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)
虽然是歌舞片 但是题材还是有点压抑 还有点沉闷 多多做好身边的事吧
从刚开始唱歌我就喜欢上这部电影了，音乐好好听啊
还是不喜欢这个故事，但是歌曲太过出彩。另，音乐剧不要再电影化了不合适。
歌很好听，主演唱的不错，其实我对于他演高中生接没觉得那么难接受，但故事真的好无聊啊……
给个四分吧，主要是歌都太熟了，基本也猜到故事情节了，我觉得这确实是一部可能音乐剧效果会大于电影的作品（虽然没有看过音乐剧），是觉得剧情上还是分镜上，电影做的其实都非常的粗糙，zoe和evan唱歌那一段我真的，这首歌毁了反正，太尴尬了，还剪辑各种旋转木马。现场就真的唱歌就好了，我觉得这样渲染感情不会太过。anyway，冲着这里面这些歌我还是要打四分
这个剧就是专门为剧粉服务的布景更好的音乐剧，也没有任何更多展开剧情甚至场景。dear小本有艾米亚当斯搭戏了，期待更多大荧幕作品。
流眼泪 但并不是感动的 是困的打哈欠挤出来的
是一个好故事 但作为一部电影本身却无甚亮点
不知道为啥评分这么低 电影还原度很高哇 当然还是希望有官摄 再看还是希望一个小时就应该全剧终 全都是刀 人果然是个需要自我救赎和被救赎的奇怪物种 就是为啥还看见校园里挂blm的标语？倒也不必吧这样的zzzq…
一大早跑去电影院看的 很接近生活 那些琐碎的事 但是这个道理又讲的不深不浅 如果结尾能处理成他的谎言被识破 然后身心重创自杀 其他人的各种反应 冲击力会更大
首先选角我都很满意(除了Connor实在不是很Connor)，剧情基本没有瞎改，其实音乐剧版剧情本身已经很鸡汤了，况且DEH触动我的点是能代入Evan的自身性格，所以其他部分改不改我倒没什么意见。很喜欢的good for you没有了有点遗憾。原创歌曲居然都挺好听，大家演绎得也很棒。
一场盛大的SNS鸡汤performance。。。
影版总觉得差了点意思，不过歌好评，想看官摄了
But keep going.
剧情不难理解，只觉得Connor沦为工具人，实惨，为了歌曲的话我都可以给满分，但其余平均下就四星了
音乐剧改编成电影一直都是有困难的，这次的改编虽然算不上惊艳，但也勉强及格。多了两首歌好像
因为是热门ip，导演一定会被束缚手脚。粉丝千呼万唤的名场面大神曲一个也不敢落下，到改编得太差了：视听语言极其枯燥乏味，根本没有发挥出电影这种媒介的特性；演员都是好演员，但表演也千篇一律，明显是导演没调对。这样改真的不如别改了，直接像Hamilton出官摄更好。
这真的是一场灾难。。。我今年期待的所有东西都没有收获好结果，我好痛苦。
2.平时背景音全无，突然有伴奏你就知道要跟唱了这种感觉很诡异。
似乎是认定了看这部电影的只有音乐剧观众了。
