An advertising executive is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his punishment, only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.
In 1993, the alcoholic Joseph "Joe" Doucett is a loathed man with basically one only friend, Chucky, who owns a bar. He neglects his three year-old daughter Mia and is estranged of his ex-wife Donna. Out of the blue, Joe is kidnapped and locked alone in a room for twenty years. Along the years, he learns that Donna was brutally murdered and he was accused of the crime and Mia was adopted and raised by a family. Unexpectedly he is released without knowing who arrested him and why. He meets the humanitarian social assistant Marie Sebastian and his old friend Chucky and together they try to find the identity of his kidnapper.
Ever since the success of the Grudge, 10 years ago, American filmmakers have been looking to popular overseas films for original ideas, many times simply remaking them. To many, this seems like a desperation move for original material, but I see it more as a cultural thing. Movies often reflect the society of the country they were made in, and by remaking them in the United States, the story introduces movie lovers to something unique, from a different culture. I personally find this very desirable and have appreciated many of these remakes, even when I didn't love the story. In his latest venture, Spike Lee takes on the Korean classic, Oldboy. This is a film that was remade simply because of how bizarre and shocking the story is. The year is 1993, and Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) isn't a great guy. For some reason, he's drugged and then locked away in a pretty decent looking room without doors or windows, and held there for exactly 20 years. Then, just as suddenly as he was imprisoned, he was released, and goes on a search for answers, in this seemingly new world. Josh Brolin stars and is usually pretty good as an ancillary character, but as the star of a thriller, I was skeptical. As always, he could have shown some more emotion, but he was much better than I thought he'd be. Spike Lee gives him as much help as he can, by giving him a huge cast of supporting actors, all of whom had name recognition. In particular, Samuel L. Jackson playing a psychopath, was very funny, and definitely injected some much needed humor. Oldboy is one of those films where it all comes down to the ending. If you're unfamiliar with the story, I won't say anything other than to tell you, that it is bizarre and twisted, with an ending the likes of which you couldn't possibly have imagined. Even if you start to watch this film and don't really like it, stick with it, because the ending really is that good.
The 2003 Chan-wook Park film is the second in Park's "Revenge trilogy" and also happens to be an adaptation of a 1990's manga(I would advise steering away from this manga though. It's nowhere near as dark as any of these films).
When I heard that Spike Lee was directing a remake of one of my favorite films I was actually kind of excited. I was excited because I had the perception that Spike Lee knew what he was doing. I mean, Malcolm X was a pretty good movie after all right?! The original film shocked viewers with a disgusting portrayal of incest, but even then it had a purpose. Spike Lee saw that shock treatment and went "Y'know what, I'm gonna up the ante. I'm gonna go shock the viewers even more than the original". The one difference? The latter film had no purpose whatsoever, thus taking the humanity out of the equation.
The 2003 version had a cunning, unusually charming villain with a terrifying cold-hearted bodyguard. The final revelation as to why Woo-jin Lee did what he did actually showed humanity in him. Woo-jin and his sister were perfectly ordinary highschoolers who had secret hidden urges that when acted upon led to horrible consequences. This film took any humanity that they could have possibly had and made their entire family just look like a bunch of monsters.
Also, the most interesting thing about Oldboy is the fact that you're essentially rooting for someone who actually caused the death of a loved one and forgot about it as if it was nothing to him. Throughout the entire film he keeps contemplating on if he deserves to live despite all his sins.
I normally hate comparing films like this but it was as if Spike Lee asked me to himself. He kept looking at the original and went "Okay, what could I do to make something like this scene, or this scene, or that scene, etc." he insists that the 3 hour version is superior, and possibly even good but I highly doubt that there could be much to improve this film with more time.
I would actually not recommend seeing this film, but rather watching the original. I understand a lot of people get bothered by reviews like this but trust me when I say this, it's absolutely worth it. The original Oldboy was made to be enjoyable multiple times because when you find out the true purpose of the villain thus understanding his motives far more clearly for each and every scene he's in.
Spike Lee's remake of 2003's Oldboy is as brutally perplexing as the South Korean original, and needless for both its repetition and tweaks. Nothing is really lost in translation, or gained.
