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)
咱就是说非常的简单且俗套的剧，但是轻松愉快。
很简单很甜蜜的故事
Christmas film 就别挑太多剧情硬伤啦，总之看得挺开心的🎉
剧情就很一般咯，主要是为了看Sofie来的 哈哈。意外发现Nick很帅很暖，喜欢。 最重要的是，这种家庭氛围，好羡慕☹️
就一很普通的圣诞喜剧电影，只不过里面全员嗑男男CP。
2.5🌟给曾经丑女贝蒂里可爱的“毒舌”GAY和圣诞气氛。男主老了呀！圣诞合家欢电影，但剧情太无趣，两人完全不来电就是朋友。
男主可爱，但是lgbtq…值得更好的假日电影
故事老套，虽然黑白配但是黑人小哥太tm养眼了！
我的共鸣点现实生活中也有很多人以朋友的名义爱着另外一个人，无论是同性还是异性
超级超级老套的爱情片，但是居然也看完了，给三星有点高。
谁能想到是看着这部电影跨了个年呢，可能真的要 single all the way 了吧
虽然不是在圣诞看的但假装是在圣诞看的还是会让我很开心
9年挚友终成眷属，撒花！本片全员优秀，氛围温馨，很棒的圣诞电影！
圣诞节电影又开始了。每次看到这种有大红蝴蝶结的海报，都感觉能闻到浓浓的肉桂可可的味道。
像直人写出来的剧本，男主太符合stereotype的gay了，剧情莫名其妙，演员演技也烂。

Single boy single boy single all the way, going back for Christmas hey let’s all be gay ～～尤里小哥笑起来都有鱼尾纹了～圣诞季就应该搞这种甜腻腻双向暗恋亲友助攻的老掉牙小甜文儿～J姐一贯承包金句“世界是舞台，人人没彩排”～麦当娜和小甜甜的引用很基很贴切喜欢💕
把同性cp换成异性cp组合 就是最常见最老掉牙的剧情
