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)
看到三分之二的时候愣是给爷整笑了。就这么放走了警察整个行动的头头？这智商也是没谁了。每个人的动机都不明，此片充分证明了南非电影水平和中国在同一个水平线。
我不了解一个男同喜欢上女生的概率有多少 但从电影里看出的 安藤同学从压抑自己到拆下围在身边那堵墙到可以和周围的人融合 是个自我和解的治愈之路
嗯怎么说？很好的题材的，但是就是感觉没诠释的更好。如果不是三浦很治愈，我大概会讨厌男主。勇敢的说喜欢真好啊
電影其實很簡單，情緒也給予的很到位。但是缺少了這種困境式動作的緊張感，而且角色的成長其實都很突如其來，我不知道這部電影用了多少成本，但其有限的呈現方式，確實看得出電影再處理事件方式上很省略。
“是啊，我是黑人怎么了，就不能呼吸了吗？”
20220519，下载电视看。自由的代价是什么？一切。
影片场景设置有一定特点，整个剧情的发展设置在一个银行圆形大厅里，类似就像设置了一个舞台，剧情的推进也基本以舞台剧的方式，围绕着这个中心的场景发展。
2022049，剧本有些拖沓，如果按照枪战动作片看实属一般，但重点在于对南非的黑人平权运动的一个缩影版的解读，为了自由和平等就要要付出多大的代价
人质中说自己有“黑人情结”的白人女性其实是得了白化病的黑人女性啦
这种电影从电影工业角度没什么可说的，无非就是在有限的场景里依靠演员和矛盾冲突把故事与观众紧密的带入到一起，引起共情，达到最佳的影像效果
南非黑人自由的代价也是一段刻骨铭心的历史，本片的渲染很到位。但最后过分的洗白就有些过了
在“白人至上主义盛行”的国度，黑人肯定是最低贱的，可就算你是身居高位的白人，如果出言不逊，想做埋汰主义的事，那也得死。
这个片最好看的还是友情部分 最喜欢的是男主那个好朋友 真是完全正面的角色 正面且…炮灰 好善良的女主 好善良的炮灰 日本人刻画中学生友情真是有一套的
拥护信仰没有对错，但如果是存在对不同信仰的排他性，而在追求信仰的过程中滥杀无辜，就是罪恶的。
人质中说自己有“黑人情结”的白人女性其实是得了白化病的黑人女性啦
后来过了很久是被纯爱的海报欺骗下载了来看
对于同性恋这种敏感题材，这部电影可以说是非常正能量和政治正确。但真的好伤心呀，周围人对安藤很好，但他内心的失落是永远无法弥补的，这就是命运的沉重吧。
有两处被戳到但是同时觉得日本人对于“普通”的向往难以言喻
What's the price of freedom? Everything!
为了释放一个被关了二十几年未闻世事的人，这个人后来搞垮了南非。。。说明没有文化的人当大官都很可怕哦。
