  • Well, at least we know he wont be giving his daughter tongue action.

  • Is the song that starts at 6:05 available anywhere? If so, what's it called?

  • @tjagolf33 Cries and whispers. There are several different versions of it.

  • So let me get this understood: If this film is inspired by Titus Andronicus according to TvTropes.org, then would Woo-jin be Titus, and Dae-su be the Goth Queen?

  • @Thedoctor19000 ok well thats just not right, there are several refferences to the royal danish court meaning its a rendition of hamlet, hence incest as the main theme... know your shakespeare sir

  • @PhuckingPhreakAble: Other sources state Titus Andronicus.

  • Top 10 list!

  • Amazing!

  • Greatest movie ever made!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dont remake it !

  • best movie EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • I love when Lee woo jin says to Mido on the cellphone "The box... Just leave it closed." Having had his revenge, he shows mercy to Dae-su, and spares Mido the secret...

  • @mahound9 no....it continues his revenge for eternity...after he cuts off his tongue dae su can't tell mido the secret anymore...so he's hounded for the rest of his life...can he truly live with his love knowing that she is his daughter? hiding that secret is infinitely times worse than woojin, who committed incest but MUTUALLY.

  • probably the best acting i've seen in years he was just overwhelmed with pain u could feel it

  • I still can't get over how good this movie is.

  • I love how he goes through every emotional state possible, from threatening to begging. You can really see how his psyche breaks down before your eyes. One of the greatest films of all time.

  • And that people is how you make a revenge movie.

  • oh this film is so elegant

  • I believe no1 from hollywood would ever be able to perform so fine as this dude did.... He is absolutely amazing!!!!

  • @restin333 Hollywood's version will probably be some shitty close-up in slow-motion where he just screams "NOOOOOOO" during five minutes. :/

  • WTF?

  • 1:03 - Look, I'm wagging my tail!!

  • I love the way that Dae-Su's nose is illuminated by the blood--- it frames him as a pathetic, tragic clown of sorts.

  • Holy Incest, Batman!!!

  • Modern day Oedipus.

  • This leaves me breathless every time.

  • Well that was fucked up.

  • @NzzzzNzzzzN Fuck off you prick, you deserve to die. This was an amazing film, you just fail to grasp the concept of great film making.

  • @InfuZedShaDoWz the movie was by all means fucked up. Praise it all you like but this has an appeal similar to Saw and Hostel. Might as well watch Ichi the Killer while your at it.

  • @Volf99 its not a fucked up and pointless as those movies though

  • @Volf99

    you obviously don't get it, and your wrong what kind of magnificent story twist did SAW or Hostel have?

    NONE thats what.....

    this movie may be fucked up But its NOthing Like HOSTEL or that cheap SAW series

    this is truly a better film than any of other films which crazy Deranged twists. And you obviously don't see that.

  • the scene where woo jin walks away to the elevator,

    MAAAAANNNNNN ITS SOOOOOO CHILINGLY BADAASSSSS!!!!

  • this movie fucked me up

  • I feel like a little kid when I experience genuine sadness during scenes such as these.

    But then, maybe that's a good thing.

  • there were some people asking who shot Woojin in the elevator... For those people, Woo jin shot himself because he had no more reason to live. Remember during the film, when Woo jin and his white hair subordinate met Dae soo in a small apartment? Woo jin said "there is no better cure for pain than revenge, but what if the revenge is done? wouldn't all those pain and sorrow come back to you all at once?" This is why he killed himself. He had his revenge and he had no more reason to live

  • never a dull..boring moment...this movie..

  • The reason why this movie stands in my top 10 ever.The story, camera, music...

  • was woo-jin laughing or crying?

  • @alexmatthews21 He was laughing... its fucking obvious

  • @saantinoo u dont have to be a dick about man... it looked like it for a bit when the camera was on the side of his face

  • @kokaly15 Yeah, we all had that doubt the first time, but you realize that he's laughing when he put his hand down, and then snorts....

    So, if you ask if he was laughing or crying:

    A- You didn't watch the whole clip

    B- You watch it, but you are so stupid that you ask even if you know the answer

    There's no room for interpretation.

    Like i said... is fucking obvious

  • @saantinoo I never said I didnt know whether he was laughing or crying, I knew he was laughing, all I said was that it looked like it for a bit when the camera was on the side of his face and i can see where alexmatthews21 thought he was crying,

    Like i said... you dont have to be a dick about it

  • @alexmatthews21 dont worry man... i thought the same thing because it looked like it for a bit... that saantinoo didnt have to be an asswipe about it...

  • Craziest scene ever. Thanks for upload

  • I still cry when I watch this

  • he looks sort of like jackie chan with the cloth stuck in his mouth.

  • where the subs?

  • @recoveryprankcalls Obviously not here.

  • @scarface1999 man your response made me laugh so hard :D

  • @scarface1999 That is why you fail.

  • Woo Jin....now that is quite some movie villain...the part is played so sublimely and so very understated, absolutely brilliant performance...yes of course he is totally 'f**ked up'....but that is the power of love, regardless of how you feel about incest.

    The laughing was perfect...what else could he do...it was all he had.

    A tradegy of Shakespearean proportions....and a remarkable work of art.

  • Woo-Jin is such an ass. lol.

  • this whole movie is like a freakin greek tragedy.

  • Woo-Jin is one slick mo fo!

    Wonder who they could get who looks that good in a suit lol

  • i really thought Woojin was crying! lol that bastard

  • master piece

  • At first I thought Woo-Jin was crying but then realized he was laughing uncontrollably. That is some of the coldest shit I have ever seen! Coooold Blooode

  • @achilles6221981 i think that was whats intended, amazin fuckin acting

  • Wow.

    This movie deserves an applause. A long one.

    The music in the background really does it though. Especially during the bridge scene. I can't really explain why though. Its just... wow. Exceptional.

  • i dont get it? he like,freaked out when he heard the...gross sounds...oh waitt,was that his daughter? he never killed his wife! he raped it his daughter....ew.

  • @partygrl211 You should watch the movie (again). Haha. You apparently don't get what happened...

  • Weird how's she's dangling from the bridge, yet her hair is flowing the direct opposite way that it should be.

  • Its probably the wind... the actress actually had to hang at the edge of the bridge during filming. Though of course she had ropes to keep her from falling.

  • great isn't how it was never his revenge, very clever

  • Its just the cloudiness often too familiar in pretenious action or drama movies that is used here is fascinating, because its pulled off so completely well. Hats off Korean brothers, hats off.

  • So... does it ever say who shot him?

  • What do you mean? He shot himself.

  • Ahh, awkward.

  • So you mean after all his torture... the complicated, absurdly long, sadistic plan of the Korean crime boss was to drop the only hope his victim will ever even gt at claiming vengeance for all the wrong in his life caused by this man and gets tricked by it as the only solution because of the depravity, only to hear a girl who slept with him get probably fucked on the other end of the taperecorder. Wow. And I got al that from the raw Korean movie, no subtitles at all!

  • Yeah, but the reason the recording was so horrible to him is because it was his daughter.

  • @Gjkl345 no its that the skinny guy loved his sister (i know its gross) and she killed herself bc she thought she was a preggo. the old man made up the rumor that she was. so the skinny dude wanted revenge so he killed the wife raised the kid and brainwashed both into fucking !!!!!!!!

  • this movie is great!!

    it always makes me shocking everytime i see it

  • woo-jin is officially the greatest movie villain of all time. the fact alone that he got his enemy to unknowingly commit incest puts him at the top of the list.

  • woo needs therapy.

  • :) i am a korean living in england. i saw many guys obsessed with asian girls like you. quite many of them were so pathetic. amazingly shy with low self-esteem. but become so brave only when drunk or having no ones around. not surprising at all to see this comment.

  • It was a joke, you didn't have to take it seriously. And I'm not surprised they have low self-esteem, it is england

  • the last part is my favorite

  • best movie ever made, i really hope this movie will never be remade

  • I dont know korean! Wheres the frickin sub titles!

  • This movie is fucking amazing!

  • best fucking movie of all time. in case you guys didn't know, the actor who plays oh dae su adlibs this entire scene where he's begging woo jin not to tell mido (sorry if i spelled the names wrong). amazing, right?

  • I still think it's up to the viewer, Because the first time i saw the movie I got that it worked.

  • absolutely epic ending. woojins farewell was had to be the best scene. one of the best movie of all times. btw oh daesu knows the whole thing in the end after hypnosis. he walked the steps but it was the wrong oh daesu that walked away. it is shown on his face when he hugs mido. the sadness, bitterness, tragedy... what a great film! the last scene was filmed in new zealand btw haha

  • They've already got us talking about it.

    If they get enough hits with this they're definately going through with it. If not, if they don't think anyone will see it, chances are, they won't make it.

  • 6:00 best part :)

  • why the hell do they have to steal the light away from a perfect movie?? ugh hollywood

  • I don't fucking care who remakes it.

    It's still going to suck.

    And the only reason they are remaking it it's because Hollywood is unoriginal and americans don't understand these type of movie.

  • I esp. hate the fact how americans draw the attn. back to hollywood rather than appreciating good foreign films for what they are. meh

  • EXACTLY

  • I'm american and I understand this movie. It happens to be my favorite.. so I don't get what you're saying. But american directors are trash, I agree.

  • I agree..plus americans NEED to see this film!!! I teared up at the ending just the fact that the last hypnosis didnt work and hes going to try to love wich is fucked up but sad

  • The last hypnosis did work. When they show the footprints back to the chair that means the "monster" walked and died with the secret.

  • Thats what they want you to think...but when the lady said "i love you" he was happy but part of him still knew the secret cuz he looked like he was about to cry

  • I suppose it's up to the viewer then.

  • No, if you watch the BluRay with Park's commentary, he said he left the ending open to interpretation. The footprints could be the "monster" or the hypnotist's.

  • You can't remake OLD BOY........ A also hear that they are remaking LET THE RIGHT ONE IN........ Why do they have to fuck with stuff that isn't broken??????

  • now i get the wll smith jokes all around, this film is being REMAKE american way, question is, WHY?

  • Apparently the entire incest plot was not in the original manga that this film is reletively loosely based on, and this remake is going to be an adaptation closer to the manga.

  • Comment removed

  • I am going to kill will....

    (with a hammer) XD

  • Jesus Christ, that is exactly how I picture it!

  • as long as i know this movie is rare succeced one which is based on Japanese comics. usually Japanese comic based movie become so bad... but this director and actors made this movie so great. i love the movie version's charactor background more than comic version.

  • Woo-jin was a psychopathic, sadistic, incestuous asshole. The thrill-seeking American inside me wanted SO badly to see Dae Su rip the fucker apart...but then I realized that the film's actual conclusion was so much more poetic (and disturbing.)

    One of the best tragedies ever set to film

  • @Mood1ndigo

    The first time I saw this, that was also my reaction. But what good would the film be if it gave you what you wanted to see, or what genre films had led you to expect?

  • @Mood1ndigo

    leaving the end un-ended

    that's what makes the Old Boy one of best dark films of all time.

    or should i say it depicts the dark and sick side of humans?

    (or should i say Korean/Japanese horror thriller?)

  • The entire scene from when Oh Dae-su walks into the pent house, to when Lee Woo-Jin Commits suicide, is one of the best movie scenes I have ever seen in my life. So much emotion. Really dark though.

  • I agree !

  • dear Mansoor9, youve got it wrong mate.

    oldboy came owt before Zinda

    respect

  • You got a site for that then??

    How the hell can you change the data from IMDB?? internet movie data base??

    You're saying that some Koreans changed it? When Park Chan Wook just released another movie?

    So who sued them? makers of zinda? how did they know that the Koreans changed it?

    Again, have you got a site for that??

    Reply back please.

  • And seriously, Zinda came out after Oldboy. Friggin idiot. Check out that site i gave you and be sure to reply back to me prick.

  • imdb com/title/tt0488906/

    check out the goofs section, and the comments section, and see how many people agrees with me, dickhead.

    It's Korean by the way, not japanese. learn about the movie before commenting. Who's the idiot now.

    Zinda is crap, deal with it.

    Ohhhh check out your youtube site compared to mine.

    How many people hates you compared to me? hmm guess not much likes you

  • Zinda is no way better than this and Zinda is a pathetic remake of Old boy, and YES it is a remake. It evens says on the site.

  • i am agree with you this movie even Won Cannes . Yeah mansoor9 Zinda Won Oscar hahahhahaha.. those bollywood has many Pathetic remake from Asian Movie. i saw some

  • thank you, hayuatuhah.  Mansoor9... You gonna reply back soon mate?

  • This is my message to Hollywood.

    Stop trying to dip your finger in every movie you see. YOU MAKE MOVIES DUMP.

    And Spielberg, what in the SHIT are you doing. Which one of your movies have the slightest link to Old Boy? "ET"?? "TRANSFORMERS"?? seriously you can make something like "Baby boy" rather than "Old boy".

    And Will Smith WILL NOT eat live octopus, or pull someones teeth out with a hammer. I mean... he's cast in Independence day... :S

  • Transformers isn't Spielberg's movie. Director is Michael Bay - spielberg just giving him cash. He sucks! HAHA

  • 근친상간을 엄히 금기하는 한국 정서를 갖지 않은 외국인이 이 영화를 이해할 수 있을지 의문이다.

    훌륭한 영화..

  • 암 그렇죠.

  • zinda was released in '06. oldboy in '03. can you do math?

  • no it didn't. that turd of a movie was ripped off 3 years after oldboy came out.

  • those bastards ripped off Oldboy

  • one of the best movie ever. Who knows the real cinema knows why

  • this is one of the greatest scenes i've ever seen in my life.

    How could they give the Prize to that farenheit 911 documetary yellow press shit ??!

    I agree, this movie is a PURE MASTERPIECE.

  • definetly one of the finest films ever made, and trust me, you dont want to know the plot, if you dont have a clue about this film, then its perfect for you.

  • when i first saw this movie, in its entiredy, i couldn't stop thinking about for weeks. such a beautiful film

  • it is a tragedy. a king leer in the korean style. fucking harsh.

  • one of (if not THE) greatest revenge sequences committed to celluloid. i fucking LOVE this movie!

    for those of you who don't know what's going on... the whole ending is more or less ruined for you but still, go to your library and RENT THIS MOVIE!! IT'S A MASTERPIECE!!!

  • Poesia!!!

  • I find the general themes and plot twists of this film to be very Shakespearean.

    The music when he's cutting out his tongue is hauntingly amazing by the way.

  • Yes, the music has a tragic inevitability to it. The story has elements of King Oedipus, which obviously also inspired Daeu-su's act of self-mutilation.

  • He was gonna tell Desu's daughter that he was really infact her dad. So he offered to cut off his tongue! Surprise!

  • no you dont understand

    he cut his tongue because tht will fulfill woojin's plans of revenge

    the main protagonist indirectly caused woojin's sister to commit suicide becuz he witnessed a case of incest and reported it to the whole school,so by cutting his tongue,it will indoubtedly make woojin happy

  • It was Woo-jin's price for telling Park not to open the box.

  • he doesnt look very old

  • @MELIPAISITA WATCH THE MOVIE

  • @Loustrikesagain i will yes yes yes :)

  • @MELIPAISITA

  • @Forfunaccount thankss i will look for it asap :) 

  • The absolute best foreign film I've ever seen. It's a must. Don't watch if you already know the ending though, it ruins it.

  • Big movie...

    realy...

    is so ironic..

  • poor dae su but i guess it was coming
