know it's impossible

This movie is so powerful.
In the past, when I watched Korean films, most of them were feminine third-level films, such as "Youth", "Green Chair" and "The Lover" circulating on the Internet. Not long ago, I saw an "Ice Popsicle", and I also found it refreshing and gratifying. "Old Boy" is a big accident. The style is deviant, surly, black, the story is step by step, the picture is shocking, the editing is sharp, the performance is described as superb, and the hero Wu Daxiu is on the verge of collapse from beginning to end. "Old Boy" is by far the most stylized Korean movie I've ever seen. Choi Min-sik is also the most talented Korean actor I have ever seen, and it is not an exaggeration to praise him for his perfection.
The thriller and suspense of the film runs through, but unfortunately Wu Daxiu's explanation with Mei Dao looking for his daughter after getting out of trouble is a little vague, and I already doubt it. Later, the love between Wu Daxiu and Mei Dao happened, Li Xiuzhen said to herself, do you think Wu Daxiu really fell in love with Mei Dao? I'm finally sure. Therefore, when the album revealed the truth, the impact was less, but it was still a shock to the soul. Later, Wu Daxiu knelt on the ground and begged Li Xiuzhen, kowtowed, learned how to bark, and finally cut off his tongue. Choi Minzhi's performance called "fantastic" was like a nightmare.
But I have some doubts. "Isabella" was also filmed on a similar theme, and even the trap designed by her daughter Liang Luoshi for her father Du Wenze, but the filming was very warm. It stands to reason that China should be more conservative in this regard. Is Wu Daxiu's nightmare a bit over?
When the elevator door was closed, Li Xiuzhen said: My sister and I love each other even though we know we can't, can you?

    Angrily narrate. A few literary works. Everyone’s brains are abnormal, suicide is abnormal, and revenge is abnormal. Isn't it good for the boss to fight with the protagonist? It is pitiful to be naive to play IQ with a stupid person. Summary: Illness, rubbish, and mystery. It took two hours of my life, and when I recalled, I felt like vomiting.

    The patchwork of cool elements + a large number of motto-like lines can't cover up poverty, and the plot is about the same level as the picture of Wuji and Fuchun Mountain. If it wasn't for the actors' acting too hard, would this story have such a high score? Incest can work, you don't have to die if you kill the man with the long tongue earlier. Focusing on revenge for fifteen years, this is not enough love and hatred not enough eagerness. I want to say that as long as you love each other, you are right. It's a bit brain-dead, and it's not a MV for Xiaosi.

Oldboy quotes

  • Dae-su Oh: If by any chance Mido should find out the truth, you son of a bitch, I'm going to rip you limb from limb. And your remains will never be found. Why? Because I'm going to swallow every last bit.

  • Dae-su Oh: [Dae Su is on his knees. Begging] Please. Don't tell Mido. What has she done wrong? You know it was all my fault... I have committed an unforgivable sin, against your sister. And I also... Did you wrong. Please leave Mido alone... If by any chance Mido finds out the truth, you son of a bitch, I'll tear you limb from limb. And your remains will never be found. Why? Because I'm going to swallow every last bit.

    [singing]

    Dae-su Oh: With the energy of a green pine tree/The Great Sangnok High...

    [Grabbing hold of Woo-Jin's leg. Begging, and weeping]

    Dae-su Oh: I'll do whatever you want. I'll do anything, I beg you. Woo-Jin, if you want me to be your dog. I will. From this moment on, I am Woo-Jin's dog. I'm your bitch.

    [Starts barking maniacally like a dog]

    Dae-su Oh: Look, I'm wagging my tail. I'm a dog, I'll guard your house. I'll be your slave...
