had avoided seeing this film actually--the synopsis struck me as somewhat depressing. Finally I broke down and I am so glad that I did! What an uplifting film. It made me once again realize how blessed I am--how much I have to be thankful for. The film heralds in stark relief how humanity should and can survive in the face of unrelenting adversity. I can go back to worrying about not having a concierge to walk my pooch up and down Fifth Avenue! Not! It's time to fly a kite!
Jinny and I went to see Old Boy yesterday. In short, it's a Korean Tarantino-esque film of monumental proportions. However you have to get this movie--get it. Based on the Manga comic books, Oldboy is extraordinarily well written story of two men serving each other revenge very cold. It's violent--but the violence is not the point of the film at all. I promise it will leave you breathless. Quentin Tarrantino apparently loved this film and it was awarded the Grand Jury prize at Cannes this year.
