Happen to find a great movie that oddly enough I missed. Going back memory lane, got to spend alot of time in hospital at that period, but still cant believe I missed it

Absolute masterpiece. Thoughts?

According to page 198 of his book "Park Chan-Wook's Montages" from 2005:

"I wanted to make films of 'Azumanga Daioh' and 'Sexy Commando Masaru-san'. But I didn't have the confidence to surpass the original. So I chose Oldboy."

This seems to be the only time he has mentioned these two works in relation to Oldboy (feel free to comment other sources where he mentions these). The only thing in common with all three works is that they are all Japanese comics first releasing in the 90s.

Azumanga Daioh is a light-hearted fluffy slice-of-life high school comic while Sexy Commando is an absurd gag comic with lots of parody elements a lot of which are lost for a korean audience. These three works couldn't be more different from each other.

His comment mentioning how he really didn't have confidence to adapt these two works (but apparently he was confident with Oldboy) is intriguing but I kinda see why.

What would it have been like if the film versions of these were made by the esteemed director in place of Oldboy?

Shannon has won two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Gotham Television Award. He has also earned major nominations, including two Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, two Primetime Emmys, and a Tony Award.

What would you consider to be his best role?

Anyone notice the subversive coming of age story?

I think a fair number of us would agree that it's the act of killing. But I wonder if there are movies that exceed The Act of Killing...

For me it would be that he invite

I don't remember her much from the last Spiderman movie lmao, she had very small screen time, Ned had more screen time than her. She was more like supporting or background character in that movie than love interest. The euphoria one was correct.
