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 it sets off is isolated from the world, so it runs counter to this, which is the biggest bug. Daxiu expresses the origin and development of some stories in a confessional way. This one directly uses unknown plots, scenes, and moods. fabricated news. Let the protagonist think about the development of the story. More suspenseful. Makes the final development even more unexpected. Foreigners always pay attention to details when making films. So is this one. This is very appreciated. Korean version. The film uses hypnosis as its theme and makes Daxiu make mistakes. In this film, the female protagonist peeped at the letter written by the male protagonist to her daughter, and she truly fell in love with her father. Hypnosis is too ethereal. This film is more practical and practical. It is possible for a girl without fatherly and motherly love to fall in love with the male protagonist when she sees the great fatherly love of the male protagonist. Follow the story again. Daxiu was incarcerated for 15 years, and he has relatives. only daughter. He also wanted revenge. So according to the thinking of a normal person, is it to see the only daughter or to seek revenge first? This is very important. The Korean version is mainly reflected in revenge and finding reasons. This film focuses on the father's love, struggle for his daughter, and revenge. rescue. Then the remake highlights the affection of human beings more. Look at the ending. The Korean version of the big show chose self-mutilation for her daughter at the end. Choose not to hurt. So he didn't look for it before? Is it too hasty? The remake makes up for that. Dae-soo finally sees her daughter. Even at this time his daughter still loves him. The male protagonist of this film is self atonement. Does it elevate the human soul even more? Make it more understandable for the audience. Some people say that the erotic scenes in this film are low-level. I don't think so, foreigners always focus on quality. They are so naked in order to better convey the sense of guilt. The Korean version cleverly avoided it, which also reduced the sin that shocked the heart a lot. . This is also the difference between China and the West. The Korean version wanted to be more artistic, and the director of this film wanted to be more humane. All in all, the Old Boys remake is a success. Purely personal opinion. . . Please be civilized

    First look at the US version. Aside from changing the original hypnotism to rationality, it's so mediocre that only the story remains.

    An adult thinks this movie is too strong in taste, of course, compared to the original version, this version weakens the love of taboo.
