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)
就是很奈飞的电影 有趣的故事拍出了无聊的电影
很一般的人质挟持枪战电影。片中警不像警，匪不像匪，人质，，也不像人质。。
每个热爱metal的人都是偏执狂，包括我自己。
前半部分太冗长了，男主的脾气和愤怒也莫名其妙，金属乐包裹下的青春片，一般。
别重金属了，单纯让我磕一磕这一段卡在重金属音乐间格格不入的小清新爱情吧🤘fuck me
能看到又纯又欲的音乐电影只有网飞了 发现对音乐电影很上瘾啊
他们忠诚于自己的信仰，即使下一刻面临死亡，也不伤害平民。
这不太像是金属的反抗精神，倒像是青春期的叛逆。不过最后的比赛曲确实挺炸，提琴竟然拉出了一种类似马头琴的杀气。
片子三星，情怀一星，one STAR for METAL！当失真过载想起时，仿佛回到了自己中学组乐队的时光，一群破孩子只想用金属改变世界。可惜，主音吉他和贝斯为了泡键盘解散了，WTF！几个老炮泳池边出现的那段，直接炸了我去！最后的演出和尾声的排练，帅呆了！金属万岁！
好简单中二…就是乐队➕卷发大提琴女电子提琴真的很难不幻视一些不愿回首的夏天😅
简单、中二 远远超过了预期。 听听bgm 针针扎针 就当去了战国舞台了2022真他娘的魔幻 还我迷笛
Hunter中段solo念白的那段是最精彩的了。音乐还不够重，依旧还是校园题材，充斥着友情、爱情之间的矛盾，总体还是很顺畅。
想起小时候看的南非寻宝记，种族隔离以及大钻石
4-…有不少缺点，但是看得挺开心的，故事流畅剧本颇有新意，用组乐队来表达青春期必不可少的叛逆和顺从，悬念和高潮同时收在结尾一幕安排得挺好
this is adorable as fuck. 短评里嗅到不少 elitism，讽刺的是这恰好是这片想讽刺的。Adrian Greensmith 有 Adam Driver 气质，前途无量。
黑人没有杀死白人，白人却死在了白人手里。善良与爱跟种族无关！
from skullfucker to skullflower is just like from hate to love.
前面节奏有点慢，本来以为会是俗套的剧情，但是却拍出了味道。金属梗可以更多一些哈哈哈啊
挺喜欢那个小女主的啊。。。很有初恋的感觉。结尾这样断腿也太残忍了吧。。。然后拉大提琴真的可以rock的吗？
鼓手打的不错，那套鼓也不错，国内奔着十万以上走吧，主唱片尾的那段solo挺好，然而除上述之外，片子不再有其它出彩的地方。音乐总体一般，完全比不了“重金属囧途”，故事很硬，还选了高中生作人物，整部片子不温不火，没多大意思，音乐也没多大意思。
