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)
这是西餐妹的Dream fantasy吧。gay version of “pride & Prejudice”
情节没有什么特别的，但是在情怀的表达上真情实感，是一个优秀的续集电影。ghostbusters的粉丝看了肯定很感动。对比隔壁黑客帝国就能知道什么是一个主创想拍，一个是被拿刀架在脖子上拍续集了。

“傲慢与偏见”一样的同志爱情，注定是脱离现实的空中楼阁，不接地气也不感人，不是观众太世俗，而是创作者太不现实了。

麦肯娜演技依旧很棒，特效也很棒。就是没必要为了强行“政治正确”而安排几个主角
剧情很低幼 最后老爷子们出场还是蛮泪目的 for Harold
旁白串联的电影总不太妙，不过各色主角们共通的那点不安自卑，很是共鸣。
这段期间最喜欢的商业片 结尾真的感动到了 情怀拉满
无论你是来看帅哥美女还是来找乐子，你都能如愿以偿。
P&P fan fic made by my parasocial besties, for me🥺
完完全全同志版傲慢与偏见啊，这种叫改编还是叫啥呢……期待过高结果发现果然同志喜剧依然难做，尺度也没啥，颜值也没喜欢的，也不安排个奶狗角色
完全没想到是如此惬意又细腻的片子。我理解Noah理解Howie理解岛上的每一个人，就好像理解自己那样，所以感动、快乐和一些忧伤都丝丝入扣。如果说开去的话，05年的《断背山》还因为非主流的同志议题拿不到奥斯卡BP，短短十几年过去，美式同志片已经发展到如入无人之境，社会确实在进步啊。
I'm like Howie without meeting Noah or Charlie....
我觉得好喧闹，虽然我不反同但是我真的对这部电影无感。
挺好看的，有种《怪奇物语》的相似味，通片都是对旧版的致敬。菲比的Nerd角色相当的有灵性，拯救世界果然还是要靠12岁的少年们！
拍的实在太难看了，明明有情怀、有彩蛋、有老演员回归、小演员们也演技在线，所有能炒出一道美味佳肴的材料都准备好了，可最后却炒出了一坨雪特。
小女主以后一定大有可为，无论颜值还是演技，完完全全在线拯救了整部电影，其他人都成为了工具人。这种爆米花电影和稀烂的剧情编导，我还以为是奈飞出来的。
没看过老版实际看还是挺新鲜。美国捉鬼也是玩的高科技。“只有母亲。”潜台词“你这个学生我教定了”
比尔莫瑞四五十年前演的超能敢死队我是没看过的，直接看了这部2021年的《超能敢死队》，倒是也蛮欢乐。
