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)
这男的简直是疯狂蹦我雷点，人家多好一姑娘啊！道理确实很简单，然而，要去理解彼此依旧艰难，但，致所有为这一美好理想添砖加瓦的人，理解，万岁！
看神尾这副样子别有一番风味。。。suki🥹
自由的代价，，很高！！为了自由！！保持坚强！！
审判完了…分两顿饭看完的 两顿饭之间隔了几天这样吧 看到第一顿饭为止都很沉重 看得我大呼重い 然后就搁置了 今天闲下来继续看 后半段比前半段轻松不是一点两点 也不是轻松 就是 有点日式明日（あした）的感觉 一切迎来转机和希望吧 不过在我看来这个明日也挺政治正确的就是了 且现实 任何一点小的进步都需要付出血的代价
为了释放一个被关了二十几年未闻世事的人，这个人后来搞垮了南非。。。说明没有文化的人当大官都很可怕哦。
把反派描写的越无能，正派的光辉和伟大就越显得可笑！观看过程中无数次呈现这一疑问，总感觉这部根据真实事件改编的电影描写的如此不真实，包括很多绑匪与人质之间的互动一眼就能看出艺术夸张。了解了真实历史事件后果然证实了这一疑问，其实没有线人，也没有司法部长女儿做人质，就是强攻，三名绑匪和两名人质死亡，这也是许多电影不如本身真实事件来的精彩的主要原因！
想着如果能了解一些也能多一些尊重
南非真实历史值得了解，但是这个拍的就是有点老套了。
色调感觉越到后边越黑，最近看的神尾的戏没有一个不胳膊骨折的我真的会笑，不知道为什么还是更喜欢剧/那天又看到剧版相关评价 好想看这个影版

整部电影恐怖分子一直站直正义，搞不懂被挟制的人质各种作死
Everything.
2022049，剧本有些拖沓，如果按照枪战动作片看实属一般，但重点在于对南非的黑人平权运动的一个缩影版的解读，为了自由和平等就要要付出多大的代价
南非的种族矛盾非常的激化，电影其实表现了部分白人开始有意识的想要缓解这种矛盾，说到底是因为压迫造成了这样的流血事件，就像当初的我们一样。人没有贵贱之分，无论肤色，民族，国籍，性别，老幼。
黑人兄弟也有原则有热血 #自由永远不是免费的
小翅膀把一个渣男演的又甜又老实让人有一点向往是怎么回事（x），尺度戏也很到位，不错不错。男主该说是角色设定不讨喜还是演技问题呢，反正我觉得就是块木头，翅膀配他可惜了。。。。。。（勿杠你对）
男男，女女，男女，所有的爱情都雷同，只是有些人要隐藏一辈子！！！
真是一个宝藏女孩！
一开始的枪战其实拍得不错，但全片的问题在于有点前后不搭调，释放曼德拉的诉救求是半中间才出现的，所以片子有了割裂感。
想起小时候看的小人书《斯库台三英雄》。不过，部长女儿主动宣誓入伙，被莫名其妙击毙……后来假白女摘头套与劫持者拥抱……这些情节实在用力过猛、煽情过度了，逻辑不能自洽，我不相信这是真的。
