Dae-Su is an obnoxious drunk bailed from the police station yet again by a friend. However, he's abducted from the street and wakes up in a cell, where he remains for the next 15 years, drugged unconscious when human contact is unavoidable, otherwise with only the television as company. And then, suddenly released, he is invited to track down his jailor with a denouement that is simply stunning.Oldboy / Film synopsis

On the surface, Oldboy is a highly stylized, beautifully choreographed film full of blood and gore. The iconic hallway fight scene is easily one of the most influential pieces of cinema of the 21st century. All the big budget, one-take fight scenes you see in Marvel movies and the like owe Park Chan-Wook a fat check.

Parents need to know that Oldboy is renowned director Park Chan-wook's second addition to his "Vengeance Trilogy," released after 2002's Sympathy for Mr Vengeance. It has extremely mature sexual themes related to incest, a sustained graphic sex scene, and nudity (breasts and bottoms).

That was when I became interested in themes such as guilt, vengeance, and redemption. “Oldboy” features many allusions to classical mythology, from the name Oh Dae-su reminding the audiences of Oedipus, to Lee Woo-jin, played by Yoo Ji-tae, assuming a Yoga pose as if he's a religious deity.

Part of Oldboy's resonance is due to the movie's final, most devastating twist: the late revelation that Mi-do is Dae-su's daughter, and that Woo-jin arranged their meeting and affair as revenge for Dae-su inadvertently exposing Woo-jin's incestuous attachment to his own sister when they were in school together long ...

The film can be understood as a parable about knowledge (and more specifically, self-knowledge), or a variation on the Oedipal or Faustian myth, since the success of the villain's scheme is based on Oh's being allowed (and indeed, forced) to discover what he wants to know.

There's a core element of emotional realism that accentuates Park's brutal narrative beats, leaving us to ponder something more than a bloody body.

Typically, young people like the experience and maturity of older men. After years of dating around, older guys tend to know what they want. Or, they might be interested in older men's security, refined look, or their sexual experience.

Age Appropriate for: 15+. The film would probably translate to a PG-13: There is cursing, drug use, the death of a beloved pet, and one comically violent scene where someone gets stabbed in the eye with a spoon (it's more funny than gory), but no obscene or sexually graphic situations.

Sex, swears and sweetness: 'Good Boys' is rated R, but can tweens see it? Jacob Tremblay is, by all accounts, a good boy: He loves his mom and dad, adores “Star Wars” and doesn't curse. His character Max in the R-rated comedy “Good Boys” (in theaters Friday) has a foul mouth.

Oldboy is actually based on a manga series written by Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya. It was first published in 1996, well before Chan-wook Park's 2003 cinematic adaptation.

Based on the Old Boy manga, it is a remake of Park Chan-wook's 2003 South Korean film of the same name, and follows a man who searches for his captors after being mysteriously imprisoned for twenty years.

Oldboy is a 2013 American neo-noir action thriller film directed by Spike Lee and written by Mark Protosevich. Based on the Old Boy manga, it is a remake of Park Chan-wook's 2003 South Korean film of the same name, and follows a man who searches for his captors after being mysteriously imprisoned for twenty years.

Amazing. It is a good show and I think kids that are at least 14 can watch it because all it takes is to be mature about everything.

The New Boy is rated M for mature themes.

The story quickly devolves into a haphazard succession of age-inappropriate gags. Rogen and Goldberg started writing their Superbad script when they were 13. So, to be fair, the combination of minors and adult material might seem more natural to them than it would to most people.
