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)
corny but still kinda cute
男主rif对比老版毫无男性气概，声音又难听，鲨鱼帮老大也不如老版的有气质。实在是年度翻拍灾难。
最佳女配，个人觉得还是可以认可的。毕竟，从人物的心路历程来看，确实是女配比女主情感更丰富更有层次。
搞不懂斯皮尔伯格为啥要翻拍西区故事，新版比起60年前的老版，不但唱的不行，跳的不行，编剧不行，视效不行，摄剪音不行，服化道不行，而且演员还又丑又笨，据说成本超1亿美元，就为了凸现最后一刻的族裔和解？
故事是真的狗血，但是别的方面又十分好看，单拎出来几个片段可能比看完全片的感受要好很多。
可是男主没有好好道歉过啊。为什么engagement party上是女主单方面道歉啊。题目倒是挺好，Love Hard 跟《虎胆龙威》Die hard 对应上了。
B- 《罗密欧与朱丽叶》两个家族间的无端仇恨，在此写作不同社会结构下的弱者们的悲惨内斗。美梦与爱情一齐下落，审判的枪口却未能指向罪魁祸首。莎翁的故事也许需要一个这样的现代重绘，但百老汇的形式也许是其无奈的阻碍。若是当作斯皮尔伯格的影像调度教案，完美是唯一的形容词汇。
America还有体育馆斗舞都拍得很好看！但这个故事本身是不是太有问题了？？大概原来的创作者只是想找一个现代载体来改编罗密欧与朱丽叶，波裔移民与白人的矛盾只是制造冲突的引擎，他们不关心塑造出来的角色在这个身份载体上是否合理。不知道当年的观众反应如何，我在2022年看这种故事反正觉得挺不适的。
2.5 男女主其实台词念得还行，就是歌舞和面部与动作表演全无。剧情上跟贴近一点现代，但大致没变，也没有有心意的地方，总体还是拉！
给五星因为感觉我的某位前男友被演活了，我真的好特么喜欢欧阳万成这种男生……善良害羞又很会聊天是一种该死的魅力
就很流水线但是还可以哈哈哈哈哈哈至少不难看，虽然太过好莱坞PC童话，为了欧阳才看到嘻嘻
……我以为自己什么歌舞片都喜欢，谢谢您，我错了
鬼娃Chucky热舞有点厉害，爷爷蜡烛有点感人，《Baby It's Cold Outside》改成《Maybe Just Go Outside》有点好听，Yippee-ki-yay, motherf$cker！ asian hate crime 之后的政治正确电影，感觉在某种层面政治很不正确，但确实开心；McG 制片娱乐性有保证
网飞能用大数据算法砸钱拍爆米花动作片，就也可以同样套路地拍合家欢节庆片。去年的那部虽然是拉拉情侣但家庭戏处理太糟，这一次同样pc的亚男配白女，但显然剧本上稳妥了很多。白眼虽然还是没少翻，但也可以打发时间看一下。
罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事恐怕真的过时了，一见钟情和族群背叛都像是熊孩子恋爱脑，很难动人，而且男主角肉眼可见的不行。就全当来欣赏新晋最佳女配了吧。
Love Actually絕對是最難看的聖誕電影不能更同意
【7.5】没看过原作，就是爱情在现实环境下如此之难的那点事，毕竟是老故事了。又是一次精致的怀旧，技术层面基本无可挑剔，评分可见国内外文化差异之大，对部分国内观众来说，可能没什么可以再吸收、共鸣的元素，相当于看了个寂寞。
看得我直挠头，不能说很差吧，难道是我没看懂吗…
我试图尽量不用现实主义电影的评价方式去理解歌舞片，但是当女主角在哥哥死之后马上和杀人凶手睡了然后还和嫂子说“you should know better”之后，我真的白眼翻到了天上。其实斯皮尔伯格的技术和完成度的基本盘是稳定的，镜头摄影场面调度都很教科书，只是他没有处理好故事和媒介以及故事和当下这个时代的冲突。
镜头调度和几场歌舞表演都不错，但观感很糟糕，其一是西区故事（罗密欧与朱丽叶）这个剧本放到现今看老派又守旧，观众不仅无法共情还会满脸问号..其二是男女主的演绎都令人失望，唱、演双重糟糕。
