Finally got time tonight to watch the Hollywood version of the original criminal: Oldboy. I saw a roadside poster before, but in the end the movie was not released locally, and now even the Blu-ray version has been released. I also think that if this drama is to be released locally, a lot of scenes should be deleted. It is better to download it and watch it. Next, there will be serious spoilers, please take care of yourself.
The Hollywood version of the synopsis is inseparable from the original, but some details and key plots have been changed. It is reasonable to say that these details are not important, but after reading it carefully, you will feel that this detail has an impact on the behavior of the rich avenger. The influence is not convincing enough. In the original book, the avenger was smashed by the protagonist because of incest with his sister and then spread out. The sister finally couldn't stand the pressure and committed suicide, causing great harm to the avenger who loved her dearly; in the Hollywood version, the father of the avenger and his sister were also accused of incest. The protagonist crashed and rumors were flying all over the sky. His father later killed his daughter, wife, and son before committing suicide to escape the pressure of speech. However, the avenger who was his son was unexpectedly unable to die. It took the billionaire more than two decades to orchestrate this revenge drama to avenge his family's deep revenge.
I feel that this arrangement is not convincing. My beloved sister is forced to death by rumors. It is more convincing than my father who made a mistake and incest with his sister and then was forced to die by rumors. No matter how you look at it, the reason for the former is more convincing... The protagonist finally knows the truth. The female partner he just fucked turned out to be his real daughter, and the acting skills at those levels were also very superficial, so in the final story, he didn't arrange for him to cut his tongue, right? The Avengers seemed satisfied with the ending, so they immediately hung up. The protagonist and his female companion (also a daughter) cut off communication and lived in the previous cell in order to atone for their sins... It ended like this... There is a great distance from the impact of the original book.
The scene where the protagonist singled out everyone in the cell in the middle is very exciting, but it is also not convincing. He is watching TV in the cell and practicing martial arts by himself without even a single actual combat experience. Of course, the whole film is quite exciting and fascinating, and deserves more than four stars, but it is inevitable to compare more than the original.
