Park Chan-Wook "vengeance trilogy" : your fav?
 

I got this strange poll fever latelyu, so here's a poll.
Which one is your favourite? And add a reason, if you feel like doing it. Ha ha, my spelling is lame.

I think Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is my favourite. It's been a while since I've seen it though. Either that or Oldboy for sure. Lady Vengeance wasn't all that great.

I agree with you. Lady Vengeance was kind of a let down, but the last 25 minutes in the abandoned school (no spoilers, but you know what I'm talking about) are really amazing. Mr. Vengeance is probably the most "heavy" one, because it feels much more "real" than Old Boy, imo.

I feel that oldboy is far and away the most overrated film I've ever seen. Starts out nice, ends interestingly, but the middle of it is all over the place, it just draaaaaaaaaaags in places, and ... yeah. It was like # 30 on imdb's top 250, not a very good gauge for films, but still.. I'd give it a 5 or 6 out of 10 depending on how I'm feeling.

Lady Vengeance I can't comment on. Sympathy is a MASTERPIECE. So, Sympathy.

Decided to re-watch all these with my girlfriend recently.

Oldboy is still a fucking mess of a film but it's more enjoyable than when I first saw it 3 years ago. Really, I find it kind of boring, I don't like any of the characters, and the plot doesn't really do anything for me after the first (and last) 20 minutes or so. Meh.

Lady Vengeance is fucking awesome.. that sex scene at the table is great! I think it's the hardest to get into because it shifts focus so much and because it explores themes that most Americans don't really want to see explored, but it's a masterpiece through and through -- you have to watch the fade to white version, where the movie slowly fades to black and white..

I still gotta say, Sympathy is by far and away is the most pleasing to my senses.

I appreciate Park Chan's artful sensibilities mixed with really heavy, emotional stories. He really knows how to craft scenes that effect you; his depictions of cold, emotionless sexual acts in his films always get to me. But his films are also fucking hilarious and beautiful.

If I was going to reccomend one, MR. VENGEANCE is by far his masterpiece so far. I like how all the characters in the film are good people but they all do really bad things at some point.

oh this is hard.

my least favorite (i still loved it) was lady vengeance.

oldboy-- yeah, good, really good.

but sympathy for mr. vengeance was the best one. it was AWESOME.
