Superb film. How Cho imagined himself as a compatriot of the protagonist of this movie is beyond me, but we aren’t dealing with a stable mind. |

I haven’t seen any myself, but there’s a batch of Japanese movies which are Ultra-violent. Not the normal crappy sci-fi fare. Stuff that otherwise strives for realism.
Most of those movies are view off the internet a la piracy.
Foreign film distributed (albeit illegally) through the internet. Would seem futile to try to stop them. |

Movies don’t kill people, People kill people. During every tragedy people search for reasons. It’s hard to wrap ones thoughts around the concept someone could do something so horrific, so they look for scapegoats. I have never heard of the move but the idea it’s "punishing emotional violence" is responsible for the killings is ludicrous.
The killer was insane, the state knew it, and he should have been institutionalized. During the wave of liberalism that swept the country after the election of John F. Kennedy, insane asylums were shut down, their inmates tossed on the streets. The asylums were truly “Hell Holes” that need reform, but the community support for the outpatients, promised when their were released, never materialized.
Courts have ruled the insane have the same Constitutional rights as anyone else. That makes involuntary institutionalizing difficult if not impossible, yet we must find a solution for these ticking time bombs before they explode.

I own it. Its definately a bit disturbing of a story, and has strong violence, but definately not the most violet film iv seen, ichi the killer likely taking the cake. But as mentioned, how he identified with this movie i dont know...unless he slept with his sister. Cause that is sort of what the movie is about. Someone with a sexual relationship with there sister getting revenge on the guy who started the rumor and forced her to commit suicide. |

Liberals, most of whom live in a state of denial about the realities of the world, must support their denial by demanding that government control guns, games, movies, the internet, carbon emissions (whatever) in order to maintain their fantasy world (Liberal LaLaLand) where diplomacy solves everything, wars are obsolete , we can control human nature and all are singing Kumbaya.

As a friend of mine once said, "I’ve played those games, watched those movies" and I’m not killing people.
There has to be a hole in your soul for the movie to fill up before it has any "effect." |

Actually JPM it’s a Korean movie, but that said they have their own "ultra-violent" clique as well (though I’d say Oldboy isn’t really about the violence at all). Without spoiling the movie (which is pretty good), it’s basically a modern take on the Count of Monte Cristo, except that whereas in Dumas’ novel Dantes’ imprisonment was entirely unjust in this movie it’s much less clear as is the "justice" of the actions the protagonist takes once he’s released.
Also given the plot twists I’d rather not spoil, It’s hard for me to see why Seung-Hui would identify so strongly with the protagonist (unless he perhaps meant a major character who’s actually the antagonist in the film). The -antagonist- suffered social shame and ostracision in a school environment so that might be it... |

Seems to me you’re trying to attribute logical, linear thought to someone obviously incapable of having such, Lys.. |
