}} ''Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance'' (; lit. "Vengeance Is Mine" or "Revenge Is Mine") is a 2002 South Korean film directed by Park Chan-wook which follows the character Ryu trying to earn enough money for his sister's kidney transplant and the path of vengeance that follows. It is the first part of ''The Vengeance Trilogy'' and is followed by ''Oldboy'' (2003) and ''Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'' (2005). ==Plot== Ryu (Shin Ha-kyun), is a deaf-mute man working in a factory to support his ailing sister (Im Ji-eun), who is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. As Ryu is not a match, and he is laid off from his job, Ryu contacts a black market organ dealer, and agrees to exchange his severance money and one of his own kidneys in exchange for a matching one. The dealers perform the operation, but disappear after taking Ryu's kidney and money. Three weeks later, Ryu learns from his doctor that a donor has been found, but Ryu is unable to afford the operation now. In need of money for the operation, Yeong-mi (Bae Doona), Ryu's radical anarchist girlfriend, suggests Ryu kidnap the daughter of an executive that fired him: they then kidnap Yu-sun (Bo-bae Han), the daughter of executive Dong-jin (Song Kang-ho) (a friend of Ryu's ex-boss, so as not to raise suspicion). The girl stays with Ryu's sister, who believes Ryu is merely babysitting her, and Ryu and Yeong-mi collect the ransom from Dong-jin. After collecting the money, Ryu finds his sister discovered his plan, and that she committed suicide. Finding her suicide note, Ryu learns she felt she was the cause of the kidnapping, and killed herself as she didn't want to be a burden or involved any further. Ryu takes Yu-sun and his sister's body to a suburban riverbed they used to frequent as children, and begins to bury her. Distracted by the burial and unable to hear, Ryu is unaware when Yu-sun slips into the river, and only finds her after she has drowned. As Dong-jin mourns his daughter, he hires an investigator to help find Yu-sun's kidnappers, and realizes those he laid off may seek revenge. Meanwhile, Ryu locates, ambushes, and murders the organ dealers. Dong-jin, receiving help from several sources, finds Yeong-mi and interrogates her using a makeshift electric torture device. Yeong-mi apologizes for Yu-sun's death, but warns of a terrorist group she frequents that will find and kill Dong-jin if he doesn't spare her; unfazed by Yeong-mi's threats, he then electrocutes her. Ryu returns to Yeong-mi's apartment building and discovers the police removing her corpse. Dong-jin's investigator is informed that Yeong-mi's "terrorist group" consisted solely of her. Ryu and Dong-jin wait at each other's residence in an attempt to kill the other. Ryu, being the first to return home, is knocked unconscious by an electric booby trap on his doorknob set up by Dong-jin. Dong-jin then binds Ryu and returns to the riverbed and brings Ryu chest-high into the water. Dong-jin, upset due to his actions, acknowledges that although Ryu is a good man, he has no choice but to kill him, and slashes Ryu's Achilles tendons. He then waits for Ryu to bleed to death. Dong-jin drags Ryu back to shore, dismembers his corpse, and begins to dig a hole, but a group of men arrives. Surrounding and stabbing Dong-jin repeatedly, the group fatally wounds Dong-jin by pinning a note to his chest with a blade. The note revealing them to be Yeong-mi's terrorist group, the group then leaves Dong-jin dying beside his car with the bloody tools and bags containing Ryu's body. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
