This Featurette About ‘Oldboy’ May Sell You On The Movie
But then I watched this featurette…
Something about Brolin’s level of commitment has sparked my interest. The guy pulls a Christian Bale on steroids, physically transforming himself throughout the course of the production. From an average Joe to a chubby, hairy slob, to a slick, toned killer, Brolin really threw himself into this part. And something he says towards the end of the clip appealed to me: “It’s an experience, and that’s what I want when I go to the movies. I want to be moved.” I have a feeling this is going to be a cool, gritty, intense two hours at the movies. The kind where you check your brain at the door, plop that bucket of popcorn on your lap, and let a veteran storyteller take you on a thrill ride. This has the potential to be the next “Taken,” but with better production value.
Or maybe I just had too much coffee and my over-stimulated brain is reading way too much into this clip. You be the judge!
