Unfortunately the twist is so popular that you are lucky to watch this movie without knowing about it. Such an amazing movie.

Se7en: I have the most disturbing box reveal Oldboy: Hold my hammer

I contemplated her being his daughter for like 2 seconds earlier in the movie but shrugged it off when he learns that she was adopted by a Swedish family which was a lie. As soon as I saw the first picture in the book i knew where it was going and I couldn’t believe it. Great movie

This villain is so good that i don’t know how to describe him

I’ve never had a movie make my jaw literally drop like this one did when I saw this for the first time.

First movie that made me feel sick... idek how to explain it. I was shocked. Even after the movie, I was like wtf man... this is evil to another level.

Who needs subtitles when you know all the lines anyway

This is how you pull off a twist, absolutely devastating.

Yoo Ji-Tae is gorgeous.... I will never get sick of looking at him.

What you got to understand is that this movie is not about incest. Its about revenge. Two men would fall to their respective tragedies because they got so consumed with taking revenge on each other. From Oh Dae-Su's perspective, he thought that his quest for revenge would reward him with redemption. Instead he only dug himself a deeper hell hole he is never going to get out of. Whatever burden he had before has now become much heavier and he has to live with it. From Lee Woo-Jin's perspective, he should be celebrating because he was the more successful in taking revenge. But what will he celebrate? Nothing of what was lost was brought back. He still has all that pain he carries. Except now he really has nothing left to live for having dedicated his existence for his revenge. In both perspectives, nothing of what was lost was really taken back. And that is the truth about revenge.

This movie is brilliant and what makes this scene more poignant is the fact that he is dressing himself so meticulously practically for his own funeral while connecting the last pieces of his revenge to Dae-Su. Just adds a layer to Woo-Jin that makes his character that much more interesting.

"IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO" The prank:

twist was so brutal that it impacted my whole day

Fun Fact: This movie was based off of a manga, but the twist and many other things were completely different. Like the reason why he was imprisoned, and he doesn’t have a daughter in the manga.

I'm beyond words at how someone could even think of such a plot twist - beyond shocking!!

영어 캡션이 있을 줄 알았는데 없어서 놀람. 자막이 없는 클립인데도 이렇게 해외에서 사랑받는다는 게 얼마나 올드보이가 명작인지 실감난다

Great part when Woo Jin reveals that he didn’t hypnotize him to make Oh dae su not remember but that he just simply forgot because it wasn’t important to him. Something that Oh dae su did that was so in consequential to him was so devastating to Woo Jin.

It never made sense to me that why a beautiful girl would be attracted to a man like him.. Hypnosis could be the only explanation

이게 벌써 20년이 지났구나...대학생때 극장에서 본 그 충격은 잊을 수 없다.

진짜 올드보이는 볼 때마다 새로운 영화같은 인상을 주죠. 다시 볼 때마다 이미 영화 장면 하나하나마다 힌트가 있었음에도 대부분 뭔가 종점이 올 때쯤에야 알아채립니다. 유지태를 감독으로 최민식을 관객이라고 보고 이 장면을 보면 진짜 감독이 피식 웃으면서 여기까지 보고도 상황파악이 안되냐고 말하는 듯한 느낌도 있어서 재밌습니다 ㅎㅎ

6:11 that tuba from the soundtrack always gives me goosebumps, every time

I wonder if Oh Dae-su knew what was coming when he saw the first picture and continued looking out of fear, to hopefully disconfirm what he thought it really was or if he just thought back to his wife and child for a second.

Dae Su was basically been “marinated” for 15 years by Woo Jin, meticulously and methodically all in the purpose of completing the plot. When we watch the movie for the first time, we were all lead to believe that it’s Dae Su’s revenge, but the revelation reveals that it was in fact, Woo Jin’s revenge afterall. Woo Jin lost his own sister and 15 years imprisonment was to agonize Dae Su, and at the same time to block his contact with his own family (especially his own daughter, who will be the main ingredient for Woo Jin’s revenge). Woo Jin’s glimpse of his elevator past scene and his own suicide also shows us the glimpse of his own psyche and also hints that he too was suffering all this time, but to linger on to finish/complete his revenge for his own sister’s death and finally to kills himself to follow/meet his sister at last. Very powerful film and many MANY subtle double meanings in this film…. Brilliantly made

Legendary scene, perfect movie in all aspects. Truly the pinacle of filmmaking here.

2:00 클라이막스 내내 비웃던 이우진의 표정이 굳었던 장면. 소문이 두려워 누나의 손을 져버린 자신을 용서하지 못한 날. 이우진은 이 사건을 오대수의 탓으로 돌려 그를 가두고 심판하려고 한다. 누나를 져버린 자신 또한 그가 규정한 죄에 포함되어 있는 사실을 알면서도 오대수만을 집요하게 괴롭힌 것이다. 결국 오대수에게 복수한 후 그는 곧 엘레베이터에서 그간 외면하던 자신의 죄를 대면하고 자신을 용서하지 못한 이우진은 자살하고 만다. 올드보이란 제목은 누나가 죽은 시점에서 정신적 성장이 멈춘 이우진에게도 참 어울리는 제목인 것 같다.

Only on my third viewing of this film I fell in love with the whole laser point humming part. Now makes the whole third act even more phenomenal which I didn’t know was possible. Such a stylish film/ trilogy he made. All three are exceptional

자꾸 틀린 질문을 하니까 맞는 대답이 나올리가 없잖아

What a masterpiece, movie and the WARDROBE !

I was literally going "No... no!" even though I knew already what was coming

4:17 How can someone who asks the wrong question get an answer?!

Back when this first came out we watched it as part of my film club it was just so original and amazing never took a smoke break the whole time no one got up to get food it just kept us on the edge of our seats! The whole vengeance trilogy was great but this film is truly a gem!

I didn't even understand any single word in this movie but this is a mind blowing movie.. Love from india❤️

His humming gives me chill.

Woo Jin is the true Oldboy of the film since he never grew up and accepted responsibility for his sister's death which was his own fault instead he Blamed Dae Su Unfairly and ruined multiple lives just to make himself feel Better.

20년 전 영화라고 믿기지 않을 세련된 미쟝센, 연출.

Do yourself a favor and do not watch the spike lee hollywood remake. It is the lowest form of garbage compared to this masterpiece.

I was so shocked by this twist, I wasn't paying attention to the fight until Woo Jin shoots Han. A Greek tragedy dialed up to 11. This movie is a fucking masterpiece.

The only movie that taught me "Sometimes you don't have to root for anyone"

So I guess the title of this video must be he reveals why daesu had been freed after 15 years of imprisonment

The orchestra did a good job

Him humming that music is so creepy

Only 3 movies ever gave me goosebumps. Only 1 scene gives me goosebumps every time I just even think of it. Cult Classic!

I can’t stop watching this

*Be it a stone or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same* - Woo-Jin holds Dae-Su responsible for Soo-Ah's death for 2 reasons: 1) Dae-Su spied on them having sex because he was jealous (he had flirted with Soo-Ah), and it's why he exposed them to his friend - who goes around cruelly slut-shaming her. 2.) Dae-Su was so self-involved that he forgot the whole thing. This majorly offends Woo-Jin, because the gossip led to Soo-Ah's mental breakdown.

This is what called 'master piece"

That was one hell of a twist. Like I don’t generally care much about spoilers but this was one of those times were the plot twist was truly so shocking I actually wasn’t breathing properly for like a few minutes lol

" 자꾸 틀린 대답을 하니까 맞는 대답이 나올리가 없잖아 "

one of the best twists ever, and it is "twisted" in every mean!

자꾸..틀린질문만 하니까 맞는대답이 나올리가없잖아? 왜 이우진은 오대수를 15년간 가둿을까?가 아니라.. 왜 15년만에 풀어줬을까?란말이야..

Crazy foreshadowing when she put on the angel wings she was supposed to get 15 years earlier

best villain I have seen in awhile!

One of the best villains of all time.

말 하나에 임신했던 수아처럼 말로 암시를 걸어서 사랑하게 만들었던 것도 인상깊다.

Literally man what a genius person was woojin . But if we see rationally both were wrong and right at the same time . One wanted revenge for her sister suicide and one wanted reason for his isolation for 15 frickin years, one had to face consequences for speaking too much and one for his bad way of taking revenge . Such a mad movie .

woon-ji was right he created a monster.. created by a monster

Please do not watch this one spoiler before watching oldboy

I asked my brother what this movie was about and asked him what happens at the end (Stupid, I know... Lol). I'm so glad he refused to tell me and told me to watch it for myself. Also, not so glad I found out, I felt physically ill after all of it.

I remember when i watched this movie for the first time i was questioning myself like is that sex scene necessary?? I was kinda uncomfortable with those excessive and very strong sex scenes, but then after this scene everything made sense and i understood why those sex scenes were necessary... it gave me goosebumps.

wow, just saw it today for the first time. Jaw dropping ending

유지태 발성 너무 좋네

The way my jaw dropped at this scene.

0:50 꼭 관객보고 이야기하는거같아

Damn it! I wish I had seen this movie before somebody spoiled the twist for me

One of the best cinema of our lifetime.

what's the song was he singing when he aiming with the small torch??

“Laugh, and the World laughs with you. Cry, and you cry alone.”

와아 젊은 유지태 지나치게 잘생겼고 연기도 잘했었구나

So nobody’s gon talk about that wardrobe? Damn the collection

Where is subtitles....

And are we supposed to understand this without any subtitle?

Best movie ever. Period

Guess what I literally got a spoiler that she was his daughter, but when I saw the movie I shrugged it off after the movie said she was adopted by someone. I was mindblown by this scene.

Best ever movie i have watched 👌👌

Never gossip.

Fantastic twist, eloquently done.

I kept on saying wtf after that reveal like seriously wtf

기생충도 그렇고 올드보이도 그렇고 1초도 집중력이 흐트러지는 장면이 없다.. 미친 몰입력이다 후..

If you have any questions about the lines, ask me. I am Korean.

iconic scene: when he opens the photo album....5:52 makes my heart sink

Woo-Jin's humming makes that laser scene creepier and more beautiful

The music.

3:41.....😮😮

No subtitle, brilliant

This acting is top tier, up there with breaking bad and prisoners

Why is the title english but no subtitles???

Best plot twist from France.

It was remade in hindi as 'ZINDA' in 2006 with Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham .

Thanks

I’m glad I watched this movie

정말 최고의 영화!

She was 15 years old when she drowned

Why do I always see this picture of Woojin pointing his head with the gun and blood in his forehead but in the movie he was clean, that scene never actually happened or did miss something?

Take notes Neil Drunkman, this is how you make a revenge story.

My mind was fucked

I didn't sleep the night when i watched this movie. Totally disgusting and Traumatizing this scene was.

oh this man is creative

Regular movie ending: The protagonist avenged perfectly Oldboy ending : The Antognist avenged perfectly.

How tf you guys watch this without subtitles? I didn't expect so many english comment here

This is one of the best and most subversive revenge movies. You thought it was about the hero getting revenge on the villain, when it was the other way around the whole time.

just finished watching the movie, 0 context, didn't know what it was about, did not expect this twist, now I'm fucking broken.
