In fact, I want to give one star, for the sake of Thanos, to give face
This is a good movie, at least the production is excellent, and the plot is well restored. I can't see any problem with a non-professional film critic like me.
However, I really want to give it one star.
Is this movie worth a remake? A movie that directly touches on this topic is a heavy viewing experience in itself. Although it is not as deep as the Korean version, and perhaps the darkest episodes of swallowing an octopus and cutting tongues in the original...

In literature, drama, and film, there is a well-known plot layout called the "chessmaster strategy". What it means is that two sides are fighting against each other, and one of them, like an extraordinary chess master, can accurately predict and guide the opponent's every move until the latter is in a dilemma on all sides. Obviously, this strategy is only possible when the rank of the layout is much higher than that of the entrants. This setting is very common in classical reasoning literature....

Just to show the evil of society and human nature
There seem to be several versions of the movie with this name. The one I watched was a remake of the Korean movie of the same name, and being able to be remade shows that the story is attractive to some extent.
It's a bit heavy. I think of Nicolas Cage's "8mm" and Pitt's "Seven Deadly Sins". After reading it, it's very uncomfortable. I don't understand why some directors are interested in abnormal crimes.
The story is quite appetizing. A middle-aged man was suddenly kidnapped and...

The remake was a success. The reason is as follows. Please be civilized
Watched both Old Boys. This improvement is huge. Personally think in terms of human nature. There are huge differences between China and the West. But the improvement was successful. A more subtle manifestation of human nature. The Korean version of the old boy is not very good in the arrangement of many scenes in the movie. For example, in the house where Daxiu is locked, there are transparent windows, and you can even see the scenery outside the window through the windows. And the background...

American old boy is quite satisfactory
"Old Boy" first had a Korean version, and ten years later it came out in the US. I watched the US version first. The American version of the narrative is quite satisfactory, the score is added, and the male protagonist's performance is still very high-level, maintaining the professional tradition of the Hollywood male star's rubber man body. The actor who plays the villain looks familiar to me, and after racking my brains for a long time, I can't think of it. Later, I checked the cast list and...

American remakes of Korean movies, the order is correct, that is, the father copied the son's homework. Han Ying has developed to the point where it is today, its momentum is fierce, and its performance is good, many of which are worth learning from domestic video and audio industry...

What a scum! Apart from the similarity of the story, the essence of the original version has not been absorbed at all. Although there is still a tribute set, it still cannot change the fact that it was badly shot. Park Chan-wook's style is the best part of the original version. Scum not to mention the favorite horizontal axis is a...

Chaney: OH! YOU BOOGER-EATING, PISS-DRINKING MOTHERFUCKER! If you stop now you may get out of here alive!
Joe Doucett: I'm gonna keep going till I can pull your head off with my bare hands! Okay?
Chaney: [frantic] Listen to me. LISTEN TO ME! I only run this place, all right? I was hired to keep you here!
Joe Doucett: Who hired you?
Chaney: I can't tell you that!
Joe Doucett: Then do me a favor and shut the fuck up! Who hired you?
Chaney: I don't know his fuckin' name!
