The Spike Lee remake and the Korean original
This page concerns the 2013 English-language Oldboy directed by Spike Lee. Josh Brolin plays Joe, rather than Choi Min-sik’s Oh Dae-su from Park Chan-wook’s 2003 Korean Oldboy. The two productions share a captivity-and-revenge premise but have different casts and storytelling choices. Use the year, director and lead performer together when selecting a version. Its central mystery is best approached without learning the final explanation in advance.
