OLDBOY 2003
Oldboy is a 2003 South Korean mystery thiller film directed by Park Chan-wook.The film follows the story of one Oh Dae-su, who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae-su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and violence. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef.
Highlights :
The corridor fight scene took seventeen takes in three days to perfect and was one continuous take; there was no editing of any sort except for the knife that was stabbed in Oh Dae-su's back, which was computer-generated imagery.
The octopus being eaten alive was not computer-generated; four were used during the making of this scene. Actor Choi Min-sik, a Buddhist, said a prayer for each one. It should also be noted that the eating of live octopuses as a delicacy exists in East Asia, although it is usually cut, not eaten whole.
It is completely up to each individual viewer to interpret what is unshown.
Official Trailer :
An American remake is planned for release in 2013, which will be directed by Spike Lee.
