# None of the other stuff in Oldboy disturbs you?
Is it Japan or Korea (or both) where they eat live octopus, dont remember...

# All of the human violence and death was simulated, and no matter how fucked up the other content, none of it was real.
Several octopus, though, were killed and eaten for real in the takes for that scene. It was unnecessary and I don't see that this sort of thing has any place in a feature film, any more than a few seconds footage showing a live cow being disembowelled in a slaughterhouse would.

# Superstition isn't rational, neither is anthromorphism nor denial.
People who like animals and are upset at their maltreatment, still eat meat.
