Oldboy's hallway fight has a surprising meaning.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Legendary South Korean director Park Chan-wook reveals that the famous hallway scene from his neo-noir action thriller Oldboy was more profound than many might have realized. The 2003 thriller, which has received numerous plaudits and is widely considered a classic, follows the story of Oh Dae-su, a businessperson who is held captive in a motel-like room for 15 years without knowing who his captor is or what they want.
"The point I wanted to express was that those enemies are not important people. This is not a scene in which the protagonist is dueling with the main villain. These are men hired by a man who was hired by the main villain. These people are never going to make an appearance again and all of them are unnamed characters. You can almost say they're abstract beings.
"If we look at life from a distance, like in the hallway scene, there is tragedy, but there's also comedy. It's this intense battle, but there are also these ironic and comedic moments hidden in our lives."
