Welcome my fellow lovers of dark and murky movies! How are you? I sincerely hope very well, because today, we are going to talk about a classic of Korean cinema, Oldboy, released in 2003 and considered by many as a true work of cult and admiration, among which I can include myself, I tell you in advance, is a film that I would recommend to anyone looking for a dark story, focused on revenge, with plot twists that leave you with your mouth open, and with a somewhat ambiguous ending but the table is set for debate among its fans, let's start to see why Oldboy is such an acclaimed work!
Argumento Principal
Main Argument
Las cosas se podrán mucho más interesantes en el momento en el que el antiguo secuestrador del protagonista le hace llegar un teléfono y una cartera con dinero a Oh Dae-su, este decide ir a comer a un restaurante cercano pero en breve recibe una llamada de quien se acredita su secuestro, Oh Dae-su se queda en Shock por momentos, pero intenta entre gritos identificar al misterioso personaje que en un tono que varia entre la soberbia y la burla, le pide que guarde cierta frase consigo y que se pregunte mejor el porque de las cosas en vez de la identidad de aquel que lo secuestro cerrando la llamada y dejándonos a un Oh Dae-su desconsolado, a punto de ahogarse con un pulpo vivo mientras comía, pero que es salvado por la chica del restaurante, que mostró cierto interés tanto en la conversación como en el propio Oh Dae-su, sirviéndonos así, el misterio, la intriga y la creciente sed de venganza.
Things become much more interesting at the moment when the former kidnapper of the protagonist sends Oh Dae-su a phone and a wallet with money, he decides to go to eat at a nearby restaurant but soon receives a call from the person who is credited with his kidnapping, Oh Dae-su is shocked at times, but tries to identify the mysterious character in a tone that varies between arrogance and mockery, asks him to keep a certain phrase with him and to ask himself better why things happen instead of the identity of the one who kidnapped him, closing the call and leaving us with a heartbroken Oh Dae-su, about to choke on a live octopus while eating, but who is saved by the restaurant girl, who showed some interest in both the conversation and in Oh Dae-su himself, thus serving us the mystery, the intrigue and the growing thirst for revenge.
El esplendor de una historia con giros argumentales
The splendor of a story with plot twists
To me, the phrase My life is just a bigger prison fits perfectly with how the movie feels from the moment Oh Dae-su is released from his confinement, always guided by his thirst for answers and revenge, but never in complete control or able to take the one who captured him by surprise, who watches his every step and who in almost every moment, will show absolute confidence, if not arrogance, towards Oh-Dae-Su. Something I loved is how every conclusion is completely justified, making the story believable, however crazy the fight scenes might be at times.
Supero mis expectativas
Exceeded my expectations
Decir que Oldboy me gusto seria quedarse corto la verdad, esta película supo superar mis expectativas, aun cuando tenia entendido de que era un filme de bastante aceptación en general, nunca me espere el final hasta que fue demasiado tarde y aunque ya se sabia que algo sucedería o que alguna sorpresa tenia que guardar el final para justificar los hechos, creo que nadie que la haya visto por primera vez se lo veía venir, y es que hay que ser demasiado retorcido para pensarlo en un principio, por si quedan dudas se las recomiendo, sobretodo si están en búsqueda de una historia que sea turbia pero que tenga la capacidad de entregarte algo más que solo entretenimiento del que te olvidaras despues, Aprobado por Franzz mis panas, no se la pierdan.
To say that I liked Oldboy would be an understatement, this film exceeded my expectations, even though I had understood that it was a film of great acceptance in general, I never expected the end until it was too late and although I knew that something would happen or some surprise I had to save the end to justify the facts, I don't think anyone who has seen it for the first time saw it coming, and you have to be too twisted to think about it at first, in case there are any doubts I recommend it, especially if you are looking for a story that is murky but has the ability to give you something more than just entertainment that you will forget about later, Approved by Franzz my friends, don't miss it.
