Review of Oldboy (2003) by Tims — 19 May 2008
Jackie, the point of the movie is not to destroy all your faith in humanity, but to question it. Park actually portrays a good view of humanity. Oldboy tells us that revenge is not the best option. By stripping bare Dae-su and then recreating him as an animalistic beast he is basically showing the depths of human destruction, and how far the want for revenge is from that lowest point.
This movie is as close to a masterpiece of cinematography and plot as you could find...
