Hedonistic and Not For Everyone

Look, this is NOT a short film for everyone. It is a bl (boy lust) series rather than a BL. It is for adults. No romance here just pure animalistic lust. It is very well acted and has the classic 'bad boy' feel about it. We all like to pretend that this type of fantasy would never happen to us as we are sensible, have a moral compass, and have some boundaries. But this short film shows otherwise how easy it might be to succumb to a more lustful nature if the circumstances were right. Seemed almost too easy.

Well that took a turn....

Overall: I'd rate the first part (until 8min 25sec, just end it there, trust me) an 8. It felt a bit contrived but the NSFW was done well and steamy (no fake kissing there). But the 2nd part just took such an unfortunate turn. Also I think a better summary is "a security guard meets a bartender and things go down south" (or was he actually a police officer? I don't know the uniforms...). Watched on Gagaoolala.

Content Warnings: stealing, trespassing, violence, murder?

What I Liked
- the first 8min and 25sec

What I Disliked
- everything past 8min and 25sec, this all seemed so unnecessary and done for shock value

oof...

That was surprising.

What starts as a one-night-stand, awkward testing of interest via small talk and slight kink included, ends as something ... very different.
(tw for violence, maybe murder, rape)

This is only 16 minutes long, and the plot could be summerized in no more than three sentences, but there's so much to pick apart in the characterization of one of the main characters, especially in the second part, that it easily feels much longer.

Everything, from the dialogue (small talk to sex talk to only few words), to the use of space (the short film is only set in the apartment and the short hallway outside, and in the end it focuses more and more on tighter and tighter spaces), the use of light and shadow (brightly lit to shadowy), and to the excellent acting by both the actors -- all of it forces the viewer deeper into the darkness, and in the end it's clear that there will be no escape.

I'd recommend watching this at least once, but only if you're prepared to know that this is not a fluffy piece but a graphic depiction of the lengths an obsessed person will go to get what they want.

Physically wanted to end myself after watching

Though I don't find myself to be sensitive to any topic no matter how gory or disturbing it is, i still found myself traumatized after watching, even though I have seen worse things.

I have never wanted to end myself more from any other series, even big dragon. This has scarred me for life and I will never ever want to see it again ( rewatching this would be pure self-harm.)

Though I like to admit that the story was good it just felt off especially the last scene, like Miss Girl was there really a point to pan at the dead guys face, while they were making out. Another point is what even are their names? All this and I don't even know their names!

This will be permanently stuck with me, every time I see anyone remotely close looking to the Policeman my eyes tear up and I am ready to run and lock myself in my room, go through the pain of remembering the movie and questioning why I am even alive.

This is not a bl, this is psychological horror

At first I was apprehensive to watch because it was a short film, but it's definitely worth the watch

My thoughts:
The story is a bit shaky but it strangely makes sense, the way they subtlety flirted before they hooked up was portrayed well by the actors; the NC scene didn't feel forced and the actors had great chemistry. The police officer did really give off a slight vibe of violence and I was surprised that I was right; the emotion of betrayal and anger protryed by Hao Zhe when he caught Player hooking up with someone else gave me chills, it felt very real, it's the same for the emotion of fear protryed by Ting Chen after seeing the police officer beat up his hookup and the way he moved while opening the gift box then being coerced into sex by the situation felt very real. I also liked how there was no music until the end of the film, it made the whole thing very eerie but in a good way.

Final thoughts:
I loved the acting, the setting is really solid, the mood is a good eerie, and this short film is a work of art. This short film is just not for everyone.
