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)
电影拍的中规中矩，并不出彩，但这社会问题能拍出来就是言论自由的一种体现.......
3.5。
所以终究还是谁都不能相信，再权威的背书的背后都是血淋淋的现实，直到有一天这样的灾难发生在自己身上才能幡然悔悟，18年国内的金融灾难就是最好证明
加湿器杀菌剂杀人事件
煽情，但也直击心脏。直面错误，审视体系，这样的题材哪怕拍摄手法欠佳，至少不会白费。
有点沉闷 看不进去……然后反转的有点突然
整部电影就是很平的，我不想说真实事件如何如何，电影就一般般。
吓得我别说加湿器杀菌剂，加湿器都不敢用了。
韩式流水线，全员人物工具化，为韩国特色经济服务。
别人啥事都可以拍出来，我们是啥都不能拍，哎
电影有一波三折的情节，但仔细一想，大多就来自于真实事件本身，通过蒙太奇对故事本身加分的东西并不多
🇰🇷真的属于一边讽刺财阀，一边拿着财阀的💰拍电影。。。但不得不说嘲讽和真实，🇰🇷电影真的可以！
棒子真的敢拍，这个世界还有很多东西都是资本在操控运作，只是没人敢提或者提了石沉大海罢了。题材很好，内容很闷，包括中间的反转，本是反派的李突然化身奇异博士，只有一种办法能赢，显得有点仓促，最后十分钟的政客之间互相推诿也是点睛之笔，凸显了本片平民与资本的战争。但很多东西过于的理想化，以及中间调查取证的博弈，并没有太多去烘托那种绝望的气氛，让这片不及另外几部真实事件改编的韩国片。
暴寡惮强梁，官政惟因循。
在本国卖了几千w 澳洲却过不了实验
这样的事件 可以上升到的高度 很牛 又是我朝无法过审的剧本....
那么惊心动魄的事件，却以最枯燥无聊模式化的方式呈现，连一些讲解社会事件的YouTuber和B站up主都比这部电影会讲故事。
没有最后的反转，又是一次资本的胜利，没钱没蒜的普通民众没有地方发声，连最基本的诉讼费都交不起，所以大多时候，受害者不是不想等法院有一个公正的结果，而是他们根本等不起，不得不接受和解拿钱，生活成本，治疗成本让他们不得不妥协
一直对真实事件改编的电影很感兴趣。这部片子的演员阵容就够吸引，前半部分平铺直叙，了解案件的缘故并看不到惊喜也没有很强的起承转合。但后面突然反转的身份的确增加了可看性。我们也有很多故事，但搬到荧幕的少之又少，能看到的更是凤毛麟角。遗憾 & 羡慕
真实事件改编，平民无声的呐喊。
