Among the pictures sent by the killer Cho Seung-Hui is one of him with a hammer.
This picture looks a lot like a movie poster for a South Korean movie called "Old Boy." Old Boy is about a guy who is in prison for 15 years then gets out and hunts down his captor.
There's also this picture of Cho with a gun to his head.
And this one from "Old Boy." This is less remarkable because the pose is less unusual than the hammer pictures. But together they at least make you believe that he saw this movie and was influenced by it.
According to his former roommates Cho also like the song "Shine" by Collective Soul. I don't think these lyrics were his motivation though, they seem pretty benign. I think I even remember this song being popular ten years ago.
