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)
当然天赋这个东西还是要有点的
“不是成功而是幸福”。喜欢兄妹线，以及养流浪狗的拳击手。细想剧本的走向还是经得起推敲的。
奋斗的过程太真实了，很多催泪环节，景厂长不容易啊，结尾就权当一笑吧，
四星半。需要更多女性电影人加入到那些曾被男性统治的片种里来。
拍得不错，演得更好。真实得血肉模糊的。。。
这次做了一个本地的故事
主流励志片，和“缝纫机乐队”有点像，幸福是奋斗出来的，努力奋斗吧！
非常好，朋友给的免费票看的，没想到这么好。男主身上除了创业需要的坚韧不拔乃至“不要脸”的品质，还有混社会和三教九流打交道的小人物感，很现实，这点丰满了角色。最后危难时刻没放弃的元老员工成了合伙人，甚至最后实现了各自的成功，很不现实，也很画龙点睛，在此点名表扬女员工成立的打工人保护协会！😈
〖20220419〗励志的电影总是令人激动的
“我们的同志在困难的时候，要看到成绩，要看到光明，要提高我们的勇气。”
深圳真是个奇迹之城/每个人物都安排了结局，我真的会恍惚他们是有原型的
当然比起药神还是有所差距 最明显的就是太难以共情 且不说这个拆手机作坊的用处如何 且说这样能做成。我还是对他们之后能成立公司成功报怀疑态度。 当然 造梦嘛 给奋斗者们灌碗鸡汤也是可以。
每个人都是奇迹的创造者，前提是有能力和足够幸运。
电子厂的深漂
很励志 。现实不得不把人逼的很努力很努力才行。绝境中的努力和勇气，能带来希望！再坚持一下，万一呢
文牧野最会挑时机
真的不错，有笑有泪，剧情诉说小人物的故事满分💯努力奋斗有好结果的💪💪
喜欢文牧野 一个把寻常故事拼接成奇迹的作者
从剧本、表演、剪辑都是佳作，只是偏离了现实，观看时非常共情但看完又没那么令人信服
每次看完四字的电影，易烊千玺都变成千玺了，这孩子演技太好，很难不让人喜欢。
