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)
呸 啥也不是
切 还是有人不懂安全感是什么🙄
电影和现实的区别就是，还爱着的两个人分开了没有人会主动回头迈那一步，错过了就是错过了。
看他俩谈恋爱真的好累…
私以为朋友圈随机抽取一人所讲述的爱情故事都会比这剧本精彩
这是一个以年为单位的爱情故事，不是一年，而且一年又一年。
因为跟项一起看 所以多加了两颗星星 🌟2022/1/1
虽然…但是…已经好过很多爱情片了，但没明白这电影名目的何在，你俩原地结婚好吗！！！
结尾有些刻意营造的大团圆结局，前面还是挺真实的，热恋~疏离
和昨晚看的花束般的恋爱一个理 但拍法和细节都很一般啊
3.5吧。前中段的一些点真的挺戳我的，真的有的地方有些感同身受到。中段的一些争吵点也挺细的，可以感受到编剧确实也有深入发掘感受过的。结局强行he有些不适，但是考虑到这是部跨年剧，也可以理解吧。
虽然挺真实的，但这种流水线式爱情片还是少拍点吧
需要安全感
简直和我人生一模一样，我怀疑你们偷看我生活。
挺尬的。如果不是蔡健雅唱的插曲，就不來看的。
但是分手了就该好好彼此列表化去世
看了半小时，真的觉得男主太丑了。。怎么看得下去的。忍不住，退出了。
前面是很甜 甜到狗粮塞满我嘴
感觉是为了凑cp现攒的本子，甜的地方是真甜，乱的地方也是真乱，只能感慨一句不谈恋爱啥事儿没有。不过氛围还是蛮适合跨年的，两位主演都不错。
男主还是适合演陈养鱼，真的不适合演这种偶像剧情节的男主。
