Oldboy



This scene in Oldboy is a rather good comparison to make with the wall punching in our video; the encapsulation of the anger of both characters. The plot of the film is also not unlike that of our music video; the main character (Oh Dae-Su) spends his time searching for a lost person in his life (his daughter, Mi-Do, who's fourth birthday he misses when he goes missing), when in actuality the person is with him the entire time. Additionally, there is a recurring stylistic approach in Oldboy that bears similarities with our music video, for instance a lot of the interiors of the film are somewhat decrepit and misused, which bears a resemblance to the abandoned airfield command structure that we filmed inside.
