10 Most Infuriating Movie Cliffhangers
4. Does He Remember? - Oldboy
Oldboy is without question Chan wook-park's masterpiece, a dark, gritty, gripping thriller that is difficult to look away from even as it broaches difficult, brutal subject matter.The film revolves around a businessman named Oh Dae-su, who is imprisoned for 15 years before being released, at which point he seeks about getting revenge. He ends up falling for, Mi-do, a chef at a local restaurant, only to discover at the end of the film - and this is a mega spoiler alert - that she is, in fact, his daughter who was taken away from him once he was imprisoned.
In Oldboy's final scene, Oh Dae-su has himself hypnotised to forget that Mi-do was ever his daughter, and upon meeting up with her, gives her an embrace, and the camera closes in on Oh Dae-su's face, which changes from joy to anguish, leaving us unsure as to whether the hypnosis ever worked.
