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)
只是不一样的人生路，不再被觉得励志什么的。
故事和节奏是剧本的锅。
我还以为那个山洞跟老人的某种器官是相通的😂实景拍摄也是很厉害啊
魅力主要還是真實故事。亞特蘭大拍得很好，中段拍得還行，最後部分完全失控，沈悶至極。3.5星。

BJIFF/寰映/竟然比我想的好看很多。伪纪录片式故事片。

一部杜比全景声在杜比全景声影院🎥，画面和音效简直太棒了。影片非常喜欢，看完后每个人都能有自己解读，开放性很大～
#NYFF59# 总的来说是部需要放下思考，纯靠直觉去感受诗意的片子。镜头美是真的美，慢也是真的慢……前三十分钟看的一头雾水，后面慢慢找到点头绪。两大妙笔：开头坐施工电梯上米兰的摩天大楼，以肯尼迪为头版的报纸被扔进洞里。
电影语言没有什么新鲜的，贵在平实接地气。前半部分是点式抓取最有爆发性的场景让艰辛和天赋卓然显现，后半部分（快递员起）在对“要荣誉还是要实利”“超人还是不及常人”议题的展现上和《超越》如出一辙，并且更有层次一些，现实境遇和运动寿命是逃不开的问题，拍广告表演原来的自己和突破弱点更新自己之间发生摩擦（交叉剪辑还可以），不过荷载这些矛盾的是母亲。
中秋节于深影。
幸亏在电影院看的，导演完全站在自然那一边，非人视角和高音量的背景音 黑白那一段向上探索有些刻意。人类的探索和生命都是Nothing happens at the end. That's it.
不过，没看懂副线里老爷爷生老病死和主线探险队进入洞穴的关系😅
不是「媽媽的神奇小子」，也不是「神奇小子的媽媽」，而是「小子的神奇媽媽」，孩子的意願並不重要，爸爸依舊總是缺席，媽媽做錯了也是一切為了孩子好，近乎綁架的「世上只有媽媽好」，透露著一股強烈的「沒有XXX就沒有XXX」的單向因果，孩子的自身努力被抹殺，其他人的犧牲與幫助也被無視，真實的故事也許並不如此，只是電影本身實在令人失望。
好看，但是集齐了好睡的所有元素！睁眼的时候我以为我在大草原上，我个人不适合这种没台词的哈
你说弄一帮残疾人跟那比什么啊？有什么可比的？能好好活着就够不容的了！
题材本身还是挺值得鼓励。片子做得过于用力了，音乐和节奏都是。没错这样的片子是有被打动的预期的，但是一直催着说你要感动你要感动就会有点奇怪和pushy。打算把12秒58拿出来也看看
