Complex narrative
The narrative is quite complicated, with lots of characters, plot twists and flashbacks to the past.
Octopus symbolism
The octopus scene shows that oh needs to eat something alive to feel alive, therefore he orders the live octopus and eats it
Powerful film- depths of the human heart
Age consent
The age of consent was changed , so in the remake, oh is trapped in the hotel room for 20 years, instead of 15 because of the age of consent
Negative western reception
The film was dumbed down for the western audience because they were worried that the controversial subject matter would alienate western fans.
Harming animals-
Octopus eating is culturally okay in Korea
Sadomasochism
Puerile
Doesn't not reach the standards of a puritanical minority
Age consent
Style over substance
Adolescent target/audience
Hollywood remake receptions
CHN- less morally amibigous ending
Commodities morals (capitalistic greed
Alignment
Hammer scene
Ending
