justice vs revenge

His films, particularly 'Oldboy' and 'The Handmaiden', intricately explore the psychological and moral boundaries between justice-seeking and revenge cycles.

Works like 'No Country for Old Men' and 'True Grit' persistently interrogate whether justice can be achieved through vengeance or if revenge only perpetuates moral corruption.

Films such as 'The Wrestler' and 'Black Swan' examine how the pursuit of personal vendetta destroys the avenger themselves, questioning the cost of retribution.
