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)
想治很深的病，却治拉开了不怎么见血的一刀。
黑人有天生的进化缺陷。
第三人称和史实角度：他们可能只是政治生涯中的一枚棋子，所有人都在迎合政治去下这盘大棋。最后他们输了，或者说他们根本就没赢过，只是平白无故的牺牲。他们证明了什么，但好像又什么都没证明，只留下了若干具尸体。
没有大牌明星与导演，豆瓣介绍里连导演的信息都没有，但不妨碍本片的紧张与思索
在最恶劣的环境中，心存善良，为信仰而战，历史会告诉世人，所追求信仰的对错。
小翅膀啊，我一开始以为我看错了，吻戏让我震惊
很多细节比剧版更精致但是整体起伏太小了，剧版用皇后乐队几首歌串联起来还是比影版更惊艳，情节也更丰满。男女主角虽然更加青春靓丽但演技差剧版一个等级，山田杏奈说台词一直在点头，神尾枫珠哭戏远不如金子大地
作为“革命者”，这几个人太过温和了
自由的代价，是一切。 RIP Silverton Trio
如果世界上没有偏见和歧视，所有人类都团结起来，这个世界会是怎样的？
女孩子无论什么时候都面对着比男性更多的荆棘。好喜欢小杏，美好又温柔的少女。全校大会那段发言让我为女孩子心动又心疼。性少数群体的确挣扎在社会边缘，但是无论如何不该用她人的血来暖自己。结尾解释的一个伏笔有点震撼，其他的没有了。
立意高于剧情本身 整体还可以 演员演技也蛮在线的
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。
剧播的时候就很喜欢这个故事，所以电影也一直很期待。
根据南非种族隔离期间，一桩真实的人质劫持事件改编，不过与当时的实际情况有很大出入，属于对历史的再创作，掺杂了很多剧组单方面的理想化的虚构。
喜欢女主，女孩子们总是善待所有，包括这个世界上不被接受的人和事。
蛮现实的，人人都说“不歧视LGBT”，实际上很多是“与我无关”的不在乎，一但身边存在一部分还是会下意识回避或改变与其相处方式；甚至自己也会小心“划分”朋友中哪个是可以说可以接受的一个。
anna太好了吧，我是男主硬掰也得给掰直了
最后那句问答 自由的代价是什么？一切。曼德拉也是传奇人物
很真实啊。有时候理想是完满的，现实总是交错的、困惑的，而你在其中沉默，被批评，做了道德上“错误”的事，当你自己尚未理解一切。
