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)
G4结束了，G5直接从零开始也挺好的。歌曲一如既往地好听，而且3D化的小马们看起来手感好好啊。Sunny最后的角和翅膀都是虚影，看来离真正成为天角还有些距离
美国风情画一样的影片质感，味道对了。但是过于刻画女主的际遇和成长，简单的让男主一帆风顺，创业有成，是不是某种意义上的偷懒呢？
剧情并不低幼，还挺内涵。小马又美又萌又可爱，招人喜欢，歌也好听。闺女问我最喜欢哪只小马，我纠结半天选了一个，结果她说，我都喜欢！
首先要讲好故事。（今年奥斯卡提名怎么都又臭又长啊
不错的小品，PTA只能怀旧了，他总喜欢拍几个关于青春性的搞笑镜头
两个生理年龄错位但是心理同龄的灵魂。Quirky, eccentric, sometimes distracted and sometimes defensive，这居然是对爱的描述，可以说很PTA了。总体我还是更喜欢私恋失调，但这片选人太绝了，男生如父如子，女生魅力十足。btw短评里说男性凝视还有种族歧视的朋友们，为什么要看电影，艺术高攀不起你
库珀霍夫曼真像他爸，演技居然还不赖，算是为数不多表现还不错的星二代了。
pta老纯爱战神了；这次美术太疯狂了；中间有一段男主有点老霍夫曼感觉出来很感动🥲
PTA自己应该拍得很痛快，返回七十年代讲述少年与成人阶段间的困惑与犹豫，无奈于幼稚，但成年人的世界却也只是伪装出一副看似成熟的面具。虽然偶尔也能被女主从西恩潘的摩托车上摔下来而男主飞奔向她的瞬间打动，也可以和坐在路边看着十五岁的小屁孩们的女主共情，但受制于时代和文化背景，大部分时间我只能按头让自己沉浸其中。蓝色炫光让人穿越回私恋失调。
cool！生活落败后还有爱情。光鲜的电影、虚妄的政治理想、如水床一般流淌的欲望都不如彼此相拥来得实在
就好比说是一个高级裁缝你让他去做娃娃
当他们谈情说爱
小艺真的太太太可爱啦 一开始都没发现是虞书欣配的 好厉害！
可爱讨巧的地方不能掩盖情节衔接的莫名其妙，still don't quiet get PTA.
迷幻but its not fuckin a chick flick
可以说是导演PTA的一次对70年代美国的私人且任性的追忆，很多年代人物和事件的跨文化梗没能完全理解，甚至有些癫狂过头，不过好在关于青春的展现多少有些共情和感染力，影像的复古质感和镜头的娴熟调度也是一如既往的精彩。
甘草披萨，芝士蛋糕，莫名的就与《在街上》异曲同工了。但明显更能理解亚洲人的爱情观与思维方式。找不到爱情的火花，想不到奔跑的理由。
可以不上学的青春碎碎念，十多岁争强好胜无敌自信的小男生真让人害怕。等他长大了仍旧是：让她陪酒陪演戏的过气明星，利用她的深柜候选人，或者富得流油的恋童癖（BradleyCooper真适合演神经病呀）……“They’re all shits, aren’t they?”，所以结局她还是疯了似的奔向这个15岁就开始渣了的胖男生？！
非常失望。没有我期待的the valley里小小的人。也没有我期待的the valley里巨大的事。要知道Victory Boulevard是会下青蛙雨的。Gary跟Alana要电话号，Alana说了串七位的数字。电话号不该是十位么？哦对这是个关于the valley的故事，所以是默认省略了那三位数的区号？可这是个七十年代的故事，the valley现在的区号是八十年代才开始启用的。818。如今我有了这座城市的密码，却被PTA的LA故事锁在了门外。感觉被背叛了，好伤感
