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)
早上一个人看了一遍，晚上邀请夫人一起又看了一遍，游走在泪奔的边缘。本以为是久别重逢，结果又失恋了一次。相见时难别亦难，东风无力百花残。
老友记不只有风流趣事，更有生活乐趣与成长道理。
剧是几个“friends”萌发了做一部这样的喜剧的想法；拍“friends”的过程中，主演们十年朝夕相处，一起经历由默默无闻到世界成名，成为了人生中的“friends”；而这部“friends”带给粉丝们的快乐和希望，又让全世界的影迷把这部剧和这些角色当成了自己内心的“friends”，谢谢款待！
钱德勒乔伊都发福成这样了，莫妮卡也是老的明显，时间过得好快。回忆经典的片段，拿出来重新整活，演员跟编剧的配合，相当完美。对他们来说，拍摄老友记不只是工作，也是人生，对影迷来说，陪他们一起笑一起哭，真是美好的旅程
算是圆梦之作吧，此生怕是六人最后的重聚了，人生匆匆啊，他们老了，我们这一代长大了，再回首呢，老的是我们吧
罗斯:为大卫量身定做的，负罪的可怜表情，当时在演戏剧。我本以为他是纯情老实书呆子，谁知后面女友越来越多)
这大概就是情怀吧，看老友记欢笑过的人难免会被打动。17年过去，主演一举一动仍像剧中人，让人回忆起当年追剧的快乐时光。
记得每一句台词的感觉好棒啊！这也太好哭了！
改天重温原剧，大概会是十五年里的第八遍。人类共通的情感。
是演员、剧组人员对青春的怀念，是对所有人青春的怀念
笑中带泪，悲喜交加。既能享受他们重聚带来的喜悦，又得再次承担他们离开带来的失落。《老友记》情景喜剧中永远的神。
告别总是百感交集。以为会看到六人组二十年后人生继续，结果是集真人秀。也好，Joey挺着个大肚子走进棚里憨笑的时候，He’s the Joey.
记得每一句台词的感觉好棒啊！这也太好哭了！
They were also my only friends. BTS as bonus now :))
当这部剧集成为文化现象后影响地球十几年，用不着原班人马自我展示全球化的具体成果，那种感觉就是，WTF？究竟在搞什么？
More Than Words ~ 相比十几年前在罗湖买盗版DVD，能同时同步在腾讯视频看到是有多快乐！
早起刷回忆
I will always love these friends
以十季加特辑的方式完成了隔壁美剧「Six Seasons and a Movie」的梦想，其实多数美剧或美剧迷们都渴望能有一次这样久别重逢的机会吧。时间真神奇。
罗斯对当初布景的点评，提到机位，可以看出这是他后来转型导演的影响
