Sinopsis(1)
Un día del año 1988, Oh Dae-su, un hombre que lleva una vida de lo más normal con su mujer y su hija, es secuestrado delante de su casa. Cuando se despierta, está encerrado, sin saber dónde ni por qué. Mientras Dae-su intenta aclarar qué le ha pasado, se queda horrorizado al oír en las noticias que su esposa ha sido brutalmente asesinada. La policía explica que Dae-su es el principal sospechoso ya que ha encontrado sangre suya en el lugar del crimen. El tiempo pasa y decide escribir todo lo que ha hecho en su vida que haya podido causar dolor a otros. Mientras escribe, murmura: "He hecho daño a demasiadas personas. Seguro que el hombre que ha matado a mi mujer y me tiene aquí es una de ellas". Poco a poco, Dae-su se acostumbra a la penumbra de su celda y hace ejercicios físicos y mentales. Jura que se vengará del hombre que ha destruido su felicidad. Un día, alguien vaporiza la habitación con gas, y Dae-su se desmaya. Dae-su vuelve en sí. Está libre. Le han dejado un teléfono móvil y una cartera llena de dinero. Recibe la llamada de un extraño que le dice que ahora le toca descubrir el por qué de su encarcelamiento. Un pasado olvidado le revelará el secreto. (Lolafilms)

Una historia sencilla, contada de forma innecesariamente incomprensible. Un trabajo visualmente impresionante, con una música increíblemente utilizada y grandes actores, pero la historia en sí, especialmente el desenlace, de alguna manera me dejó frío. Es que los asiáticos son diferentes, se expresan de forma diferente y perciben de forma diferente, y con Un tipo normal, cuya historia es interesante, no experimenté lo que las escenas de escalada dramática intentaban decirme. Pero tengo mucha curiosidad por ver el remake americano.

An extreme variation on the classic Oedipus Rex substance, where Fate replaces the motive of revenge? Why not? Especially when it's all filmed in an excellently light style, narrated by a few "voices" and shipped in a luxurious visual package... For me, the insight and the natural oscillation between black humor and drama is the culmination of Oldboy. Surprisingly, even the brutality of some of the passages does not appear self-serving and fits well into the Asian trend of "crippled" heroes. Great music. The famous acting performance of Dae Su... a perfect and unexpected final twist, which is embedded in the structure of the film so systematically that I would to enjoy watching it again. I'm a little bothered by the formal coldness that emanates from most of the film, but at the end it turns into existential heat. Not entirely captivating, yet still an unforgettable film.

I have a problem with Asian films because their emotionality is beyond me. I don't deny the camera finesse, a few visually memorable scenes (although judging by the reviews I was expecting a much, much more visually striking work), but a three-minute fight in one uninterrupted shot, a close-up of teeth being pulled and a live octopus being eaten don't make a memorable film. First and foremost, it's about the story, and the story here – told in a somewhat incomprehensible way for my taste – couldn't quite reach me, as well as the twist and emotional outpourings in the last twenty minutes. I can't help it, Oldboy is overrated in my eyes, which is not to say it's not worth watching.

Well, wasn’t that a shock. After a long time I was flabbergasted by a twist! A great story, fantastic performances and direction, and a very interesting narrative style. The cultural differences can be felt and I didn’t get the emotional side of Old Boy, but thumbs up for everything else. PS: This is one of those films where bringing the story closer through a western remake would not be out of the question, provided it gets in the hands of a competent director, of course.

An Asian miracle that had no effect on me. The musical accompaniment is flawless, but visually, even the highly praised scenes reach the limit of mediocrity. If there is anything of brilliance here, it's the twist; too bad that right after it, director Chan-wook Park "adds more blood" and loses me again on the way to the climax. I understand everyone who was moved by the last minute or captivated by the film as a whole. I understand them, but I will never be one of them.
