[already watched before]
Another amazing experience watching Oldboy. Even better this time. Me, Jéssica, Fellype, his wife and a friend of ours got together to watch it two Saturdays ago (sorry for the delay in posting about it, folks). It's such a well crafted film, in terms of adaptation, plotline sequence, the way the story unfolds, and the ultimate drama being put into action. Oldboy is a masterpiece of contemporary Far Eastern cinema. You watch it and you feel the visceral fury in the actions of the two vengeful characters (Oh Dae-Su and Lee Woo-jin); a contrast in terms of protagonist-antagonist duality. Both of them are protagonists and antagonists. Dae-Su is a tormented man, but pursued by a disgraceful past of which he's not aware due to the foolish disregard of his acts in the past. Lee Woo-jin is a man who holds a sense of revenge older than Dae-Su's, and seeks his ultimate vendetta by using a game of interests against the latter, which turns out constructing an ending that deserves to be kept in secret (even from this blogger, who doesn't usually care about spoiling endings and plot twists if need be). I prefer to leave you to the psychological abyss of Oldboy's plotline. Vengeace is treacherous and vindictive in itself in this film. A two-way road whose arduous paths lead to only one destination: desolation.
