60 of 261 · most liked firstThirst Did you know that the director of Oldboy made a movie about a catholic priest who gets infected by vampirism, feeds off of comatose hospital patients, falls in love with his childhood friend's wife, and it all goes completely off the rails from there? Well, now you do, so you gotta see it!

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Frame Study from 2021, ref frame is from Oldboy (2003), i picked the frame for this one, one of my fav movies :)
positive · AI labelView post →Podcast where I review films based on how integral the sex scenes are to the plot. Weapons: 0/10 (you can cut the sex scene and the movie still works) Oldboy: 10/10 (sex scene is important for the ending to work) A Bug's Life: 0/10 (no sex scene)
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm tempted to watch the American remake of 'Solaris' in the same way I'm temped to watch the American remake of 'Oldboy'....a perverse impulse to see how badly Hollywood can miss the entire point of a movie 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →this is why one of my favorite action/fight scenes of all time is the hallway scene in OLDBOY. the movie establishes he’s not super human, he’s just tough and crazy, and then he fights his way through like 15 people armed with a claw hammer because he’s tough, but mostly because he’s fucking crazy
positive · AI labelView post →For anyone wanting to understand the Oldboy reference in the 2.0 trailer, but on the fence about watching the whole movie, here is the specific scene they're quoting! It's the most iconic sequence from the film. It is violent, but it's tame relative to everything else lmao youtu.be/gvQ7Z6ZCxTc?...
neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of OLDBOY boxd.it/bLSiXJ Surrealism & Greek tragedy meet for experience both brutally violent & psychologically punishing. Intricate mystery meets action-packed revenge fantasy. Not an easy film, but worth it for sheer originality & gutsy lead performance. Powerful. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →Oldboy (2003) Rerelease. Just watched Oldboy for the first time as part of the 20th anniversary remaster. What a wild ride; so much goofier and fun than I expected. Several years ago I bounced off *The Matrix* pretty hard (due largely to “Seinfeld is Unfunny” syndrome) so I was worried this had enough cultural footprint to go the same way since I had seen the octopus and hallway fight scenes before; but by no means was that the case. Somehow I’ve managed all these years to have nothing…

neutral · AI labelView post →Late to this but while I had heard a lot about Oldboy, what I took from what I heard was almost all wrong. I was expecting John Woo or a Taken movie. I had no idea it was so beautiful or funny. Littered with subtle and overt jokes throughout and stunningly creative. Wish I'd listened better!

neutral · AI labelView post →I had chills watching this film. Some of the actors are familiar (Oldboy) but the director is new to me, and I will be looking for some of his other films! This film was original, and surprising. Be careful exhuming the dead, its not good for your health. ⚰️ #FilmSky #Horror #Korean #Occult #Kanopy

positive · AI labelView post →Somebody with better film history knowledge than me tell me what action movie was the first to do a hallway fight scene. You know what I mean, The Raid, Oldboy, Daredevil, etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Park Chan-wook’s film Oldboy, which is a favorite of mine, is actually a manga adaptation, and I do really love both Castlevania shows. In the other direction, Science SARU’s Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was a lot of fun and really sets itself apart from the source material and Edgar Wright film.
positive · AI labelView post →Chinatown. 1974. An homage to Film Noir, the setting is 1937 Los Angeles — where ‘who controls the water controls LA.’ Twists & turns aplenty, and the big plot twist is at Oldboy levels of heinous. Remarkable film that earned itself 8 Oscar nominations [it was up against The Godfather II] #Filmsky
