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)
特写镜头太美了
看电影的时候，一直想着，电影的配乐与哪部电影有些相似，终于找到，是《薇塔与弗吉尼亚》里面的《Printing Orlando》。
越来越看不动这类电影了，仿佛心灵已然衰老到80岁
没明白为什么订婚了还要让女朋友留下…… 如果信仰令你痛苦是否还要继续信仰呢……
花钱买来看的当然四分 两女主颜值很高 刻板的青少年拉拉懵懂的感情 一下子让人回到少年时代（那时候我也并没有弯）
艹啊没想到《违命》前传这个形容这么贴切，结尾直接无缝衔接
看完后劲有点大，改成五星了。 最近在思考所谓宗教对人的影响和束缚，信教女主她信到什么程度？怎样才算虔诚？她逃脱不了的还有父权压迫的原生家庭。 结尾女主阿姨在车上告别的那段话也让我思考很多，阿姨的内心爱高于信仰，她试图寻求平衡，只不过be还是有她一份力。
这种腻在一起生活 具有相同的价值观和爱好以及相似的家庭背景 再加上只对同性有chemistry 才促成了love is love吧 另外同性之爱就一定是偷偷摸摸的题材吗 希望开放的文明国家能多拍点其他背景的片
3.5星 车后座牵手、厕所背后抱、浴缸的洗礼 性张力MAX “不打算放我走吗”（好喜欢杰米的颜 气质好像我ex 永远爱这类气质的女生
信教信得多管闲事是一种病。剧情好敷衍，结婚生孩子那位的状态好憔悴，导演是不是故意的
以为在蹦床上努力空翻，就能翻过平庸。在泳池里使劲憋气，就会不再普通。最划算的不是逃掉了自习，而是钻进泳池。最珍贵的不是追上了公车，而是没错过你们。最大的收获不是转体三十七周半，而是为平庸且普通的自己努力了一次。我们可以做海洋公园的劳力，被婚恋网站欺瞒，却不能被取消青春的表演资格。
毫无亮点啊，两位女主之间也是毫无火花呀。练接吻都很干。
感觉急转直下开始be的部分有点仓促了，可能因为我最近生活中宗教含量过高，看电影反而不觉得那么宗教，倒是挺真实的。零零碎碎一些话挺好玩的，like“你们两个挺明显的”，“congregation is all we got”…啊！有些后劲儿在的。无关的，看到最后觉得可以看看哥林多前书，怪不得觉得最后quote的话非常熟悉，原来教会墙上挂了那几句。
《违命》前传啊
冬天、钢琴、画画、逼婚、be、限定的时间与环境，以及“那张照片中的岛屿是你最想要去的吗”，可以说是把女同片拍过的又全拍了一边。众所周知，标准答案是不可能有错的，但也不会拿高分，因为我还是希望看到期待视野以外的惊喜。与所有剧作者共勉。
除此之外，吻得很美好，很荷尔蒙。以及

节奏把握很好，和黑人小黑这种才是真友谊的感觉。虽然整体莫名看得要把我掰直了，可能和宗教联系的部分就让人略出戏，最后车里戏份车外美景前后呼应，泪目。。。咱加拿大美景确实震撼，是个适合酝酿美好感情的温床。
It is hard to love bravely.It is even harder when religion mingling with les love in 1991. It is not too young to make a decision but too young to see the truth.
摸着你的手抱住，偷偷牵起你的手并摩挲，加重的呼吸，红晕的耳廓…
