Oldboy
I saw this a while ago now, but I was reminded tonight about how fucking fantastic it is.

It's a Korean movie, about a normal guy, a bit of a loser, who gets abducted and locked up in a room, without explanation, for 15 years. During the time, he sees on a television a news report about the murder of his wife, in which he is then implicated as number one suspect. His daughter is taken into care, and adopted by foreign parents.

After the 15 years, he is released without explanation, again, and given 5 days to discover why he was imprisoned.

It's a beautifully shot and unsettling film, with some brilliant scenes of ultra-violence.



Quote:
From Paul Berne's autobiography:

Damien Gates tried to use me as a way back into football. That dirty English cunt knew his career was finished and he tried to drag me down with him, attempting to keep me up by reminising about the old times. I could see beneath his lies however, right to the point where I just wanted to smack that bastard.

'I knew I hadn't played well that day, I knew the team hadn't performed to his capabilities but by golly, his head shake made me want to destroy his face'

Looks to be a great movie, and I hope to see it this weekend.

Yes. Particularly this bit where he beats the fuck out of about 80 people in a corridor with a hammer.

Great movie. Great cinematography especially. Love the fight scene.

Americans are remaking it. They're gonna mess it up.

Yeah, it's a great movie, but it was made already over a year ago, how come you get it in theaters just now? Though I guess it's understandable, by the time Hero was playing in your cinemas it had already been put into DVD and VHS in here and they had actually shown it in the TV too.

It only came out here on DVD last month, I think.

Also, Hero is shit. I turned it off after 20 minutes or something. Awful.
