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)
飞机上看个乐，但也乐不出来啊，这剧情从开头到结尾都牵强地让人难受
挺好的，看了100分钟的Live。无脑享受，甜甜的白日梦爱情，越看越顺眼，磕拉了。
遵Stuckmann旨意去电影院看的，还花的全票价，觉得挺开心的，并从此以后开始祛除此类影片的Chickflick标签（Stuckmann男士说他也喜欢看RomCom）。
不作死就不会死，我现在终于知道是什么意思了。
还不如舞女大盗呢☹️ 期待了这么久，太平庸了
难得有黑人主题的恐怖片，拍的有点感觉，最后的造型看得我这密恐的汗毛都竖起来了
没看 就凭现在最讨厌的政治正确就可以打低分了 垃圾政治正确的电影都是垃圾
光看剧情简介就知道故事走向，搁90年代这部电影简直就是为梅格·瑞恩和朱莉娅·罗伯茨量身定制的，虽然整体氛围还不错，但这年头还拍这样的chick flick真的俗套得太令人尴尬了。
这看来真是，早熟啊！
Sweet and crisp cookies.
231st 冲着JLO在电影院看老妞电影。也是北京封禁40多天后在电影院的首场电影。JLO依然明艳动人，在大屏幕上看不出什么瑕疵。但对金发男主要求也太低了吧，整个肉都松垮快塌了连鼻子都是歪的，都能让JLO心动。放弃能唱会跳肌肉紧实欲壑难填还有拉美大雕的马鹿马简直暴殄天物。
倍速＋拖进度条看完。全剧唯一的印象深刻之处，就是女主演唱会上的婚纱，能不能不要这么紧啊！！！胸都被压平了，副乳也被挤出来了，女主健美的手臂和肩膀真的不适合这种婚纱，可能是为了说明这段婚姻是不适合她的，可前面又特意指出这件婚纱是定做的（所以我就一直纠结为啥要这样安排）婚纱本身非常美，女主也很美，但完全不搭啊。后面穿得不露肩和带袖子的衣服立马感觉瘦了好几个码！！
你拍恐怖片弄那么多隐喻干嘛？废话一大篇，真是浪费时间。
BLM运动是否重新将radicalism放上台面？黑人艺术家如何思考自己的种族身份和叙事方式？艺术家对于gentrification的驱动真的非常感同身受；狂杀白人画廊主和评论家真的好爽lol；个人觉得最好的还是对于机构本身的讽刺—hiring一个新兴minority curator其实只是因为“she has so many stories to tell” （喜欢里面的剪纸艺术品 非常kara walker）
社会的族群议题与类型片的结构粘合非常不错。
就差把BLM打在屏幕上了，揉和了多种热门议题，黑人社区，警察执法，艺术与评论界，话语权问题，以及不可或缺的LGBT元素进行一锅大乱炖
身份设定反传统，故事俗套，他们之间的相处还是比较自然感人的，女权主义，音乐部分有水准，歌很好听，大表姐台风好强爱了。
我觉得好笑的是
都是老的不能再老的梗，还没有添加任何新鲜作料，只会觉得难以下咽。
2022年了这样的剧情未免太老套，男主后段想分手也有点突兀，但是歌曲是真的好听洗脑
