Park Chan-wook on the Long Journey to No Other Choice

A great example is the start of the film Old Boy. It opens with Oh Dae-su (played by Choi Min-sik), looking disheveled, holding a man by his tie from the roof of a building in Seoul. Dae-su says, “I need to tell you my story,” to the man, who is holding a small dog. This scene is a standout moment for director Park, as it sets up the main story of the movie.
