboy? The japanese film? It was an awesome movie about a man that was kidnappend and held for 15 years and then takes revenge. Well theres a sequel coming Lady Vengeance Quote
ginsengavenger Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 my buddy at work was just telling me to watch that as well, seems it's time~ Quote
JAL Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Yep I saw it when it premiered in Finland. I liked it a lot, however it was a truely weird movie. Quote
jayrabbit Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 this is not a sequel, it has nothing to do with oldboy. by the way, there's hollywood remake of oldboy coming and it's probably gonna suck big time. Quote
RD Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah i know sequel is the wrong word Quote
Mazy Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Aye Oldboy was pretty good, was a tad disappointed when I saw it the first time (Was expecting something else from the trailer). Anyway as alot better the second time I saw it~ Donno about that movie looks okay I guess, and an American Oldboy remake? :sigh: Quote
Tequila Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 South Korean, yeah. They have a really strong film industry - lots to check out if you've got the time and are willing to put a little effort in. I highly recommend 'Memories of Murder'. Oldboy's great, naturally. The hammer scene alone is joyous. Quote
ReNo Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Oh man, an American remake? Why do they have to try and put their stamp on good foreign films? I'm avoiding watching the US remake of French film Taxi like the plague - they not only changed the Mercedes gang into bikini babes, but switched uber-taxi driver Daniel for Queen Latifah - and I'm not exactly sure what to think about the remake of Hong Kong classic Infernal Affairs starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

RD Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Posted April 23, 2006 There was a dutch movie of a man being buried alive and the last 10 minutes of the movie he is scratching his coffin to get out which he never does. In the American remake he escapes. I can kinda understand why because its probably the most horrible way to die and they dont want to bring serial killers to the idea. On the other hand its pathetic.

ginsengavenger Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 Oh man, an American remake? Why do they have to try and put their stamp on good foreign films? Because original ideas are risky and it costs a lot of money to make a movie Quote
mawibse Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 I liked Lady Vengeance better then Oldboy for some reason. Just like Constant Gardener youre feelings for some characters are changing during the movie. And since I am a father the last part of the movie was pretty intence. Quote
Oski Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 Oh man, an American remake? Why do they have to try and put their stamp on good foreign films? Because original ideas are risky and it costs a lot of money to make a movie Its just lack of imagination, balls and any sort of creative thinking. Quote
