Oldboy 10 Cooper Release Discussion 10/05/10
A truly great if severely twisted movie, one of my favorites, and a top notch Rhys Cooper poster to go with it. I Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this print. I love the octopus behind Dae-su's head, one of the most surreal moments of the film.

I love all three prints also! Now that an on-sale date has been published, I'll definitely have to make a decision soon. What I can say now is that the prices will be in-line with those of that fine poster publishing outfit that has a rumor thread of 200+ pages in this forum.

A few people might want to ask the seller of these to keep an eye out for a certain person ordering from Germany...

Love the poster, HATE the butchered quote.
"Even though I'm no worst..." is silly and not from the film.
"Even though I'm no better than a beast, don't I have a right to live?" is what the character says in the film. Here's hoping someone catches that before this one gets printed.

Yeah, I'm confused - there has to have been a reason for this.ironjaiden wrote:Love the poster, HATE the butchered quote.

And since the show already opened, I'm assuming these are already printed.

I noticed this too, my guess is that Rhys was watching a jacked up dubbed version of old boy and this is what the line morphed into????daviddelgadoh wrote:Yeah, I'm confused - there has to have been a reason for this.ironjaiden wrote:Love the poster, HATE the butchered quote.

I prefer it as it is, as per the subtitles. This twisted grammar suits the plot much more than the 'Queen's English' would anyway.
This is a great piece of art, I think whatever your views on the quote, it has far more to offer and to focus on than the text. Dae Su is depicted perfectly here, I reckon this image sums up everything about his desperation and confusion. This is a guy who has had his humanity systematically stripped away, I don't think during his incarceration he would have been practicing his 'how now, brown cows'.
Nice work Mr. Cooper, congrats for sticking to your guns on this.
