fortunately and i haven not see this film in a movie and big screen and just on a small screen on video . i doubt that i would have be able to sit through the film in a cinema and watch all the violence present in the film . after watch the first 30 minute and i become both disappointed and curious . disappointed because of the hard to follow story line and the hardly understandable screen and the huge amount of aggression i still do not know why i have be show the daesu ( main character ) pull out raw the teeth of another person and his beastliness on woman and him cut out his tongue . and also curious and to see what will the film say a a conclusion and what be the end summary of all this brutality . unfortunately and though the movie be not boring and i do not get any answer to all these cruelty that i have to watch from the beginning to the end . to my opinion and if you want blood and want to laugh and there be kill bill 1 2 and if you want blood with more meaning and you can take any recent war movie and and if you want an eastern movie and there be much good title out there . afterwards i will take the rating from the cannes film festival with more precaution and a while oldboy get a lot of praise from the jury and it have not much to say to me and have only 4/10 on my scale . i be hungry to see something beautiful and harmonious and with true feeling and a clear message .
