Oldboy, Old Memories, Wild Wild Boy
Isn't it wonderful how sometimes when you are thinking about one thing, your mind jumps to another? Only a short time ago I was writing about Rorschach and mentioned its music, which was borrowed from the Oldboy (2003) OST. Soon after making that post, I started thinking about the movie. I watched it a long time ago and could only remember a couple of things from it (not including the fact that the movie was extremely violent, this is kinda hard to forget). For one, the octopus which was eaten alive by the main hero. A really memorable scene - octopus' legs sticking out of Dae-su 's mouth, swirling. And, of course, the legendary corridor fight scene (a very long continuous take, marvelous). This scene was actually the reason I got to see Oldboy in the first place. I heard about it before I even knew what the movie is really about. Anyway, it seemed only logical to find the DVD and watch it again. What can I say? It is indeed a very impressive movie, a thriller with a mess...
