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)
希望能有一群一起能够长长久久的好朋友，为我们的人生增添色彩
虽然就是很土很俗套，但讲真选角很重要啊！当初看逍遥法外就被Coliver这对迷倒，他来演当代达西简直不要更合适！还有杨伯文从接这个项目开始就应该着手减肥啊！！
根據丹麥的真實故事改編。
再但是，不苦大仇深的LGBT内容，就还蛮轻松的
怎么说呢。我觉得故事讲的不是特别顺畅，很多事情的发生和转折都莫名其妙，人物的动机和改变铺垫的都不好，情绪渲染的也不好，人物塑造的也很失败，大部分主角除了硬贴上去的标签，你都说不出他是个什么样的人。另外这个故事一点也不浪漫、一点也不欢乐，只是模式化的硬套进去了一个既定的故事内容里。最最最想吐槽的就是：最后的happen ending。追船戏码什么的，并没有感觉到浪漫，只是尴尬和无语，纯粹的为了HE而HE。
同性恋≈娘、骚、怪异？
威尔倒是有些禁欲系的味道
花了一个小时45分钟看了一场同性恋名媛与穷鬼的一场邂逅名场面小品，ok也还行，真实世界本来就是这样，只不过再一次更让我看清别进不适合自己的圈子，just like me the guy匹配不上多帅多高多有钱的🫂我还是我，选择真诚的相遇，无论什么职业什么样貌，选择纯真的灵魂伴侣才是最美好的，就像没有相遇那一直想保留这种最美好的感觉，没有半点污浊。
虽然我不大喜欢，但是如此喜剧的方式去勾连性别种族阶级，看得出是有点想法的，但是不知道为啥表现得有点廉价了。
didn't expect to have a cry over an Asian gay adaption of pride and prejudice and now I'm aiming to become Margaret Cho like buy a house on an island and adopt a bunch of gay sons(which I've already done with her✨)
人类在极端环境下装备和团结很重要，意志也同样重要。
终于有个现代生活感的gay故事 Howie需要脆弱的爱情故事 Noah需要open和不传统的亲密关系 都值得在这个一夫一妻制的世界存在
好久没看到这么欢乐的同志电影了…第一次觉得《Sometimes》这么好听，Brithey真gay icon！
以为会扑面而来大量sex scene 结果一个sis让我感动 六月您好啊
2.5。故事本身实在是套路陈旧。意义在于性别或许不是电影的障碍了
不思进取的gay people。酷儿题材进入大制片厂体系也意味着的酷儿文化被好莱坞收编、先锋性失落的必然，其背后是美国酷儿被资本主义机器驯服的现实。纵使再有解构反讽的抖机灵，也不过是回光返照和遗产罢了
去取日志 忘留字条 和北极熊多次相遇的细节
没有报很大希望和老公一起看的，结果还真的挺无聊的。太忙太乱了，大半部电影我都在问谁是Charlie？谁是Max（结果人家叫Rex）。这种当代爱情喜剧我一般当“云旅游”片子看，看看风景和各种室内空间也挺有趣的，这部也没看到啥。奔着Margaret Cho去看的，结果戏份很少。看完才发现John Roberts有客串，还专门倒带回去看哈哈。

太开心了！这是我27年以来最想要的同志片！我就是想有一部像异性恋的甜甜轻松浪漫喜剧电影。这部剧做到了！做到了！没有什么出柜忧伤，没有什么恐同情节。这部电影里的同性恋终于是个人了！
