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)
在一次元和二次元的时间待久了就觉得好像这个世界都接受了同性恋。
另外骗婚这事，就算诚是异性恋，与不爱的人结婚和婚内出轨就不存在了么？我一直在想，把这一类现象按出轨人的性取向进行分类真的有意义吗…
作为改编可能还算不错了，整体还是不推荐给演员粉丝以外的人的类型。
后半段还是有蛮多思考，可能腐女作为爱好的喜欢BL和大部分作为女性的喜欢男生这点本身就是存在矛盾的，但也正是因为不同视角与场景的代入切换才有更多乐趣吧。观看途中一直被现实观点影响，感觉应该更专心一些，拍得还不错。
我不知道答案，我只知道还好有电影，还好有音乐，还好有诗歌，书籍，还好有思想
呵呵，看看南非现在的样子，你们自由了，如愿了，可天堂实现了吗？
和真实事件相差挺大的，加入太多刻意煽情的元素，呈现出来的观感并不令人满意。
后来过了很久是被纯爱的海报欺骗下载了来看
生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。若为自由故，两者皆可抛。所以自由的代价就是失去一切！
在一次元和二次元的时间待久了就觉得好像这个世界都接受了同性恋。
作为少数不被认同的群体也许会很艰难吧
苦大仇深黑哥们的故事快看吐了 再结合南非如今发展的“成果”……
色调感觉越到后边越黑，最近看的神尾的戏没有一个不胳膊骨折的我真的会笑，不知道为什么还是更喜欢剧/那天又看到剧版相关评价 好想看这个影版
总是被感动😭
节奏很好，原型改成女性不觉得是zzzq的妥协，女演员也演得很好。
我不普通？我不正常？
想起小时候看的小人书《斯库台三英雄》。不过，部长女儿主动宣誓入伙，被莫名其妙击毙……后来假白女摘头套与劫持者拥抱……这些情节实在用力过猛、煽情过度了，逻辑不能自洽，我不相信这是真的。
里面的54式手枪和56冲实在抢眼，那个年代tg的革命输出也是有机会让世界红成一片的。
黑人为了自由，为了自身不被种族歧视而抗争之路，在有白人的世界一直那么艰难。这部影片也拍的很真实，充满了人性的张力。《误杀2》似乎和这个真实的故事很有相似。
What's the price of freedom? Everything. Sometimes Freedom costs too much. 然而，我们一往无前。
