Hey! Hope you enjoyed this review. I'm streaming some games on twitch right now if anyone wants to say hi. www.Twitch.tv/AdumPlaze
Can I say hi here?
Hi big man
Sit on my face daddy!
Worth the wait!
hi
I'm going to get a degree in film school and make a shit remake of "Do the Right Thing" just so Spike Lee knows how it feels. Vengeance is a part of me now.
@Geralt of Trivia Yes but after my shitty remake I will purposely make award winning films afterward. So when I become famous, people will ask me "hey what was up with your one shitty Spike Lee movie reboot" and I'll say " Spike Lee had it coming". My entire career will be for this purpose, so after that I will retire and watch the sun set upon a grateful universe.
It's a solid plan except I think it would probably be wise to do the award winning stuff first, so that the remake doesn't kill your career.
@@myworldinvideos It appears you have created a 15+ year prison for all of us. Do us proud.
@@heyyitsultima it will be just like that movie Old Boy
The one by that Spike Lee guy?
The whole point of Dae-su cutting his tongue out at the end was to show that he was apologizing for "talking too much." The form of self-sacrifice he chose was actually relevant to the crime that he was being accused of, and that's why Joo-win was moved to spare Mido. Joe just imprisoning himself for no reason cause he feels bad is so dumb.
Also he said he would be Joo-win's dog to save her, so it could be connected to that as well.
Anyways I never thought of that connection! Thank you for enlightening me
Also mirroring Oedipus doing the same to his eyes after realizing his incestuous ways.
Totally agree! But just a nitpick not intending of being a dick, but he's Woo-jin, his name is Lee Woo-jin..
@@nico.f. The director said that Oh Dae-su is actually a play with the name Oedipus, so you're pretty right.
Woaah
Reinterpretation?
More like misinterpretation.
Got 'em.
@@Cynicayke HAH
FATHA!
@Maggie Watson , how it is appropriation? Just because it's a movie from another country? (With MODERN, global elements.)
Troin Shotgun blast!
I also really like that in the original Oldboy the guy taking revenge makes sure to keep Oh Dae-su alive, keep him healthy, keep him satisfied while on his quest for revenge(Paying the guy off to not attack Oh Dae-su, severing and giving him the hand of the guy he wanted to take to give him what he wants, etc). He's playing by the rules he set, he's being fair. Sure he was a horrible despicable person for doing that to someone in the first place and ruining a guy's life, but at the very least he has a set of principles he follows and sticks to, and is a respectable villain. That's compelling, that's a damn good villain.
That is part of why I consider him one of the greatest villians of cinema. Just imagine how much of a mindfuck it would be to have someone both trying to destroy your life and also giving you money and the things you want..?
I Saw the Devil is sort of similar, just with the roles of "hero" and "villain" reversed. Also a great movie with Choi Min-sik
The sad part about the hammer fight in the remake is that it’s completely divorced of context. In the original the reason it’s a total melee is because guns are very scarce in South Korea so thugs would just have whatever they can find. In America those thugs would absolutely have guns but it’s Oldboy so gotta have a hammer fight I guess. Same with the dumplings. Not only does this movie not give a shit but it’s actively not trying to localize and innovate on the original.
Also part of it is, I assume, due to the tight quarters. Oldboy 2013 was not only in America but not cramped enough to warrant too much fear of shooting off firearms
The director should of had the main character use a gun an kill a bunch of them John wick style.
@@lethalcontact365 that would be cool but wouldn't really make sense for the character. I just wish they had been more innovative and tried to make it feel more American, not just look it.
@@TheHutcharmy they should of had it as the main character being a marine that is a alcohol and a bum an for the the American version of a hall way fight they would of had him shooting at gangster with a shotgun after being ambushed by them after the torture season.
@@hydras5947 then the solution is to have fewer, more spread out thugs armed with guns.
The poster of the "re-interpretation" is hilarious! I mean, the guy just seems like he is a child in a cardboard box and saying "I am in the best car of the world, I am speed"
It's like he's thinking "where the hell did my dude bros ditch me his time?"
It looks like someone popped open a box of air-dropped agent 41 's
The guy looks like he was transported through magical means inside this box into some different world or something.
Like Alice in the Wonderland but the protagonist is older angry guy who is going to kick some ass.
KACHOOW
Looks like he's saying "aight imma head out"
"First he shows up and cancels Mr. Robot."
ADAM.
Oh my God! He killed Kenny!
rip Freddy Mercury
MR ROBOT had an infinity stone in his head.
@@dooooooook3610 Another one bites the dust.
in every interview spike lee did for this movie he literally looks like he's about to fall asleep lmao
he looks ashamed...as he should be.
That's how I felt watching that god-awful movie.
The dumpling that they use in the korea version is a type of dumpling that you often get as a side-dish when ordering delivery food. So it implies that the character is probably eating a side-dish of someone else’s main dish for fifteen years. Just an extra info dump,
So what your saying is in the remake, they should’ve given him nothing but mozzarella sticks, or onion rings, or something?
@@goORIOLES236 doesn't have to be the exact equivalent, but it would have been nice if they kept the kind of foods as effortless as the original one
Brian Tully think italian seasoned breadsticks
That added another layer of depth to it, thanks so much for sharing!
@@goORIOLES236 lol that's funny~
Oldboy (2003)
Budget: $3 million
Money earned: $15 million
Oldboy (2013)
Budget: $30 million
Money earned: $4.8 million
Oof
@Botond Hetyey Me too. Fuck the good majority of those terrible pandering and patronizing US American film remakes of classic foreign films.
Oofed indeed
Justice does smile occasionally!
I didnt know that. Ha ha
Fuck u Spike lee for making this shlock film.
@@amberbaum4079 New money for old rope. I would love to see hollwood go bust because they cannot make any decent films any more
As someone who just saw the original, it’s so funny seeing how little style there is in literally every aspect of the remake. From the direction, the color choices, the sets, the costumes, the camera work, the music, literally every aspect of the original films style was striped away. It genuinely feels like Spike Lee was forced to make this movie, so he just phoned everything in.
It's crazy right!? The lack of artistic vision in a literal sense is kinda nuts. Just the opening itself is like... what?? He's not captive at the police station, he's not talking to the camera, he doesn't seem to love his daughter at all. He's like... just an asshole. There's so little symbolism in the visuals except the most childish and obvious like the umbrella. And even that could have been really cool if they actually made the effort to make a custom umbrella prop that hides the hash marks until you look more closely but NOPE. Looks like they whipped it up on set that very day.
"first he comes up and cancels Mr Robot"
I couldn't stop laughing
I'll be honest, when a content creator says to go check out film before watching their review, usually I'll ignore it. This time, however, I decided to go watch the original before finishing the video and it was the best decision I've made all day. There are so many aspects of the film, including, but not limited to the twist at the end, that I'm glad I was able to experience for myself. Coming back to this review after watching the movie, I'm just now realizing that there is a ton of foreshadowing that I didn't pick up on the first time watching. To anyone reading this, if the review wasn't enough of a recommendation to watch the original Old Boy, take it from me, this isn't one you want to miss.
Same as me dude, so happy I saw it
I did the same thing. Unbelievably amazing movie.
Jackson Brown I kind of regret not watching the movie before this review. At least I can do my second favorite thing which is show OTHER people the movie for the first time.
Me and my friends saw the original Oldboy (subtitled) and absolutely loved it. Did not watch the Hollywood remake based on the trailer...and wow am i glad i didn't watch it.
Jackson Brown wow, I had the exact same experience! saw the movie before the review and also noticed that I missed som details the first time I saw it which just made the movie so much better 😊
Spike Lee: names his company “40 Acres and a Mule” to evoke the mistreatment of former slaves in America and how they were tricked into fighting in the army with promises of rewards, but were given basically nothing in the end and had their humanity denied.
Also Spike Lee: Tricks someone into doing tons of work for him with promises of reward, but gives him basically nothing in the end and then denies his existence.
*Palpatine quote*
It's always those that preach the loudest.
AND HE PUTS THE 40 ACRES AND A MULE BIT ON THE POSTER WHILE DOING THAT SHIT OHMYGOD
Yeah, not a huge fan spike lee films Ngl I thought Malcom X was pretty good though.
It's ok, he did it to a white guy so it's not evil
@@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816 ah yes, Jaun Luis Garcia, the white man
Original Oldboy torture scene: *appropriate torture sounds *
Samuel L Jackson: No! No! No! No! Please! Please do not torture me because torture is painful and pain hurts and I don’t want to hurt because pain is hurtful! I like being comfortable and pain is uncomfortable and it hurts too and I don’t want to hurt! No! No! No!
My thoughts exactly! God, I think I was in more pain watching that samuel L Jackson scene, and making more appropriate pain noises, than SLJ was. Its just an embarrassment.
I'm laughing my ass off at this comment holy shit thank you 😂
😂
"oh god! i need to curse! i must say vulgar words because that is what i, famous hollywood actor samuel leroy jackson am known for!"
You forgot to call him a "meatbag", Mr. HK-47!
"Its like they completely missed the point" that describes the whole movie
That describes the entire Hollywood filmography of the past 30 years. From comics, to books, to foreign movies, to video games, they always seem to miss the point prefering to bastardize the source material just to fit what the producers think the crowds want.
You need a spinoff series called Your Movie Is Awesome and talk about more brilliant films! Really enjoyed hearing you talk about the original.
EspressoMuseum
There's already something like that, his series on Synecdoche New York and the "Top ten films from 3 years ago" videos
An actual YMR (Your Movie Rocks) channel would be better. I could listen to him enthusiastically dissect a movie he adores all day. Considering there's a replay button I probably will.
EspressoMuseum i agree!! 😃
moonymonster same here. I honestly wasn’t interested in watching this movie until now. I would absolutely love to watch more in depth “recommendations”.
Agreed. Adam's reviews are always good but I find inherent negativity and cynicism incredibly draining. Hearing him gush about great movies would be a welcome break from the norm.
The woman in the interview who says “Crazy, but a better person!” has always been the funniest part of this review for me. It’s such a braindead take on the plot of the movie, and her delivery is just pure gold lmao.
If the remake wasn't so terrible Adam wouldn't have made a video comparing the two films and i wouldn't have watched the original, so in a way some good did come from the remake.
xxAnaconta Even though these 2 films are more well made than Oldboy 2013, The Ring and The Grudge had a more positive impact on introducing J-horror to mainstream american audiences, with Samara/Sadako, Kayako and Toshio becoming horror icons in america like Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, etc. People remember the cursed tape, Samara crawling out of the TV, the “seven days” quote was memed to death, Kayako’s death rattle and contorted crawling body still scare people today. Hopefully this video gets enough views to give the original Oldboy more attention (I’ve never heard of it or the remake until I watched this video, Oldboy looks brilliant).
@Troin What are you talking about, Oldboy (as well as the rest of the revenge trilogy) is a Korean psychological thriller, what does Japanese horror have to do with this. And what's the point of the introduction when your average consumer doesn't even know what the plot of The Grudge is since it has almost no memes compared to The Ring
>Hopefully this video gets enough views to give the original Oldboy more attention
Dude, it's hailed as the single greatest piece of Korean cinema, just because you didn't know it doesn't mean that it suffers from lack of attention
@@anneelk9066 I think the point being that those movies were more successful, by way of being better made than Oldboy (2013), of exposing the west to their respective genres.
@@luckygitane But again, what's the point if the way most Americans engage with asian horror boils down to posting The Ring memes? And those who are actually interested in these films likely didn't start with The Grudge remake
"And then he cancels mr robot." Lmao
That was the funniest shit lol
That was the scariest part.
Zombies Expert3 Josh clearly was disappointed with Rami winning the Golden Globe for Bohemian Rhapsody, he put it through his dome
He was just looking for somebody to looooooooooooooove
Rami should have played the villain
Lee Woo-Jin: _"Remember this: "Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as one and the same."_
Adrian: *"FATHER!"* 💥
I'm just replying so you can see how much likes you got
*shotgun blast*
"Fatha!" *Gunshot* is a good meme.
Makes me laugh so fucking loud
FATHA !
I read your comment before i watched the video but once he said it, it clicked!!! LMAO!!!
"that's how ringtones work" to be fair he'd been locked up for 20 years and phones in 1993 didn't have ringtones
this is a valid point
While it is a valid point, I honestly doubt the movie thought that much about it
Phones in 1993 didn't ring?
The thing about Woo Jin is that, as Adam points out, if you forget about the fact that the girl was his sister, you can kinda almost sympathize with him. I mean, yes, that's obviously a pretty big fucking thing to overlook, but the point is that if you took the incest out of the equation you can kinda understand his point of view. Whereas in the American version, you literally can't take the incest out of the equation because it's no longer a story of two people the same age who love each other, it's a story of a grown man fucking his underage children and eventually trying to murder them. The idea that you could ever remotely empathize with this villain, even on a "he's still a psycho but I kinda get why he's upset" level, is just ludicrous.
I thought the villain was the dads kid though. Am I just stupid?
Woo-jin was a compelling villain because he is basically the protagonist of his own revenge story, from his persepctive Dae-su seems like the one who caused his sister's death and ruined Woo-jin's life, we the audience only think differently because the story is told from the persepctive of Dae-su. Really Woo-jin did nothing to deserve what happened, yea he slept with his sister but it was a mutually consensual relationship where they both loved each other, it's not even comparable to Spike Lee's version.
To add to the idea of it being more believable that Oh Dae-su would be proficient in some sort of fighting is that they have conscription in South Korea, with his age he would have certainly completed that before he was locked away and I believe the camo he is wearing before he leave for soul in the flash back might be an indication that he is going to do it then, this would also advance the fact of him having no clue that the guys sister commited suicide as he and people he knew would be away in the armed forces. It is quite impressive how everything in Oldboy 2003 is interconnected.
As a korean who had to serve the military. It was a joke. In korea conscription is a way government uses to exploit young people. Nothing more.
@@fart_m0nster_420 well that's just bullshit
that doesn't really work seeing how all those men would also have had the same training
@@thebiggamers999 I know this was ages ago I'd just seen it, but not every goes at the same time and they were quite young so less likely to have done training.
I like how the remake villain reveals its all like a hidden camera show
And not even a good hidden camera show. He's like the incest loving, annoyingly British version of Kraft Punk from The Eric Andre Show.
@@tjenadonn6158 😂
Joe: *kills body guard to get to villain*
Adrian: IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO!
This is the part where the cameras come out.....
...and .... I say you got FUCKing TROOOOLLLLLLLED OOOOOOOOH
Not gonna lie this remake of One Day At Horrorland is terrible
"ok let´s get back to the remake and...."
NOOOOOOOO
So because of this video I watched the original Oldboy and... wow, just wow. You weren't exaggerating at all.
The twist at the end might be one of the best in cinematic history. It COMPLETELY flips who's the one getting revenge in such a fucked up yet sensible way. Like my head is still spinning from it.
Thank you, YMS. Truly. I don't even want to watch the remake with how bad it sounds.
The original Oldboy is a gateway and introduces people to the great world of south korean cinema. Try giving parasite, the host, memories of murder and the other two movies of Park chan wook's vengeance trilogy a watch
Watch The Handmaiden, the director's most recent film. It's magnificent.
Honestly I hadn't seen or really heard of this or the remake of it, I stopped part way through to go watch the actual movie, well worth it! Thanks YMS!
Watch train to busan
A more obscure yet equally beloved film in korea is New World. Most international fans of korean films don't tend to hear about this film but it is a Crime/Gangster film that is really famous in Korea. Another recommendation I'd make is 'The Man from Nowhere' which is like the Korean version of John Wick (even though it was made in 2010). Both are equally great films and Choi Min Shik (The actor from Old Boy) even appears in New World.
46:18 - This moment of the guy screaming with a hammer in his head lasts for JUST long enough that it stops being disturbing and instead becomes hilarious.
Never has Thanos axing Freddie Mercury in the head been so hilarious.
Noctis !₩!
I loved ff15 have 300 h
I don't think we would even scream after that hit
You'd think he would be in a tremendous amount of shock/pain and thus unable to vocalize in such a comedic manner. It is still funny, don't get me wrong.
46:15 "first he shows up and cancels Mr.Robot" I died, laughed and then died some more.
I never watched the remake because I don't hate myself but that "Father!" 1:18:24 scene just made me laugh for 10 minutes straight, no bullshit.
It´s freaking hilarious. I saw this when it came out, and I had completely forgotten about that scene. I´m dying.
Father!
You have to watch that shit in context. The way Adum describes it and shows it in this video is effective enough as to give you an idea, but "living" through it, with the build up the movie provides for it, feeling how much the movie "thinks" it's a powerful scene, emotional and charged with tension... it's going to be one of the best laughs you'll ever get.
@@999SickBoy666 I absolutely second this. That shit was amazing.
lmao same here
Quick Story:
So, I kept getting recommended this video periodically for several months, but I kept dismissing it. At the time, I hadn't watched very many videos by YMS, so a 1.5 hour long video by him didn't sound too appealing.
Finally, a few weeks ago, I gave in and started watching this video at around midnight. However, only 20 minutes in, Adum was able to convince me to actually stop watching his review to go watch the original Oldboy film.
I did so with an eyeroll.
I was intrigued enough, and I've seen plenty of foreign films, so I wasn't entirely against it. That being said, I didn't realize how long the movie was.
Several hours later, I'm contemplating one of the best plot twists of all time. I start thinking about how well everything was done in that film. My mind was genuinely blown.
However, it's late at night, and I have nobody to discuss this movie with.
Reluctantly, I come back to the review, and I pick up right where I left off.
To reiterate, at about four or five in the morning, I'm sitting there contemplating so much: All of the connecting plot-points throughout, the masterclass of cinematography, the genuinely believable acting, the impressive and fun fight scenes, the gut-wrenching twist, and the bittersweet ending.
All of this immediately followed up by Adum's high praise of the film I had just come to admire, alongside the scathing review of the remake that I was glad to have never seen.
It all resonated with me in a way that seemed almost ethereal. So much so, that I find it hard to describe.
I say all of this to say:
How dare you *Adum?*
How dare you make me spend 3-4 hours *feeling emotions* instead of getting sleep?
Absolutely despicable.
Dude are you me? I am literally feeling the same way at 5 in the morning.
@@salty898 I'm you from the future, lol.
Ngl it took me over a year to watch this review lol. When this video first game out and I reached to the part where Adum said that watching the original Oldboy is highly recommended, I couldn’t push myself to stop watching the hour and a half long review just to watch the film itself. But fast forward a year and a half later, here I am praising Adum for recommending to watch the film before the review, cos honestly I was contemplating on watching the review first, but boy am I super glad that I actually took the time to watch Oldboy as I’m yet still left stunned by that crazy unexpected twist in the end. No one could’ve seen that coming, the film is a cinematic masterpiece. I also got the chance to watch the new Oldboy, which has soo many flaws compared to the original. Like the motives for the bad guy don’t make any sense; what the fuck did you expect from your father fucking your sister in school grounds lmaoo. Regardless, Oldboy is always gonna be on my top 5 most reputable films. Can’t wait to be annoying the fuck out of people by beckoning them to watch it.
damn it’s been a year?
I am literally having that experience right now! Hope you got some sleep though :)
Whenever the video cut back to the American version of the film I got angry because I didn't care; I was too invested in the original
Of course, the textbook FIVE TYPES OF BEHAVIOR: "Angry, Rage, Sad, Lonely, Alone." Thank you, Josh Brolin, for the amazing performance.
Spike lee will do to the reinterpretation what Jaws did to the ocean
It is so amazing how the actors basically were dropping hints about how shitty they thought it was going to be in their interviews; haha.
Elizebeth olsen did make a good point about the remake being pointless if there nothing to improve though
@@Galvatronover Olsen likely accepted the role for better publicity, as she was still kinda obscure at the time, in her sisters' shadows and not Scarlet Witch yet. Totally understandable.
I don't understand why someone like Josh Brolin agreed to this...
@@tiaaaron3278 probably to work with spike lee
@@murciadoxial8056 å
@@zwan1886 The thing people forget about actors who star in bad movies is the fact that a jobs a job. They don’t always have complete say in the direction of where the film will go or just because they’re in it dont mean it reflects their true feelings or views about it etc.
I feel like most people who have worked before to do literally anything might understand this a little better though. Sometimes a job’s just a job and you have to do what you have to do, and you’re not always gonna like what you do, but someones gotta do it.
That doesn’t always inherently mean that the actor is a stupid idiot for being in a stupid film
The original is one of my favourite movies of all time. This film is absolutely ghastly
It was Spike Lee making a movie NOT about marginalized black people, of course it was going to be mediocre or awful.
@@everettvonscott That makes me wonder, why not just make it about marginalized black people then? Really tho, he can't need the money at this point, he's gotta be loaded by now, right?
The thing that I find frustrating about this is that as a base concept, _Oldboy_ (the original film of which happens to be my favorite movie) has an interesting hook that could be taken in essentially limitless directions... A man is imprisoned for years and suddenly set free. There's such a great mystery there, and you could build countless stories around that setup. So in theory, I don't have a problem with another _Oldboy_ being made. Just as the South Korean film was pretty different from the original Manga, a remake should be pretty different from the South Korean film. But they just did the worst possible thing with it... a watered-down shot-for-shot remake.
If I was the lead producer working on this movie, my goal wouldn't have been "Let's just do a hacky, shitty shot-for-shot remake." My goal would have been "Let's just take the basic set-up... and see just how unique and creative a story we could build off of that setup." I mean, sure, you could throw some nods and references in for fans (maybe a single-shot fight, or similar iconography in key scenes), but make the bulk of it totally unique.
I actually paused at 5min and watched Oldboy.
Holy shit, I wasn't prepared for how disappointing the Spike Lee version is.
I just noticed the fake adoptive family on the "mysteries of crime" show made for him in the motel prison, are called Roos.
You know, as in a ruse.
Brilliant writing, definitely not absolutely stupid to call the fake family Mr and Mrs We Are Made Up
To be fair, Roos is a genuine German surname iirc 🤔
34:59 Poor actor... he is a Buddhist and they kept making him eat a new live octopus every take... and every take he would pray in thanks to the octopus for giving it's life for the film... you'd think the director would try his best to get it in one take...
yeah... that's a bit fucked up.... I mean, it's a great scene and a great piece of art... but do we really have to kill an animal for it.... or multiple ones?
@@UnicornStorm Especially considering Octopi are rather intelligent.
@@jadenkarpoff9158 that’s something that people only really started to appreciate after 2003. even then, octopi and squid are still used in seafood dishes all over the world today.
Octopus are ugly so I'm fine with that.
“On behalf of the octopus community, I thank you for thanking me before eating me alive. Most of my family was eaten by sharks, and those guys aren’t nearly as considerate. It really means the world to me, like totally makes a difference.”
53:48 Look at that extra in red...
Holy shit I haven't laughed like that in a long time, thanks!
Bahahaha
He's clearly doing some kind of dance to intimidate the enemy
HAHAHAHA
ahahah, now that's some psyching up before the fight:)
Every time I watch this video, the part where Sam Jackson just repeats everything on the phone drives me bonkers.
Wait, what did Josh Brolin’s character even do? Like, why does the villain hate him? Also, Spike Lee is a scumbag
He saw a professor and his daughter fucking, and word got out, even though, like Adam said, it was their own fault. They were out in the open where anyone could have found them. 1:09:24
The villain blames him for the death of his family, plus like Adam said, 1:19:36 , 1:22:56
And yes, Spike Lee is a scumbag
Spike literally said “this is one of the stories ever”
Chan-wook park should just remake one of Spike Lee's movies. Would be funny if it turned out to be better than one of Spike Lee's originals.
That movie poster though....
Part of me really wants to see that.
And he should hire and actually pay jaun louise garcia, just to add insult to injury
I would DEFINITELY love to see his take on White Men Cant Jump...
I would love him to do a remake of She’s Gotta Have It. Park Chan-Wook covered subject matter like this in The Handmaiden.
The person who would really do an American Oldboy any justice would be Terentino.
Finally watched OG Oldboy in theaters today thanks to this video.
Somethings I thought were weird that you didn't mention:
In 2003 there's a creepy painting on the wall with the quote "Laugh, and the world laughs with you;. Weep, and you weep alone." We see how this effects Oh Dae Su's attitude throughout the movie as he constantly laughs when he's in distress. It feels like that painting was put there by the mastermind on purpose as he later gives him the quote over the phone "Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same," So it's clear he likes to speak in vague proverbs.
In 2013 the painting is replaced with a picture of a bellhop saying something like "Let us know how we can make your stay more comfortable" which makes no sense because it isn't a real hotel, and it has nothing to do with the themes of the movie. It's just a random nonsensical poster. He hallucinates the bellhop laughing at the TV, but it only happens once and it's unclear what this is even meant to convey.
---------------
The next thing is about the dumplings. They go out of their way in 2013 to make it seem like Joe just for whatever reason HATES dumplings (as YMS points out) but he didn't mention that when he successfully tracks down the right restaurant and eats the dumplings again he starts gobbling them down voraciously. I thought he hated dumplings? When and why did he start loving them? Why would he be happy to eat the food that reminds him of being a captive for 20 years?
---------------
The Headmaster somehow remembers everything about a student from like 30 years ago. This is a headmaster, not even a teacher. Why does she remember him so well while at the same time not remembering the rumor he spread about a girl who ended up getting relentlessly bullied and later murdered by her father who was also a teacher at the school?
---------------
Why did the bad guy's dad shoot him in the shoulder instead of the head? He shot each family member only once, but at least for the others he hit them in the chest. His son was clearly still alive but he just shoots himself without making sure he finished the job. It's not like he was on a time crunch, this seems like the sort of thing you'd want to do properly but whatever I guess.

I've never understood remaking foreign movies for Americans with American actors when the original is still relatively recent and has high production values - basically meaning that there's no real artistic reason to remake it. Is it a cash grab thing usually?
America is a xenophobic country entertainment wise
wouldn't really call it a cash grab since they don't really cash in in the existing fans of that movie and they are too small anyways.
i guess it has rather to do with a quick and simply job (script and movie already exist) of something that seems to work well. the justification is to "americanize" those foreign movies to make it accessable to the american market i guess.
@@KuchiKaeschtliTV I guess that's more what I meant - not really "cashing in on a thing because people like it" but just "getting money from other people's ideas executed worse".

When the rant of your movie is the length of an actual movie you know you made a really awful movie.
I just noticed a small yet HILARIOUS flaw amongst all the other things this remake failed at. When the father (sorry, FAAH-THAAH) is going around & shooting his family with a shotgun, the shotgun has ABSOLUTELY NO RECOIL when fired, as if it's a freaking toy. Amazing, flawless.

I really can't blame him for not caring here.
He put all his efforts in weight gain/loss.
It's so stupid that they changed the incest relationship, the sister brother angle made it forbidden love, something that was wrong but they loved each other so were willing to risk it. In the remake its a parent who rapes his children so often that he wants to kill anybody who stops him being raped. It even completely screws up the revenge of the villain as while he wanted revenge on Oh Dae-Su he ended on asking if they would be able to love each other despite it, so weirdly almost giving him a chance to have what he and his sister lost. But ye in the remake it was just "ye now you see how great it is to rape your children right?"
In the FARTHAR scene, how does his shotgun have no recoil. He’s not even pretending
With how little damage those shots made I think the guy forgot to load up any shot into the shells and just fired empty wads, his wife and daughter just died of embarrassment.

I've seen old boy twice and while I think its a brillaint piece of art I dont think its a film i could watch a third time. Its harrowing, just like all of Directors Park's other films, his work tends to slice off a small piece of your soul and faith in humanity, and you know it will never be returned to you, not even when the credits finish rolling. Even though he usually gives us a 'happy' ending the journey there is so painful and you feel so empty after. "Was all of this worth it?" I ask myself. "How long will their happiness last?"
So whenever I get the urge to watch Old Boy for a third time, i remind myself that its not something my soul can take and I watch this in depth analysis instead. It makes me appreciate the original film so much more.

A Canadian's review of an American remake of a South Korean adaptation of a Japanese manga.
Of a greek folklore called oedipus.
don't remeber if its greek
Anonym Cat Oedipus is Greek yes.
Fact of the day: Oedipus literally translates to swollen foot…
@@AcidOverseer Oedipus doesn't apply because the original manga that all this is based on doesn't have the incest element - it's a fairly basic revenge story. The SK adaptation basically added that twist to make the film its own thing. And besides, it's not like every story that has surprise incest in it is based off of Oedipus.
And also part of an unconnected trilogy
Surprised Adum didn't mention that Oh Desu oversharing in the opening sequence also conveys the characteristic that motivated the antagonist.
Good observation. It goes to show the depth of writing in the original
Also love the parallelism of Oh Dae-Su holding that stranger from falling off the building and Woo Jin holding his sister from falling off the bridge, both of whom die while Oh Dae-Su could have potentially prevented it.
Oh Desu
Fucking brilliant
Varun and TheMightyHaegr
You two have a very keen eye
I didn’t notice these until you both mentioned them. Just further proof of this movie’s competence in comparison to Spike’s “interpretation”. You could probably go back and find nothing that really makes you analyze the film like the original. That whole scene in the remake where his daughter gets the stupid Buddha is the writers and Spike desperately trying to capture that sort of feeling but it instead falls flat on it’s face for having almost no relevancy to the plot since she had never seen it in the first place.
Oldboy (2003) > Oldboy (2013)
that's such a good point! we're given so much information in that first introduction, but what's key to the plot is the simple fact that "oh talks too much".
I love how Oh Desu's reaction to the villain at the end mirrors how he acted in the first captivity scene when the guard brought him food. He pleads, he threatens, he gets violent, then switches back to pleading once he realises he truly has no power
Another fun fact. He begins licking the villains shoes, his source of imprisonment, like how he began licking his hand upon tasting the rain when he was almost to freedom at the start of the movie.

Not saying its right or wrong, but I think that kind of change could have made for a different fight dynamic. Less martial arts and more brute force (but the movie's not too good so I guess we're not getting that haha).

South Korea actually requires all adult citizens to serve a compulsory period in their military so it’s very likely he has had martial arts training as a young man. Definitely a jumping off point for him to train himself well over 15 years.
Underrated comment. It actually sheds some light on what a lot of people who aren't familiar with the original culture would consider a plothole.
All adult MALE citizens. Doesn't change your point but worth the distinction
I don't even think this even needs to be said since the way he trained was just basic punches and dodges with a lot of pain tolerance. The guy was also fighting goons who weren't exactly the best and while it was choreographed, it wasn't over the top. He even got his ass kicked by a real expert at the end. That version could make sense even in a US release but they had to make him John Wick for some nonsense.

Did you miss the part where the sister-fucker was the villain or something?
You know something really important about Oldboy? Oh Dae-su is just some fuckin guy. He's complicated, he's a drunk, he neglects his family...he's just another dude in the world. And when he seeks his revenge, he's never cool and stoic. He's always just some guy, plus 1 fresh crazy pill. You never ever ever see what he's doing as cool or inspirational. He's not a morally ambiguous Hollywood action hero, with a deep gravely voice. He's just a person. And that's why he's so potent.
I don’t Know that hallway scene was pretty cool . But he is wounded pretty bad in that which does define another action hero trope
@@Galvatronover
Brother, struggling for something isn’t a trope, it’s the human condition. If the story is good, the hero will be injured in some way
Did you watch the film? The hallway scene as well as his extreme tactics like torture are meant to excite as well as disturb. Oh Dae su was a normal guy who became a psycho because of the imprisonment which is what the antagonist wanted. I do agree with your point the remake wants us to like joe despite him being significantly worse before imprisonment

Every Single time you were talking about the original i was so invested. But then when you went to the....re-imagining....I always said "No! Go back to the original!"

Exactly! I kinda want to see the original. Even if it's already all spoiled it still sounds so good. The remake almost sounds like something that actually WOULD star Will Smith nowadays.
@@iamaunicorn1232 It's definitely still worth watching even if you've spoiled it for yourself. It's just an amazing work from start to finish and there are a lot of great little moments he didn't talk about in this review.

@@iamaunicorn1232 I watched it last night on Vudu, before watching this review. The ending act actually mind fucked me so hard.
I was so enthralled by your in-depth analysis of the original old boy, that I would honestly forget you were comparing it to the remake. So anytime you transitioned to Spike Lee's version I would instantly grow disappointed because I just wanted to see more the original. If I have that feeling during a TH-cam review I can only imagine how disappointing watching the entire remake must be.
This sums up how I felt exactly

For real, not only is this video a YMS Review for OldBoy (2013) is also a a great review and analysis of Oldboy (2003).

I never revisited the film because "I already know the twist, so what's the point?" but Adam really showed why it's a great film and it's not just because of the twist, the entire thing is a beautifully crafted and well-acted movie.

I actually thought him cutting out his tongue was him apologizing or making amends for "talking too much"
It was: Lee Woo-jin said "Your tongue got her pregnant" just in a few scenes before, and Oh Dae-su cutting his tongue was a way to show him he was never going to do something like that again.
it was also a call back for "you touch her tits i will cut your arm".... "what would you do with my tongue then"

One thing that one reviewer pointed out was that the hammer fight makes much more sense in the original because Korea has very strict gun laws. The remake takes place in Louisiana. It makes next to no sense that he or the thugs would not have a firearm.
Didn't know that, makes sense. Very interesting bit of information regarding the film, thank you! The original movie is such a masterpiece.
Right? It would make great sense that the guards are fighting with a bunch of melee weapons in the original. But in the American version, they really expect us to believe that not one guard in a secret mercenary prison would have a gun on them??
Exactly! Hence why I feel like, if he wanted to do this movie SO bad...why not do it in a country with a stricter laws? It would've made a lot more sense if it took place in England or something. Either way, the remake sucked and did horribly on the Box Office, and I'm glad.
@@evandavis7 The remake even opens with a sign that says “Guns don’t kill, people do”. In a way it’s bizarre.
Korea is a country with strict gun laws. Korean police don't try to force the gangs down, they try to manage them (because even if they do, another organization will be formed). However, if a gangster uses a gun, the military, not the police, will be dispatched to clear it up, so Korean gangsters cannot use a gun even if they have it.
Can we talk about the graphic designer who got screwed over and not paid and then they told him "it's good because you'll still get exposure"... Like, will this ever stop happening to artists?

On the "rubber ducky" subject, the original Oldboy had the scene where she discovers the angel wings he had gotten her so long ago. They don't mean anything to her, she puts them on and you see it doesn't really hold any value to her (can't remember her name ATM). However, the magnitude that the shot has on the viewer, to see her with those wings on as she sits on the bed at the "prison", is absolutely tremendous. Thank you so much for this incredible review.

A quick side note:
In the original manga, the protagonist goes captive for ten years. Park added five for a reason. The limitation period on first degree murder was 15 years in Korea back then. Oh was framed for killing his wife, and there is a scene Lee sending Oh a chat message stating his false charge has been lifted (56:34). This period had been extended to 25 years in 2007, and finally gone limitless in 2015.

I appreciate the Korean reacting that the American version should have guns.
One detail that I really appreciated about the scene where Oh Dae-su tries to force himself through the feeding door of his prison is just how effortless the guard handles it. The way he manages to force Oh Dae-su back into his cell and then close the door/seal the latch using only his feet and without saying a word conveys a lot of information in a really simple an seamless way. For Oh Dae-su his world has been turned completely upside down, but for the guard this is just another day in a job he's seemingly done hundreds if not thousands of times before Oh Dae-su even arrived. It's the first hint we get that these are not amateurs and that while Oh Dae-su is the main focus, he likely isn't the only prisoner, which also teases the fact that his jailers might not be the ones with a vendetta, but rather some sort of weird and twisted business.
