I'm a bit confused with the ending. Maybe I'm just a spaz but why was he locked in that room for 15 years and was that his daughter or sister he was banging when he got out? I liked the movie but I must have missed something at the end when he was looking thru the fotos.

Thanx 8-)

Yeah i've seen it and it's a bit hard to follow but rough storyline from what I remember is:

When oldboy was young he busted a guy and this girl fucking at school or something. he tells everyone in school and it turns out the girl was his sister. She kills herself after this all goes down and people find out. The brother grows up and takes his revenge by locking him away for 15 years in that hotel and hypnotising him to root his daughter, who was born before he got kidnapped. She isn't aware they are related either. At the end of the movie oldboy asks the hypnotist to make him forget about what they had done together.

Ok. So that explains why someone was saying he talks too much. I guess it was to do when he was younger. Just seems weird how the dude who locked him up looks way younger then him. Thanx anyway. Makes more sense now.

On the subject of south korean movies, The Chaser is also a pretty awesome movie.

This should pretty much sum it up for you.

Great film, wish it wasn't being remade though :(

Just wanted to chime in and say this is an awesome movie both artistically and technically. A great benchmark in Korean and world filmmaking.

Yeah it's a good movie. I thought at the start it was just a generic asian gangster flick but instead it's a griity action mind-fuck.

I didn't think it was complicated, but yes it was good. Worth watching if you've got some time to kill. Better than most movies for sure.

Another great korean movie I just got done watching tonight. The Man From Nowhere. Really recommend it! There is an awesome fight scene at the end and quite brutal. It made me cringe just imaging what was happening.

You'll need to pose your questions a little better next time - just a quick FYI, oldboy. :o :p
