The vengeance is complete. It is not physical; it is spiritual annihilism. Dae-su wins the fight (cutting out his own tongue as a bizarre apology), but Woo-jin wins the war. He smiles and pulls the trigger on himself, leaving Dae-su in a living hell.
Secuestrado sin razón y encerrado durante 15 años en una habitación de hotel, Oh Dae-su es liberado tan misteriosamente como fue capturado. Sin saber quién lo encerró ni por qué, se lanza a una espiral de venganza implacable. Pero pronto descubrirá que la verdad es mucho más cruel que el encierro… y que la venganza tiene un precio más alto de lo que imaginaba. Old Boy- Dias de Venganza
The narrative engine of Oldboy is a high-concept premise that taps into a primal human fear: the loss of control over one's own existence. The film introduces us to Oh Dae-su (played by the incomparable Choi Min-sik), a boorish, everyman businessman who is kidnapped on a rainy night and imprisoned in a private, hotel-style cell. He is given no explanation, no trial, and no release date. His only connection to the outside world is a television set, through which he learns of his wife’s murder—for which he is framed—and the passing of years. The vengeance is complete
