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)
Metal will live on
朋友推荐给我的，说我肯定喜欢。一看封面我还以为是之前看的欧洲人拍的重金属在囧途，后来发现不是。看完就....感觉挺套路的吧，也挺平的。感觉就是标准的歌舞青春式青春片套了一个金属的壳子，真喜欢金属的感觉很难找到共鸣吧，主要还是青春片。一样是音乐青春片，几年前的初恋这首情歌给我的感觉要好不少，至少没这么套路化。而且....额....就最后表演的歌来说应该不算post death doom吧....就标准重金属而已...额....总之就....一般
看完才知道是真实事件改编，南非第一位黑人总统曼德拉上位前搞得黑人运动，被捕，手下的小弟们还在积极搞着“恐怖袭击”以求黑人被公平对待。在一次秘密行动被同伙泄露，失败逃亡的路上，阴差阳错的躲到了银行并劫持了人质。有一些小伏笔，司法部长女儿和黑人血统却装白人的女士，都深刻解释了他们为什么这么做，很深刻。
大提琴的加入，简直是神来之笔！！！[U R my happy pill]好甜！！！
蛮可爱的，这个评价很不heavy metal，哈哈哈。大提琴姑娘好可爱
这么客气讲道理通情达理不生气的匪我也是第一次见

故事核心还是个校园片，才知道马友友原来这么厉害
逃离吧，跑得远远的，最远的地方就是那人群中，往那儿去吧
超燃的。重金属就是要这样有点聒噪，有点幼稚，关键是要趁着年轻离经叛道。
四个大佬在泳池边客串的时候太惊喜了
中二热血的青春谁不爱呢？结尾还有点小燃、
好久没看到这样的摇滚青春片了 传统故事但是大提琴的结合 里面的音乐 摇滚的展现 都让人好喜欢啊 演员都好帅啊
很燃，燃到爆！！！这才是青春！Rock never die！
自由的代价，黑人主演那种绝望中硬撑中狠厉，太让我印象深刻了。南非，如果有机会想去看看。

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。
轻松愉快的小品级观影体验，不了解金属乐相关内容也能看下去（当然了解一些的话乐趣更多)，男女主CP挺甜。
电影拍的再装逼，如果不解决这个bug，就是垃圾电影，就是装逼的电影，就是一个扯淡的电影。
你不是一个错误，别让他们纠正你。最后一曲为电影拉回一星，女主的演奏美到我灵魂出窍！
