"Old Boy" begins with a "pseudo-climax" narrative, together with Cui Min-sik, who is constantly jumping around, injecting the film into intensity. When it reappears, it is dispelled in the change of the subject's perspective and the context of the film.

Confused with the Confess whisper of the Catholic "Sin and Redemption" nature, as well as many noir films with "new" media consciousness such as mobile phone ringtones, video games, and online chat rooms. This dark sublime is different from Quentin's plasma and nostalgia. "Old Boy" is more like a collection of Ferrara and Cronenberg. The two extreme and contradictory concepts of the body, which appeal to the destruction of the body and the horizontal-axis shot of the "clear version of the game", meet in this film.
