This movie is one of my favorite korean movie. It has amazing cinematography,acting and music. If you do not mind somewhat shocking movie content (violence,nudity,adult content etc), it can be great exerience. It is supposed to be shown chichago area. Do not miss opportunity to watch on big screen. I think Ebert gave 4 star. rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050324/REVIEWS/50310001Korean drama is usually mellow but movie anything goes. If this movie does well, there is a chance you can see Mr. Bae's next movie in chicago. who knows. FYI, Here is theater lists.

oh, if this movie does well in chicago, there is huge chance you can see Lee Young Ae(Dae Jang Geum)'s next movie in Chichago Big Screen. Lee Young Ae's next movie "Sympathy for Lady Vengency" is done by same director, Park Chan Wook.

My Korean DH thought this movie was vile and threw it away. (He bought it last year in Korea).
He didn't even want me to watch it, so I'm not sure of the content.

Can you handle the truth?
It is definitely adult themed movie but if you can handle kill bill, you can appreciate this movie I think.

It's also gaining notoriety (from a food scene) in the US. ************* U.S. newspapers in their reviews of the Korean film “Oldboy” invariably zoomed in on a scene where the hero Oh Dae-su (played by Choi Min-sik) gulps down a small live octopus. Perhaps they felt sorry for the octopus, or because the scene encapsulates Oh’s brutal temperament. “Let's just say the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Octopoids will be picketing most screenings,” the Washington Post commented on April 8. In the Friday edition of the Boston Globe, film critic Ty Burr wrote, “By the time the hero sits down in a sushi bar to eat a live, wriggling squid, you'll have probably figured out whether ‘Oldboy’ is or isn't for you.” In a review on the same day, the San Francisco Chronicle suggested the scene has already acquired a certain fame by word of mouth when it said, “And there's an already notorious scene in a restaurant that begins when he announces, 'I want to eat something live...'" The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote, “The ‘money scene’ must be a cute young sushi chef falling hard for the rather dilapidated Oh after seeing him swallow a sizable and writhing octopus. It doesn't go down easy.”

Sympathy for Lady Vengency is the end of Vengency trilogy doen by Director Park Chan-wook. It is starring Lee young-Ae(dae jang gum) as heroine. Choi min-sik(from old boy) will play villain in this movie. I really like music in this movie. FYI. You can listen to sound track for free in korea bugs music website. music.bugs.co.kr/Info/album.asp?cat=Base&menu=m&Album=19356you have to use internet explorer and give permission to activex to run. Either firefox or safari will not work. It has to be M$ Internet explorer. I think you need to allow pop up for this site. select all check boxes. after that, click orange color headphone icon which is right next to check box. Then pop up should come up and will download activex players and start playing. www.shadows.wall.net/features/sw-park1.htmthis is short director's interview. Eventhough it is short, it is insightful. Oldboy has elements of traditional cruelty thearter, Theater of Revenge, Meta theater and Greek tragedy. Honestly, it is very western(more european) rather than korean at its theme.
