If there was an American version made, I wouldn't watch it either...the original is one of the greatest films ever made. Asian cinema is so refreshing after growing up with American films.
@Gr8Success , i disagree, the end is actually less sad than the rest of the movie i think, he does'nt remember all the awfull things that the "bad guy" (of course it's not that simple) did to him, and he can love the girl again, since he forgot who she really is (being carefull with the spoilers!) but anyway, this film is one of the greatest and sadest i've ever seen.
@bessonpaul SPOILERS. at the end of the movie you don't really know if he forgot who she is. in the last seconds you can see how he is going to cry. could mean that he still remember.
SPOILER! you are right, but he is not really about to cry, his mimic is a reference to to the picture that was hanging in his cell. "a man you can´t say he´s laughing or crying..." or so
love this film, love the mangas, but i have no love for the american version - i know theyll be following the structure of the manga books but i know theyll F things right up like always.
if theres anyone to breath back life into the terminator films its park chan wook. He could do wonders for the film and he could do it much cheaper. Oldboy was what 4 million to make and its fantastic just goes to say it isnt how much money you throw at a film that makes it good its the approach and style you adopt.
im going to petiton for it not to be remade.not becuase i dont like Will Smith or becuase im bored and know that a petiton wont amount to anything but becuase the original is fine as it is and i dont see how it can be surpassed.
The reason why Hollywood do remakes is because some narrow minded people do not like to read subtitles or watch a film made by a different culture. It then appeals to the commercial market making it more profitable, sad really... no one could ever top the original.

The music of this movie is so awesome just like the movie itself... damn i want this soundtrack but its hard to get :( Does someone has an idea where to get it?
the reason why i'm gonna dislike the hollywood remake of this movie is because they'll certainly turn this cool movie into an action movie changing the plot
You should also watch "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance". You can also legally download it's soundtrack for free from the internet. It just seems that the English and even the Korean websites are offline...
yeah right, lady vengeance is great though it hasn't got the same (emotional) power and this unique caracters like in oldboy... it'd give the flick 10 out of 10 but oldboy is my favourite one :P
@equinox2244 Definitely. It's part of the Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) and totally worth a watch!
@equinox2244 I liked "I saw the Devil" (with Choi Min-sik, the main character from Oldboy) and also Thirst/Bakjwi which was directed by Park Chan-wook (who also directed Oldboy and Lady Vengeance).
Actually, the only movie i know of besides for OldBoy, which has a complete original soundtrack that is amazing and memorable from first 'till last track without sucking at ANY time, is "All About Lily Chou-Chou". God damn... The Cowboy Bebop series would be included on my list, if it was a movie :)
Have you checked out the songs from Lily Chou-Chou's soundtrack though? Do a seacrh for "lily chou wings" and pick the first track. ALL the music in that movie is cool like that, though the movie itself is only good (not excellent like OldBoy).
my favourite film of all time ` i mean my korean film asked me to watch it once and ever since i loved it thanks hyung nim , if it wasnt for you i would have missed the most amazing heart gripping of all time
i'm crying
