Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
基友版爱情小品剧，有圣母的主角和超帅的渣男，看着欢乐还有童话结局。开心就好
老套又暖心，很吃杨贺文和oliver（原谅我只记得他叫Oliver） 不过真的想看Zane和Matt那段视频完整版😶
有snl的杨博文我才特意去看的，没想到剧情这么无聊，人物这么扁平化，两星还是看在它名字上加的，属于你一眼看到开头就能知道结局的标准老式喜剧大团圆结局，但是又很无聊😔
除了讲句陈腐也没那么糟，不过换个思路陈腐不就是糟？
想表达“标签”和叙述道理，但脑子总被吵闹，前者还好，后者无法耐心理解。吸东西犯了错，不去真正的反思，还要再一次的吸，我可能不懂有多上瘾，我只看得到颓废和单纯为了兴奋，感受不到其他什么东西。强行he太牵强，第一次觉得无聊，让我稍微有点起伏的，只有Oliver和Dex.
量产品，人物扁、剧情死、视听僵、发展和主题全靠台词，刻板形象多得可唯恐同。
老实说一开始能看，出去探险寻找石标，回来之后就没法看了，什么船员跑了，然后两个人挨了几年。。。中间还一度以为看了精分片，熊也只顺带出场，没头没尾的。要冒险就好好的，半途而废就很奇怪，改编也不要太老实了吧
一片白茫茫的800多天……精神没有失常……真的很不容易……事件本身挺伟大的，中间拍得有点平庸。
看之前没看简介，看的时候发现了各种pride and prejudice的reference 笑的要死
火烧岛？❌
冲着北欧冰原风景去的，但是拍摄手法实在平常，剧情和视觉都没调度妥帖。
《关于都2022年了我还是每看一部通讯录浪漫剧都想要重温LOOKING这件事》
近几年日常生活的剧太少了
中规中矩，大段大段的旁白，代替了故事情节。本意识到自己不能将想法强加于他人之上，却无意义中还是用旁白输出了自己的想法。
看到最后，长舒一口气。雪地有盲视，还有幻觉。
某种程度上的性转傲慢与偏见（Will could never be the top）
请拍一部《我的天才基友》
非常Pride and Prejudice甚至到雷同的地步，结尾很难不联想到糟糕的white savior complex以及romcom都有的俗套桥段。但还是想给五星。They r queer, they r here, get used to it.
无论同性恋还是异性恋，这个剧情都有点太模式化了呢
看開頭以為挺無聊的，但是堅持十分鐘之後收獲爆笑😆😆喜歡Noah對諷刺他的人的反諷。一群sisters又mean又warm。整體故事其實挺九十年代姊妹淘風格的。放棄性別條條框框，會有更大的視野。PRIDE MONTH值得擁有這片子。
