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)
Dream what is impossible
打发时间还可以的电影。
虽然感觉乱糟糟的，但是主线一直都在，值的观看。
sweet, cute, noisy，爱情喜剧也可以讲述同志故事。
无论同性恋还是异性恋，这个剧情都有点太模式化了呢
我觉得唯一还不错的，说出了很多圈子里的现状，身材崇拜，阳刚崇拜，歧视链各种，还有一点点对感情应该持有态度的思考，不过真的只有一点点。
挺沉闷的一片子，到不知为啥很快就看到结尾了，或许是相同的低谷经历，还是挺享受这一段juorney的。
说实在的，我觉得目前绝大多数同性恋电影里面对同性恋的刻画过于的肤浅，他们拥有好的身材，拥有好的容貌，他们会像野狗一样肆意的放纵自己的欲望。我讨厌这样的描述。这么多年来，我认识的同志大家也会为了容貌身材焦虑，但更多的，我们会重视自己的学业、自己的工作、自己的家庭以及未来规划。
I love adventure/survival films. This film caught the very spirit of the challenge and both main characters portrayed the conflicting emotions and expectations of the experience brrilliantly.
挺好的呀，喜剧，有一丝老套的浪漫，演技可能有一点点缺陷，但是总体真的不错
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。
拖拉，不太能接受。。吐槽就真的只是吐槽，不如拍两姐妹（男主们）的waiters往事呢
拍的很平淡。船长的武断实属不应该，代价便是两人孤独艰辛的荒野求生，生命的摇摇欲坠，以及如影随形深不见底的绝望。全程心疼戏份不多的雪橇犬
我在想如果简奥斯汀知道《傲慢与偏见》要被改编得这样肤浅会不会气的从坟墓里钻出来...
去掉一些刻板印象的话勉强算一部及格的love comedy。杨伯文的演技意外的还不错。
哎，诺亚如果换一个好看的脸估计整体效果好很多呀。评论区有人说的很对了，刻板印象➕只能骗骗深柜看看
很喜欢哈哈哈，难得一见的说出了鄙视链，亚裔竟然是主角哈哈哈！btw，肌肉男的身材真的爱了！！！！
打发时间还可以的电影。
全程都在姐妹磨逼，男主又丑又浪还阴阳，Will成了追剧的唯一动力
真羡慕丹麦人，连荒岛余生都是简单模式。他们有两个人，有用不完的燃料吃不完的食物，甚至还有个安全屋，在北极生活八百多天俩人的胡子都没有丝毫变化，心理上最大的危机是幻想出来一出三角恋，最后被契而不舍的救援队救了。PS：结局处有大船的彩蛋。
