Oldboy is the 2003 South Korean mystery thriller sensation from director Chan-wook Park that has to be seen to be believed ' if one can make it through the whole way. The film tells the story of father and husband Dae-Su who, for seemingly no reason at all, is kidnapped and thrown into a motel-like jail cell for 15 years. The cell has a bed, bathroom and television, but there are no windows. A steel door with only a small opening at the bottom so that food can be delivered is all that connects him to the outside world. Gas is emitted into the room periodically to subdue Dae-Su allowing a crew to provide medical attention where necessary or attend to any housekeeping agendas. Dae-Su's next decade and a half will consist of watching television and staying fit in hopes of an eventual release and identifying both his capture and the reason for his incarceration. When he is released back into society with his TV-taught vocabulary and his self-taught fighting prowess, he meets Mido, an aspiring sushi chef and immediately begins to seek out his captor.MORE[EDIT]
