Day 2 and going strong. Today I picked Oldboy. Oldboy is about this guy who gets kidnapped for 15 years and he's not sure why. He also watches a shit ton of tv and kinda teaches and trains himself to get ready for his escape and inevitable revenge. He starts out as a drunk and seems to have some personality but 15 years of solitude takes it's toll. When he's released he doesn't know what the hell is going on, he's dressed nicely and on the roof with some suicidal guy and his dog. From there on, he kicks a little ass and little clues start coming in. By the end, one of the most creative plots for revenge is revealed.
Favorite Scenes
1. Once he's let out he comes across a gang and he takes one of their cigarettes. They kick him down and he takes a tumble, but before he gets back up he thinks for a while and takes another drag.
2. The hallway fight scene.
This is worth a watch just to see why he goes through all the stuff that he does. Not to mention the style of it all, a good movie.
5 hammers out of 5
