"In Park's original film"
Except it WASN'T. It was a derivative work. There's the ORIGINAL manga which both films are (very loose) adaptations of. Look I know everyone has a hard-on for the so called "masterpiece" of South Korean film making and I am well aware that the Spike Lee version is nothing more than an attempt to piggy back on Chan Wook Park's success but damn it all can't the ORIGINAL manga get some respect already? It's always how does the new film compare to Park's film. Park's film this. Park's film that. How about does it follow the MANGA at all? Sadly I doubt it will. Second time Oldboy has been ruined and yeah I just went there. Shinichi Goto >>>>>>>> Oh Dae Su |

mrsticky, build a bridge and get over it. You may have not liked the korean film adaptation, but clearly a lot of other people did considering it did pretty well over there and well enough for Lee to consider doing his own American version of that movie, not the manga. You can hardly blame anyone for wanting to compare Spike Lee's film to the korean film because well, let's face it they're both films. It wouldn't make sense to try and compare Lee's film to the original manga because it was never his intent to emulate that version of the story to begin with.
