Oldboy 2003 movie torrent download

The violence, at times, comes off like a well-scripted choreography. Where Miike tries to shock the audience and push the limits, Park seems content to stay just on the edge and make sure it is done in good form. The biggest problem with this film is that it suffers from the same issue that "The Sixth Sense" did.

While "Oldboy" has many twists and surprises, one of them will probably be told to a viewer before he or she watches the movie. And that is unfortunate. Does it ruin the movie to know twists in advance? Maybe not. But it might be best to have things revealed as the story intends them to be. All in all, a solid film. If I had any complaint, I could say the film was a bit long. But the pacing was steady, so it was not an unenjoyable longness. Not for all audiences, this film should be seen by those who can appreciate it.

I heard quite a few things about this Korean film, that it was really grizzly, so I was expecting it to be to a horror film, and even though I was wrong on that part, I knew it was in the book Movies You Must See Before You Die.

Basically Dae-su Oh Min-sik Choi is planning to see his daughter on the day of her birthday, after getting out of the police station completely drunk, but he disappears without trace. He has been imprisoned in a shabby cell with no explanation, meagre amounts of food, one range of clothes, one bed, one television, and gas that puts him to sleep every night, and he counts the time he is inside.

He marks his time on his arm with tattoos, and he starts chipping his way through the wall, prepared to fall however many stories up he is, as long as he gets out.

All of the sudden he wakes up coming out a trunk in a field, with fresh expensive clothes, money and a cellphone, and of course the knowledge that he was imprisoned for fifteen years, and now he wants revenge. He stops in a Japanese restaurant where he gets a suspicious phone call, and he meets chef Mido Hye-jeong Kang , and they quickly have a strong attraction for each other. She wants to help Dae-su Oh find the ones who held in captivity, and the reason why, and he doesn't care how he gets to the truth or who gets hurt in the process.

Eventually, after a few back and forth moment, Dae-su Oh concludes that it was Woo-jin Lee Ji-tae Yu responsible, but he tells a big secret when explaining the reasons. It wasn't just that it was saying a certain something to Mido, or that both of them were hypnotised to fall in love with each other, the reason they were was because they are already married! It is an interesting story, if a little vague in places, but for seeing moments like eating a live octopus, some fight scenes, and of course the teeth pulling scene inspired by Marathon Man , it is certainly an action thriller to admire.

Very good! Tweekums 11 February Oldboy was my introduction to Korean cinema, and what an introduction it was. Initially it seems to make little sense the first thing we see is a man with a dog leaning backwards over the edge of a tall building and another man is holding onto his tie which prevents him from falling, this man says he has a story to tell. Then the story begins with the man, Oh Dae-Su, drunk in a police station, a friend collects him but while his friend is making a call in a public phone box he vanishes.

The next time we see him he is imprisoned in a room never seeing his captor who feeds him through a hatch in the door and gasses him anytime something needs doing in the room. He learns from the television that his wife has been murdered and that evidence at the scene suggests that he is the killer even though he has been in his room for a year at this point.

As the years pass Oh Dae-Su plans his revenge while trying to escape but shortly before he manages to break out he is gassed again and wakes up outside on the roof of the tall building where he meets the man with the dog.

After letting his story he leaves the man who then jumps but Oh Dae-Su does not look back. While looking at the fish in a restaurant window a stranger gives him a wallet and a phone. He goes inside and after eating a live octopus receives a call during which he passes out. When he wakes up he discovers that the girl who served him in the restaurant has taken him home.

Although he initially doesn't trust her they soon falls in love. Shortly after this he is told he has five days to discover why he was kidnapped or the girl will be killed. He only has a few clues as to his captor but as he follows them and gets closer his life gets more confusing till eventually he realises what he did to earn such a terrible punishment. The action is exciting and and a few places fairly gruelling such as when he uses a claw hammer for tooth extraction although some people might find the octopus eating more disturbing.

I remember seeing t his movie back in the day when it was first released, and I remember the movie as being quite good and entertaining. So when I got the chance to sit down and watch it again in , I did so. Either my taste in movies have changed dramatically over the past 15 years or my memory of the movie have been somewhat deluded. Because this movie was not all that spectacular as I remembered it, nor as the high rating would otherwise indicate. The movie is unfathomably long, dragging on to the point where it feels redundant.

Especially because there isn't a whole lot actually happening in the 2 hours that the movie run for. So it was somewhat of an ordeal to sit through it and not have my attention wander elsewhere. It was solely the performance of Min-sik Choi that made me stick with the movie to the very end, this second time around. He was phenomenal in the role and was really so well cast for that particular role. But just a shame that he had so very little to work with. The storyline was mundane and rather stumbling.

It took forever to get from A to B, because a whole lot of nothing had to be told and shown on screen in the process of getting there. Which made it feel very prolonged and strained in a way.

I will not be returning to watch "Oldboy" aka "Oldeuboi" a third time, that much is for certain. Quinoa 2 February Oldboy was a film I saw twice in the theater, in New York City the second time not totally intentional, just the only thing playing worth seeing , and saw again recently. I'm still struck on how balls-to-the-wall director Chanwook Park goes with his story. It's actually not a bad story, but it needs a certain push and originality in drive to make it work. For some this will be overkill, and it's not without an argument.

The film is violent, though perhaps not on the level of Fukasaku or Miike's films. It's disturbing, but in a way that hits deep by way of raw emotions that can only come out of East Asian cinema. And it has a level of drama that's staggering, maybe for some a little far-fetched.

But it's also a good lot of the time a bitingly funny film, loaded with attitude to match its style, but with a heart as well. The small low-down on the story: Oh Dae-su Choi Min-Sik in a towering performance worthy of Charles Bronson or Harvey Keitel or both is nabbed un-wittingly and thrown into a prison.

We follow him along in his long stint, seeming forever, until he suddenly gets 'released' into the open. Now it's time for revenge, but is the question of the truth, of the why, even more crucial than actually getting payback? This becomes the main dramatic pull of Oldboy, but it's not just a kind of ultra-violent fight and action filled epic saga.

It's also a love story, so to speak, and a film about the mistakes of youth. The antagonist of the story, Lee Woo-Jin Yu Ji-Tae in what is one of the most absorbing and calmly demented performances in recent memory , becomes a very threatening, dark presence in the film, omnipresent a lot of the time, like a devil watching over it's subject. And when it comes to the climax, there is a level of Greek tragedy that's so strong, it had a good few in the theater I saw the film clinging tenaciously to their seats.

The story, admittedly, is relatively thin when one thinks about it, and if a director wanted to pull a Howard Hawks and cut past all of the modern aesthetic the film would be a third less in length. But the twisted pleasure of watching a film like Oldboy unfold is in the manipulation of the style, how Park and his director of photography Jeong Jeong-hung give the film an indie wham-bang zeal while at the same time following no rules.

This is demonstrated in many tense scenes, but the memorable ones include at least a few key moments in Oh Dae-Su's prison cell, and particularly the infamous long-shot as the fight breaks out in the prison hallway.

Seeing a scene like this may or may not draw some viewers down the line right away; how much can you take seeing a scene lasting 3 or 4 or more minutes of just brutal beating, choreographed to a full intensity? As with the film in general, it's a not-too guilty pleasure for genre fans, and for others they might watch it and think 'eh'.

But it is also in the people, in the characters that creates a heightened pitch in Oldboy. It's like a filmed graphic novel in some ways, but dealing with characters who possible exceptions being Lee Woo Jin and some of his 'posse' are not part of a criminal underworld, and our main hero is turned inside out, into what he calls as himself a 'monster' watch for the reference to Frankenstein on TV, by the way. So, when it comes time for this harsh, piercing revelation scene in the high tower Lee occupies, it leads to some devastating stuff.

Like the darkest bits out of Sophocles, Park's characters are practically doomed by fate, and it's not much of a picnic for them getting there. But for the audience, it's created as a post-modern stew. Oldboy is rough, taut, and in spurts quite visionary. Perverse, obtuse, profane, controversial; but award-winning revenge drama about a common businessman Min-sik Choi with a family and a habit of getting drunk after work being kidnapped and put in a makeshift prison.

He is incarcerated for no obvious reason; his prison resembles a rundown hotel room This becomes his home for fifteen years; he is finally allowed to watch TV where he sees that he is a wanted man for murdering his wife and daughter. He contemplates suicide several times, but mostly he works out and writes of his situation in a journal. Just like he was kidnapped, he is set free and being obsessed in his wanting to carry out his revenge This South Korean film includes scenes of torture, sexuality and ultra-strong violence.

This one is not easy to forget. Oldboy is one hell of a movie. It is a film that is characterized by surrealism, gritty violence and raw emotion. The theme is about revenge and how it destroys one person. After viewing it, it left me silent for more than five minutes to contemplate on what I have seen.

It was simply a masterpiece. It has proved that Koreans are one of the most creative when it comes to cinema. But mind you, this film is not for everyone. Especially for the weak at heart. Aside from revenge, it touches subject on incest as well. The acting is world-class in this film. Credit should also be given to Gang Hye-jung as Mido.

The characters are given emotional depth that one could sympathize for. They were not simply categorized as either good or evil but they were allowed to feel raw emotion. The direction was also spectacular from Park Chan-wook.

And the soundtrack was mesmerizing. This is definitely a must-see especially for people who love another kind of entertainment. I could have given this a 11 out of 10 rating if only I am allowed to. Vertigo tedg 17 February No movie stands alone. When we watch it, we bring all sorts of expectations to it, and a large part of that is the genre we expect.

If we expect style, we are particularly acute in how we judge that factor, for instance. In fact, we've come to rely on how a film announces itself. What I find interesting about this one is that it deliberately subverts any expectations we might have along these lines.

For example, most viewers will consider this a "revenge" movie, a very specific subgenre, and judge it on those merits. The problem is that the filmmaker goes out of his way early in the game to announce that these fellows are correct in their assumptions. He then pulls the rug out from under those simple viewers, just as he does the hero.

That's the art here, and you'll have to judge just how important it is to you. I've become aware in the last few years how important the entry into a film is.

The biggest, most shocking thing a filmmaker does is take us to another world. There are two big jumps he or she needs to make. The first jump is in the first few minutes, where the nature of the work is presented. If the movie is a strict genre film, this is easy because we have so many shorthand designators. Music is important. The second big step has to do with the first plot point.

In this case, the episode tells us that the hero our surrogate sees only what is intended. His perception is bent, manipulated. His TeeVee is our movie. I registered this against films that weave stories about how stories are woven. The touchstone of course is "Vertigo," where two forces or beings on screen struggle to create a "movie" in front of us, each one trying to define a false future that merges with the similar future of the movie we watch.

We have three entities as creators here. We have the guy we think is the master creator, Park, who we see borrows images as if he were in a drugged dream and can dream only in terms that he saw before he was locked up and gassed. We have the supposed master manipulator, who hypnotizes, drugs, confines, bribes, and uses force and technology to make things turn out precisely the way he wants. Precisely, with no misstep whatever. Nominally he is the one creating the reality we see, but his manipulation is more perfect than that even of Park, so we know he is suspect.

And then we have the fellow that seems to be the puppet. But is he? He is the one that writes. Such comprehensive notebooks or diaries are common code in movies for something we enter. He is the one who dreams, for whom the images on TeeVee become a fantasy life replacing the "real" one.

He is the one with the interesting hallucinations that start with the purely hallucinogenic notion of exiting from a truck onto a grassy rooftop. He is the one who eats life, and in fact traces his roots back to the manipulator by surveying restaurants.

That business about snow and lost tongue and erased memory at the end. Shouldn't that tell us who imagined or created what we see? This idea originated in "," where Kubrick played with the notion of who was narrating what we see: is it man, computer or deity?

See this. Register it so that you can enjoy it. Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching. Awesome Korean movie. I like the bit where he cut his tongue off. Theo Robertson 30 July For me the word " challenging " is perhaps most associated as challenging someone to a duel. You see a man walk down the street arm in arm with a woman who is far too good for him so challenge him to a duel.

You cross swords literally and kill your opponent where hopefully the woman won't want his death to be in vain so she gives you her heart and soul for all eternity. There can be nothing more romantic than disemboweling or decapitating a man over a hot chick and if you think my way of thinking is grotesque or perverse please watch this film before casting any judgment over my character OLDBOY is hardly original.

Its central core revolves around an anti-hero gaining revenge against someone who wronged him. This is a story influenced by the western genre , the French New Wave and New Hollywood but one suspects this type of plot has been going on since before cinema. The protagonist Dae finds himself confined to a prison of sorts for 15 years where he's occasionally gassed by " the gas Russians use on Chechen terrorists ".

Would that be the same gas that the Spetnatz used on a Moscow theater that killed a third of the hostages they were trying to save? Right away you're drawn to an unlikely plot hole where if Dae is getting gassed over a period of 15 years surely his captors would eventually cock up and give him a fatal dose? The premise of being confined for 15 years might have worked better in a short film if only because we'd either see the reason for it be revealed after 10 , 15 or 20 minutes or have it left totally enigmatic.

Unfortunately we have to endure another 90 minutes of nonsense The director Chan Wook Park insists on alienating the audience by introducing concepts such as graphic violence such as Dae performing dental surgery on someone's mouth without him being a qualified dentist , surrealism such as a woman seeing a six foot insect sitting on a tube train and most infamously of all animal cruelty where a live octopus is eaten. Park might deserve some congratulations on staging a fight sequence with Dae and a dozen protagonists that was obviously shot in one take but is so over the top , especially considering Dae has been stuck in a cell for 15 years all credibility vanishes after the first couple of blows The big revelation at the end is to be fair in keeping the rather nauseating tone of the movie - Dae's nemesis is a former schoolmate who had sex with his own sister , got her pregnant and she committed suicide when Dae found out hence the reason for his imprisonment.

Some people have complained about the schoolmate appearing 20 years younger than Dae but I suppose the years of solitary confinement have taken a physical toll on Dae. But there again Dae as I said can wipe the floor with a dozen thugs so has the confinement really been bad to him physically? On top of that why let him out after 15 years? Why leave him there for eternity or just kill him? Some people will claim because it's so different then it deserves its placing. The fact is there's nothing unique about it.

The plot is something Jean Luc Goddard could have come up with decades ago and the graphic violence is an everyday occurrence on the torture porn sub genre. If someone wants something really challenging then just show me your girlfriend and a pair of swords and I'll give a proper challenge.

LeonLouisRicci 23 April They Literally Speak a Different Language. In More Ways than One. Welcome to the New Millennium. It is because those who have come Late to the Party, are Pretending to have been there all along.

The ending in which Dae-su goes to the New Zealand Alps to be hypnotised feels tagged on as well almost as if the makers wanted some sort of happy ending. The acting looks alright but it's hard to tell when actors are speaking a different language. Apparently the second in director Choi-wook Park's revenge trilogy which also includes Sympathy for Mr.

After getting out of a hotel room like prison a man searches for answers and revenge. The description is simple, direct and probably the best way to explain this great film. Its not that a more detailed recounting of the plot would ruin it like say the Sixth Sense, or The Village, rather its simply that the plot is so layered that to know more simply may result in too much confusion.

Containing a central performance that is simply one of the best performances of the last five or ten years this film is Oscar worthy from top to bottom, which is a shame since as of this writing the film has not yet been released in the United States where it would undoubtedly blow away almost any film it comes in contact with. Ultimately it is better than even the Michael Moore film it lost to at Cannes.

This is grand film making and I can not recommend it highly enough. However be warned, its violent and dark at times. It will disturb you, the same way that Silence of the Lambs or Seven disturbed you although there are no serial killers 10 out of A man Choi Min-sik is kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years without knowing why or who is behind it.

He is then mysteriously released and given clothes, money, and a cell phone. He sets out to try and find answers so he can get revenge on who imprisoned him.

Along the way he becomes involved with a pretty young chef Kang Hye-jung. It's a good film but perhaps not as great as it's made out to be. Oldboy With images Good movies on netflix.
