Police investigating the Virginia Tech killings are looking at whether Cho Seung-Hui was copying parts of a violent film when he murdered 32 people.
Officers believe he repeatedly watched Oldboy as part of his preparation for the killing spree.
The film, which won the Grand Prix award at the 2004 Cannes film festival, has been described as "an ultra-violent movie of obsession and revenge".
It contains stylised scenes of killings and an attempted suicide, and is filled with what one critic called "punishing emotional violence".

Maybe we can get the liberals to ban guns in their movies, what do you think?
Old Boy is a South Korean film.
Wow! SKYNews sure publishes some $h!tty headlines.
Let me be the first to call for tighter restrictions on Video control!
There should be a Video registration database, everyone should have a 5 to 86 day waiting period for purchasing/renting videos and all Video content must be approved for by the ‘its for the kids’ approval board!
Libs make movies. They say that the movies don’t cause violence. They say that TV shows don’t encourage behavior.
YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT? Millions are spent on TV commercials which are made for the express purpose of changing behavior! Products are placed in movies for the express purpose of causing people to run out to buy them. It is obvious that movies and TV influence behavior.

copycating a good thread--
A re-enactment . . .
So, we need movie control?
Violent movies may or may not cause violence but they can desenythesize (sp?) a person to violence. Lots of kids watch that crap and instead of showing disgust or repugnance at real acts of violence they just utter "cool". I always hated and still hate violent movies. Maybe that's just me.
That is funny, isn’t it. If a character smokes a cigarette in a movie, it automatically makes kids go out and buy cigarettes, so liberal activists want to forbid the depiction of smoking in films or force the film to be rated R or NC-17. But depictions of violence are OK. Sex is OK. Cigarettes are the worst thing in the world.
Libs say that sex and violence and profanity and drug use in films don’t increase such activity in society but they DO believe that smoking in movies contributes to a culture that believes smoking is “cool”.
I just watched the video this lunatic made (after wiping off the drool from NBC)...Did he make this after shooting the first two people?
I ask, because I just can`t believe it. It just boggles the mind how this school could just be so incredibly non-chalant, so security free like this.
I mean we`re talking about a double homicide here and they just la di da around? Say WHAT? I tell you, it doesn`t suprise me in the least though considering what political slant most if not all colleges are today. “Two people were killed but make love not war man!”
Well, bully for him.
That’s “Killer Cho!”
You are correct. Every dispicable act in the movies is okay, but heaven forbid someone lights up a cigarette. P.S. I am NOT a smoker.
“The film, which won the Grand Prix award at the 2004 Cannes film festival”
Let’s do a Chris Dodd and tax the motion picture industry to provide protection for the rest of us.
“la- di- da”?
Within minutes they secured the crime scene and after interviewing the residents on the floor established the identity of the most likely sispect...dead girl’s boyfriend.
Within a short time later they had him stopped in his pickup on the 460 bypass...and were questioning him when the actual shooter showed up at Norris Hall.
I still have a problem with the campus not being totally informed but with 10,000 commuting off campus students en route as well as faculty onto a campus with multiple entry points thats a mighty difficult operation .
But I hardly think your “ la -di- da’ing “ description fits. Maybe you’ve been listening to Geraldo too much.
