The style of "Old Boy" and Spike Lee's consistent handling of this subject have received a lot of praise, but these praises are not salty. Although the predecessor is already strong enough, the blood and darkness of the film still impressed the audience. If Park Chan-wook’s original work is a surgeon with good skills but no soul, then Spike’s remake is a self-entertaining instigator who does not reveal the truth until the last minute. The whole movie is not lacking in truth, but compared with the original, it lacks a spiritual climax and chooses a completely different narrative method. Spike is guilty of choice in the sense of cinema and the depth of the theme, so there are many themes in the film that have not been explored. This is also the reason why this movie fell short
