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)
很好笑，跟诺丁山一样宅男遇女明星，最反差也最引人发噱的还是和家人聚餐的环节——这跟诺丁山也是一样的，总有这些电影让人感受到生活里的小确幸
喜欢女主，但可能之前演了太多惊悚血浆片，在这部温情喜剧里显得微表情过多且夸张
强行加种族也是这个年代片子的特性了。
出乎意料的我竟然一口气看完了，虽俗套，但是挺温馨的
这女主怎么总是一副没睡醒的样子，看着真让人提不起精神……这反派又是被严重降智，行为简直莫名其妙匪夷所思🤢🤢坏人关键时刻秒变话痨这个万年老梗，怎么2021年了还在用，真是无语😓最后20分钟真是如坐针毡如鲠在喉
虽然假，幸亏结局没有像三星长公主那样发展，只发展友谊，值得来放松看一下（ps：女主身材很好，鼻子有点太尖了）
554 为啥维文拍喜剧片看起来也是cult的表情和动作呢。。
挺有意思的故事，外月圆系列，但是反映了拉丁裔在美国的现状，少数族裔之间的爱情，后段的葬礼致辞十分感人，开放的结局也不至于俗套。
当地居民抗争游行有用吗？不如帮老板娘抓奸来的快。美国群众的阶级斗争任重而道远啊。两个完全生活圈子不同的人做朋友，真是不知道除了抢酸黄瓜还能说什么。3
shitty film for a shitty day
结局居然不是泊车大叔和女明星在一起的俗套剧情，好评+1
好莱坞其实回归这种纯粹挺好的，非常娱乐非常简单，有点造梦，又紧紧抓住“简朴的美好”，这至少是我们最早熟悉的那个好莱坞。不要故弄玄虚，做好原汁原味的“美国梦”，还电影以最本质的造梦功能就好，这种简单的东西看看很开心的，难得了现在。好莱坞，就是干这个的。
先看新版，再看老版，新版骨肉丰富了很多，结局也改的不错，适合周末下午的小品
老辈影迷不晓得见过伊丽莎白赫利 加上90年的玛格罗比 大家都长得很像啊
认为老婆孩子可以拯救一切大龄单身男英雄的想法，简单粗暴又...蠢。
还挺好看的 只是虽然套路了点 还是小小的希望两个人最后是在一起的~好可惜
虽很有美国式政治正确的电影，不过很开心的喜剧
喜欢女主，但可能之前演了太多惊悚血浆片，在这部温情喜剧里显得微表情过多且夸张
主题是 丹尼尔·克雷格 这版恒久不变的【真爱、秘密、背叛】。
老实男终有春天？别白日做梦了，呵呵（苏克雷竟然做了泊车小弟，渣男老婆竟然是老白的小姨子，差点没认出来）
