Almost all of Park Chan-wook's films fit the bill. I found Oldboy to be somewhat original in its directorial techniques and specific stylistic choices, as well as the way it handles narration; even I Am a Cyborg... well, that's fine, given the story and the highly distinctive characters, even if it isn't exactly devoid of references to various other films.
By the way, have you seen that American sci-fi from 1916 🙂?

You should probably lecture a little less. Some people actually want to learn something. Just an observation.

Zachary Ward4 said:Yeah, I agree with most of it... But the exaggeration gets on my nerves. All that nonsense about how he's katastrofalan or has zero acting talent.

He isn't a disaster. He’s decent, sure, but he's nowhere near being great.

So, what you're saying is he should have channeled Al Pacino for his roles in The Matrix or A Scanner Darkly?

The comparison to Al Pacino is stupid. When people say Al Pacino or Robert De Niro play the same role every time, they mean they always play mobsters. Keanu is actually identical in every single film. That face, those stiff movements, zero emotion. He isn't a great actor; he's just okay.🙂

Hah. Keanu Reeves is a great actor, 🤣 except he actually has zero acting range. It’s just the same cold, blank expression over and over again.
