Bloody South Korean movie inspires Virginia Tech massacre - Pravda.Ru

Bloody South Korean movie inspires Virginia Tech massacre - Pravda.Ru: "It added to the debate over the influence of pop culture on heinous crimes that one of the photographs in the Virginia Tech killer's 'multimedia manifesto' may have been inspired by a bloody South Korean movie."

"'Oldboy', from the respected director Chan-woo Park, is about a man mysteriously imprisoned for 15 years. After escaping, he goes on a rampage against his captor. In one stylized and plainly unrealistic scene, he dispatches more than a dozen henchmen with the aid of a hammer."
