"Old boy" is a South Korean neo-noir action thriller film directed by Park Chan-Wook, released in 2003. Adapted from the Japanese manga of the same name by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi, the film follows the story of Oh Dae-Su, a man who is mysteriously imprisoned for 15 years and then released, embarking on a quest for vengeance and answers.

A poignant and tragic element underlying the protagonist Oh Dae-su's journey in "Oldboy" lies in the profound loneliness and isolation he endures throughout his harrowing ordeal. From the moment he is inexplicably abducted and thrust into a mysterious captivity, Dae-Su is stripped of his autonomy, his freedom, and perhaps most painfully, his connections to the outside world.
