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)
在我特别难受的时候看的，还不错，让我开心了一下
挺逗的。对我这种成天梦游的人来说，很能戳，毫无壁垒。我记得好早之前师哥瞎给我解释“实验影像”的概念，举了个例子：就是一个家具幻化成人，人幻化成家具。看的时候那师哥的胖脸一直在我眼前晃悠。
段子硬挠痒痒肉，本来就是个设定一路绕着治病转特没劲
不过对物品物尽其用和爱惜物品，和最后感觉有一点点相似。
哎，想象力倒是有，就是剧情真是有些难以。。。就这么样吧，拟人化的角色都好可爱
最后的林狗本狗是边牧，台词还有“九亿少女的梦”真是嘿嘿嘿
不知道是不是年纪大了，越来越觉得这样的电影好看了，一个脑细胞都不用，轻松减压。
剧情有些乱七八糟的，不算怎么搞笑，笑点很牵强，片子有些立意，但也讲的不够深刻，😅看的我快睡着了，醒了发现漏掉的剧情也不影响
和静物对话，想法还行，故事情节内容都太单调，没玩儿起来，给我看睡着了。
也就是说只要国产电影🈶热气球这个元素一定不好看的意思？ btw这俩演员我太喜欢了所以能看到最后
结尾有点莫名其妙 其他还不错，就是故事简单了一点，所以显得有点单薄
原本我看到莉莉柯德名字有点子后怕...看完感觉还不错。
开篇很好，很有希区柯克的感觉，后面垮了，结局一点都不意外。
15-70 美国《黄金屋》
张雪峰老师一张嘴那个味就对了，完全是本色出演，嘴皮子功夫真不错。
都是一些很有意思的喜剧演员，真的是拯救不开心😃！！
不算优秀工整的电影，可以一看。
好難看臥槽，快哭了。被超能力設定吸引而看，被俗套爛大街的劇情勸退。
最后想说：幻想是可以有的，但电影还是得踏踏实实做才能做好的[捂脸]
凑合吧，梗明明很有意思，演员也不错，就不知道为啥看着很没劲……中规中矩……老车告别的时候哪怕升华一点点都不至于这么差……
