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)
如坐针毡的 150 分钟，救命啊那么多值得拍的为什么要选这个，故事烂到离谱，让人想笑，男主像个傻子，用顶级 cinematic 去拍这玩意真想不通。
不曾想能看到斯皮尔伯格拍出“玛丽苏”式毫无新意的俗套
哈哈哈哈哈天呐夭寿啦，欧阳万成洗脑成功吸血鬼日记女主啦。
约翰赵和Steven Yeun 演这种爱情喜剧是白女捡便宜，欧阳万成演就真的有点亚男幻想了……
3/4/2022 unnecessary long 运镜灯光走位👍
连字幕都不加了，却还要他得到集体的认同？故事太老了。
哟！这位就是拍了《辛德勒的名单》《拯救大兵瑞恩》《E·T》《猫鼠游戏》《战马》《头号玩家》的斯皮尔伯格呀？
我是看了个罗朱么……某首曲子还行。歌舞部分拍的还行。关键是，白男比较碍眼，实在是忍不住那个救世主的傻样，女主还是挺可爱的。还有，麻烦下次别整那种显得男主很高大女主很娇弱的机位了行不，说的就是那个小拳拳砸胸口那个镜头。可以理解好评的人和差评的人了。（里头种族歧视和白人排外的台词有点让人不适。
歌舞调度很好，可惜这个以《罗密欧与朱丽叶》为蓝本的故事最最需要的男女主角的个人魅力和化学反应约等于没有，而且两人身高十分不协调（充分说明所谓的“身高差”、“小鸟依人”过了头就是美学灾难），让整个故事根本站不住脚，男女主一见钟情就爱得死去活来的情节令人压根无法共情，看了只想翻白眼，最高潮部分男主死了也激不起什么情绪波澜。
在爱乐之城之后我还以为我喜欢上了歌舞片，但是没有，这一切一定要建立在歌好听的基础上。不论是布景还是灯光，都有很强的舞台感，镜头光时时刻刻都在提醒我这是音乐剧不是歌舞片，镜头一拉近我就开始害怕不要吧不要吧好好说话不要唱了，这个地方真的没必要唱。罗密欧与朱丽叶西区故事版？那场阳台戏，我可真跳戏。还有一个死了哥一个死了兄弟，为什么还能do？？警局里的调度真的不错，要是一镜到底那我可以再加一星。
love hard die actually
钢铁下埋葬着多少年轻的爱情和生命…… 男主好帅，竟然有那么一两分马龙白兰度的影子。
如果理解不了上述男人为了男人的语义，那么安妮塔去找华伦缇娜时，格拉吉的态度则是很好的反应。格一开始很讨厌安，但安被一众男人猥亵时，格立马转换了，甚至遭遇了被扔出门外，无法救助安。这点也契合了时下迫切需要的女权。
剧情太可怕了，如果只是现代罗密欧与朱丽叶，顶多就是吐槽剧情老土。但有几个正常人能在自己亲哥死了后还能继续和杀人凶手做下去的？wtf？不是不喜欢歌舞，但打架都是跳舞也太无语了…最最可怕的是，主演没有演技就算了，连颜值也么得！
不行，差评 结尾太快了 我还停留在 女主在订婚宴上揭露真相没缓过来 就happy ending了？？？

this one hits home so damn hard
爆米花爱情故事。周末吃完午饭看个温暖的小片子还是挺好的。
爆米花电影 很圣诞~结尾很突然男女主就在一起了 现实中肯定never ever happy ending
圣诞又多一烂片，恶俗到极致，讲真现在再看copy真爱至上的桥段老子简直要吐了。作为一个真的在网恋软件捡到未婚夫的人，我对该片的扯淡之处简直无言以对。另外，不要以貌取人的道理我都懂，但是连我这样一个普通人看到男一的小矮个儿单眼皮都会直接滑走好吗……
