when the director asked him to join this movie, he rejected several times. but one condition he asked was speaking korea in the movie. to give more fear to the scarllett when they speak korean which she never understand.
That's cool.I hate it when movies with foreigners have them speak English.Just like in Taken 2.They're Albanians but they talk to each other in English.If I was playing a foreign character,I would speak that foreign language and not have a typical foreign accent when speaking English.
I understood some of it due to my two tours in South Korea. I was what we called a "village rat" as opposed to being a "barracks rat." A "village rat" is the GI who goes into the village/town and gets to know the people, customs, learn some if not a lot of the language, etc. The last time I was there was 1980 and I still get a craving for kimchi.
The magnetism of the Korean actor is incredible. Not to forget the pure masculinity of the men who took her. The female lead was just so stupid she should have left Richard the moment he mentioned her taking the case not be weak and let him put the case on her
Choi Min Sik is such a great actor. I love how Mr. Jang doesn't get the big bad villain introduction, because he doesn't give a shit in this scene. He just wants this ordeal with Lucy off his plate and move on with his day. And Oldboy just delivers it so chillingly distant
@@TheDiamondSkye extraordinary actor as he is I don't think he would be believable as a woman :v I love him as an actor btw, just I don't think if you are not the main protagonist you have no chance to show your quality to act.
@@TheDiamondSkye thats great that he is an amazing actor but the movie is about Lucy and they casted scarlett, so many amazing actors get side parts dont be such a flake.
@@shiruwa4617 When I lived there as an English teacher, I got obsessed with the film Oldboy. This guy, Choi Min Sik was well recognized as one of the greatest actors that S. Korea has ever produced. He's immensely respected. And rightly so! He's fantastic! I ended up renting every single film that he was ever in. He's genuinely one of the best actors in the world...and he tends to choose very interesting projects. I Saw the Devil is really good and so is, Sympathy for Ms. Vengeance, but I'm still to this day in awe of his acting prowess from Oldboy. That film was magnificent!!
uh. . . no. yeah, there are a few nicely done scenes (as well as some very badly done). but the entire premise, recapitulating the widely believed but ridiculous notion that we only use 10% of our cerebral capacity, is a total buzzkill. they couldn't find some fundamental premise that didn't reinforce some popular culture ignorance? really? giant fail which taints the entire film.
Fucking love Min-Sik Choi, his acting is phenomenal, he is so scary and intimidating as mr jang, I dare say his acting in this scene is better than Oldboy, incredible actor, one of my favorites.
My favorite part of that whole scene is that laughing crackhead that had to be shot just to stop him from laughing. That was hilarious. I probably played 5:17 at least twenty times.
First time I saw this movie I didn't know who Min-Sik Choi was. Now that I do, I paid a little bit better attention to and was impressed by his performance as the villain in this movie.
Min-Sik Choi - One of the greatest actors Scarlett was phenomenal too Morgan freeman speech about time and cerebral capacity so captivating and interesting Such a great movie
I was glad that I could finally understand Korean from foreign movies. Usually, actors who don't speak Korean were trying to speak Korean in foreign movies especially American movies. So it was extremely difficult to understand what they are saying in Korean even though I am Korean.
How underboss and the cappo restrict their smiles makes me finally laugh out loud. To squeeze those smiles near their boss make those smiles equivalent to a whole day laughter😂
"Hey really great offer...but I'll have to pass. I'm going to school full time... And... I wouldn't be able to give you the level of commitment... Obviously needed in your organization. But again, really GREAT offer. Thanks so much. No need to show me the way out... I can see the door."
It's interested how Mr Jang and Lucy end up in a role-reversal only a few scenes later. Here, he's in control, calm, and almost annoyed to have to deal with what I'm sure he thinks of as some ignorant American girl. And when she returns to his building later, he's the one scared out of his wits, not understanding anything happening, and she's the calm, cool, and collected one.
@@bookuroooverwatch161 In the sense of the logic, it's terrible. The premise is actually not bad. I always treat movies like a parallel world, anything can happen in there that's different than normal circumstances. Even if the place names are similar with our world.
@gustiyanmahardika2560 Hmm, i guess. If you can suspend your disbelief, then the movie can be more enjoyable. But it's difficult sometimes when the location matches a real world location and they try to pull you in with some kinda sciency fact.
It's funny cuz he's laughing but he just learned the secret of the universe before he died that's why he was laughing they don't even know they're Doom
Excellent movie I was ransomed from meaningless existence by the grace of God. Lucy existence became so much more meaningful with her enhanced understanding and power. Satan will continue to follow his agenda to destroy humanity. Since his time is short. Jesus will arrive and everyone will see His 2nd Coming! Are you gonna spend eternity in His wonderful presence, or live forever with regret! Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!
Choi Min Sik, (Mr. Jang), did a study of Steven Roots character in "No Country for Old Men". The Mr. Jang character in "Lucy" used a great variety of props to support his disinterested, dismissive character, while "No Country for Old Men" accomplished the same with superb acting and succinct dialogue.
Now this brings up a question, did the dude got a look to the future? Like, we know what happens in the blood stream, but right up the nose...did he just jump and come back and laugh at the outcome that he knew?
I'm still waiting for a cheap secondhand DVD of this movie. Watch the movie a few times on TV but I still want my own copy. I give less than 1% of the movies I watch 10/10 points but this one got it.
I like the fact that the only thing I understand is when he says "i dont trust that bastard" and the guy on the phone translates it "he doesn't trust mr. Richard". That's exactly how a real translation would be.
when the director asked him to join this movie, he rejected several times. but one condition he asked was speaking korea in the movie. to give more fear to the scarllett when they speak korean which she never understand.
Ordinarily I wouldn't care for this type of movie but the director is an interesting one and so I gave it a viewing: turned out I more than liked it--I take the opportunity to watch it whenever it turns up. Special effects, plotting and the acting are superior to movies of this genre and the plotting if really creative. The acting is superior as well.
I've been in what were to me quite scary situations before but this...the absolute disregard for life, the casual murder...I'd probably have crapped my pants, then been shot for messing up Jang's chair.
1:16 (Man on phone) Mr. Jang wants to know what's in the case. Lucy: No, I don't know what's in the ca… Do you speak English or don't you speak English? (Man on phone) Yes, I do. I studied 1 year in International High School in New York.
As he obviously would have been living in New York, consider it a year of immersion as well as schooling. More than enough for him to learn English that well, and he could already have had some English before arriving.
Suddenly, Black Panther comes to mind. The Korean woman in Black Panther has the worst Korean pronunciation skills. She said it was because Marvel was trying to hire an Asian actor and taught her poor Korean. I personally think that showing a true native performance with the best actor of that nationality brings out the details of the movie much more. Marvel is somewhat lacking in such details.

Scarlett can act both the extreams like it's nothing. Most scared and most fearless in one one film. Just she is the best
@Paul Hertel watch marriage story and jojo rabbit,she was phenomenal in both
that is ACTING, pure and simple.
@Shark i really don’t think so
Yes, thats what beeing an actor memes
From child actor (Home Alone 3) to Natasha Romanov (Avengers) to Lucy and Ghost in the Machine!
I absolutely LOVE the Lady !!!
Choi Min Sik is such a great actor. I love how Mr. Jang doesn't get the big bad villain introduction, because he doesn't give a shit in this scene. He just wants this ordeal with Lucy off his plate and move on with his day.
And Oldboy just delivers it so chillingly distant
The entire scene is dominated through and through by 'Oldboy' Min-Sik Choi's screen presence. Phenomenal actor.
@Orbán Viktor Mihály She got her revenge on him, and then some.
She became One With Everything, IOW an All-Dressed-Pizza, haaaaaa! xD
His style reminds me of Gary Oldman in the professional
I madly love him 😊😊😊
Scarlett is amazing...but his body language and overall presence makes it complete...both of them did a great job.
I agree.

Are you kidding? That guy is a legend... You didn't see Old Boys?
Indeed.
@@8triagrammer no

Mr Jang is someone you never want to meet. This is first class acting because he scared the crap out of me.
Korean actor is the guy from OldBoy. That’s why he’s chosen for this. You should watch that movie.
The fact that he got a side role is disgusting. I think he's a better actor than scarlet. Dude is an amazing actor.
You also should watch i saw the devil. Minsik Choi is really really famous actor in Korea.

Disagree on the Oldboy take. Personally think his performance in it is one of his best
@@vomitspit1560 his performance in both oldboy and I saw the devil is the best I've ever seen ever. His acting skills is second to none.
So this is Oldboy! I didn't recognize him.
the junkie dude part was sad ,i don't want to become that scares me the shit out of ,i'll stop doing drugs ,this time i mean it ,
I saw the devil is much more chilling

By far my favorite character from this movie. 🤩
My favorite part of that whole scene is that laughing crackhead that had to be shot just to stop him from laughing. That was hilarious. I probably played 5:17 at least twenty times.
Jang is bad guy of Korean gangster Jopok as Yakuza.
Scarlett...what a beauty and a great actress in parallel.
First time I saw this movie I didn't know who Min-Sik Choi was. Now that I do, I paid a little bit better attention to and was impressed by his performance as the villain in this movie.
Watch his all other movies...best actor in the earth
Oldboy just
You can tell by the boss’s actions that he doesn’t have to clean the carpets
LOL
I think he owns the hotel, at least that's the feeling I get buy the manpower and total lack of fucks given
Min-Sik Choi - One of the greatest actors
Scarlett was phenomenal too
Morgan freeman speech about time and cerebral capacity so captivating and interesting
Such a great movie
Choi Min-sik is KILLING this scene. Scarlet got served.
Sick performance of Scarlet in this movie. One of my favorites :)
She's super sexy.
I was glad that I could finally understand Korean from foreign movies. Usually, actors who don't speak Korean were trying to speak Korean in foreign movies especially American movies. So it was extremely difficult to understand what they are saying in Korean even though I am Korean.

The one time it's probably OK to say "I dont want a job."
Somehow I think refusing him is probably not OK.
You might do well to revise that - certainly it was OK to think that - but it likely was very much NOT OK to refuse...
No kidding!
"Hey really great offer...but I'll have to pass.
I'm going to school full time...
And...
I wouldn't be able to give you the level of commitment...
Obviously needed in your organization.
But again, really GREAT offer.

Check out his movie nameless gangster .
Kinda like South Korean spin on goodfellas

One of the best acting scenes I've ever watched.
She is always the best..
Scarlett Johanson and Min-Sik Choi killed it in this scene
4:00 I like how he considers Lucy worthy of not taking these drugs but takes this worm junkie.
Powder? Looks liker huge crystals to me...
It felt like the junkie got some kind of awareness after taking cph4 and he saw how unfortunate she was and laughed .

HOW TF
He said international high school, but it looks like you don't speak English yourself if you couldn't figure that out.
But his translation's all correct.
As he obviously would have been living in New York, consider it a year of immersion as well as schooling. More than enough for him to learn English that well, and he could already have had some English before arriving.
