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)
我觉得比期待值更高。女主和男主正巧分别是在dating里欺骗内在和外在。其实女主说男主盗用photo欺骗的是identity，是piece of fiction的时候，她自己在Tag面前展示出来的只有容貌是真的，意外的还挺深刻的。关系里面保持真实最重要。我不知道是否人终其一生会有个perfect man，但是能找到一个自己觉得perfect的imperfect man也很难吧。
jimmy去学个表演吧。。。也不能老是面瘫一招鲜啊。。。
好老套的一个故事，欧阳万成good job
已经看上热乎的圣诞片啦！老套又很喜欢，看着开心哈哈哈哈哈哈！
很适合节日看的romcom。可惜男女主完全没有火花，最后kiss和之前说男主眼睛好看那我不厚道地笑了……哎。
爆米花电影，华人跟白女搭配这个我觉得电影所需，但我没懂即便在国外长大的华人也对圣诞节这么热衷的吗？
感恩节看了一半，自己把剩下一半看完了。这个电影理应是个烂俗电影，剧情就是很白人女爱上亚裔男，但是不知道为什么看到后面还觉得很可爱。和看《喜欢你》一样，明明知道是烂片但是看到最后就是很开心。莫名其妙戳我的点🤷🏻可能我确实隐藏了一颗少女心
好喜欢欧阳万成啊，有趣的灵魂，太逗了😂。就他这个出场造型，任谁看了心中荡漾的背景音乐都会戛然而止吧。林家人太赞了，温暖的家庭，温暖的圣诞节，从不责怪孩子，唯有支持。“ Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” 梵高的格言，翻译的是“不积跬步，无以至千里”👍。
中间剧情确实是烂，但是我好喜欢这个故事啊，这个结局我太满意了
我真是，總覺得Jimmy臉沒表情時下一句出來的話是Chinglish accent的Jian Yang 😂😂exchange his character for a white nerd you'll have yourself a cliche Hallmark Christmas movie 🙄🙄
挺无语的，男的拿照片骗了她，还跟她说了，没想到跟她有进一步，结果女生后面还爱上他,爱上这个男的就真的无语了..如果你过去被拐卖了，那就是另一个故事了 只能说:网恋需谨慎.
Jimmy O Yang太没有男主相了…完全跟大美女Nina不搭…
又是一个假装爱上了就可以忽略所有问题的故事
"Don't be afraid to be you"
个人觉得Josh真的比Tag有魅力多了好嘛 结尾呼应了love actually
R/asianmasculinity 估计要炸天了 感觉要有屌丝分析攀岩场景 很难想象如果情节上性别倒换一个亚裔女去到一个白男家会是什么歧视+mircoagression
为什么被catfiah的人要来道歉 无语辣！
这两年真的是亚裔大年，故事虽然很俗套，但荧幕前AMWF的组合越来越多也是好事情，继一条狗的回家路，去年圣诞节, All my life之后又一对AMWF，而且这次AM还是个其貌不扬的nerd，网飞继续加油！
Lake Placid does not have that kind of an airport!!! says someone who spent 2 years of high school there......然后很多场景明显也不是在Lake Placid......但看到有些熟悉的地方还是很怀念高中时光诶！虽说是非常cheesy的圣诞电影，但致敬Love Actually还挺不错（就是喜欢不行吗！）
Nina Dobrev还是那么美😍Darren Barnet已经变成chick flick hot guy专业户了吗哈哈 鬼知道最后致敬love actually那一段我哭得有多惨😭ps.美国人真的11月开始过圣诞🎄实锤 pss.真正的幸福是从爱自己开始的（百说不腻的鸡汤
