This remake needs to never happen. This movie is such a masterpiece. I could go on forever about the complex qualities that separate this film from other films in its time. That goes for the rest of the Vengeance movies (my favorite "trilogy").
The music is an entity of its own. It makes the movie. I wrote a huge essay on the Oldboy soundtrack for my university. The soundtrack is genius. The part where he is searching for the dumplings is brilliant. The name of the song that plays after he takes a bite of a dumpling is called "The Searchers" named after a 1956 John Wayne film about a vet searching for his abducted niece. There are so many other "searches" taking place at that point in the movie. Oh Dae-su (the main character) is searching for his daughter. He is searching for his captor. He is searching for the reasons. He is searching for the truth. That's just a small 4 minute part of the movie that encapsulates how intricate it really is. Does anybody truly envisage Spike Lee being able to replicate a fraction of this? I doubt it. This is a movie that needs to not be touched ever.
Spoiler...EDIT: P.S. Not to mention the whole time he is searching for her, she is right there the whole time!!! I'm sorry this movie is great!

Spike is still the only reason I will give this a shot. Unless released footage totally blows.

Spike Lee means nothing to me, when I see his career I cannot find anything enjoyable. I think it is an overvalued filmmaker. Im sorry.

eh not a Lee fangirl at all but I think his take could be interesting.

No we don't. For one, cos this thread is a lie and for two, cos this thread is a fucking lie.
It'll never happen.

I can't stand Spike Lee and his movies don't do anything for me except Inside Man. I really enjoyed that one. As for this...who cares? I'll Netflix it if I even decide to watch it at all.
