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)
J LO真的美绝了，什么叫女明星，而且老公不行就要换啊挺好挺好
聖誕閤家歡電影，男演員們都很養眼，各種帥各種甜。
情节老套，看到开头就会猜到结尾，从我爱#那个傻瓜#的角度来看，谁能不爱这种，傻头傻脑的甜蜜呢🤗🤗🤗
scary and funny. Cheap Netflix film
歌好听，人好看，欧文威尔逊作为明星姐夫的气质是很合适的
就是那种看了预告觉得很俗但又冲着JLo忍不住一定要看的电影，里面的歌确实挺好听的。（开头“世纪婚礼”那局促的场馆和观众的反应很难不让我想起当年的周迅……
留学的时候在Providence，恬静美丽的小城市。电影莫名戳中我，因为我也很喜欢摄影。布朗大学很美，和RISD貌似很近。难得在电影中提到自己曾经去过的地方。来个happy ending不好吗，一起去RI读书，想着女主可能在我曾经去过的机位拍照片，然后拉着sky开车去newport走一走cliff walk，在白色沙滩上吹着海风，牵手逛鬼活节。。。导演，你欠我这些镜头！！
挺好的，边看电影边看奥运单板大跳台，错过啥剧情对白都不耽误
男版Notting Hill,歌是真好听，身材也是真好，两人完全没couple感
中年romcom蛮好看的诶！歌也都很好听，JLo状态太好了
不可避免地会被拿来与诺丁山做对比，也毫无悬念地差得很远。作为一部中上的四平八稳的RomCom比k歌情人略强，区别于过去故事的核心在于这是一个前所未有的时代：互联网是如此地无孔不入，名气与影响力从未如此被量化成直观的数据并吞噬一切，在这样的时代里，还能诞生像诺丁山一样，真诚、小心翼翼而又掏心掏肺，可以fight everything的美丽爱情吗？从豆瓣短评来看应该是不太行。这当然有创作者技法上的因素，但也许，这真的不是一个浪漫的时代。
今年的爱情片都好对我胃口！我太爱欧文威尔逊了！特意去翻了一下，曼哈顿女佣竟然已经是20年前的片子了，jennifer lopez看着还差不多哇。
评论区必会出现loads of“Luke我抱走”之类的，所以再加我一个也不为过哈。
Shit movie!!! 前半段还行，后面剧情越来越无语，女主一张丧婆脸，好像全世界都欠她的一样，不知感恩，对养父母态度太差了，抱着小清新爱情片的心态来看的朋友，请止步

让人受不了的反胃，整个剧情和自恋的审美都让人如坐针毡
其实是一部合格的爆米花爱情电影，同样类似的桥段别人都已经可以完全合理男女角色调换了，可能我们的国产爱情片还是仍然霸道总裁爱上我吧
我可能对这种浪漫过敏吧 这男的什么也没对这女的付出啊！这么丑还要洗脑 拜托那是格莱美哎！
u make me believe in happy ending.
心情在“JLo怎么这么好看”与“剧情怎么这么土鳖”间反复横跳
