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)
Jessica Brown Findlay好漂亮啊
理想与现实的碰撞，妥协对英国是优解，对世界不是
好看的电影和可恶的revisionist history
这部电影绝对能给你带来3个小时纯粹的快乐，漫威众英雄在这兄弟俩面前只能甘拜下风，绝对纯正的cult片体验，希望中国能翻拍一版
本来都是我喜欢的卡司，结果特别是最后一幕，张伯伦说，看我牺牲好大，让你们认清希特勒。。。估计导演是德国人的原因？那个演员还是好看的
看的很开心，虽然浮夸，但算是蛮有效果的一部电影，反正开心就好。双男主超越摩斯密码的沟通，比美国队长还强悍的体质，拯救来拯救去的，一来二去的，感情更深厚。反正没有什么是手抓在一起不能解决的。
哈哈哈，除了莫名其妙的歌舞、开挂的抗英神片剧情，长达三小时的电影居然没有让人疲倦，一波波的剧情小高潮，人物的情感也能让人认同
“羊群有一个牧羊人，他会用生命保护羊群，那位牧羊人会走遍天涯海角带回失踪的小羊，就算发现小羊已落入虎口，他也会打断虎牙，掰开虎嘴，把小羊带回家。” 每个民族都应该有这样一个牧羊人。
影片情节还是紧张的，不是谍战胜似谍战。
又都想说服对方
超好看。小说改编的。臭名昭著的慕尼黑协议。片尾一批洗白张伯伦的嫌疑。但是节奏真的很不错。二战本来就是一场非必要战争
神技能。
没人喜欢战争
最后这算是洗白张伯伦？以牺牲个人的私德揭露希特勒假面具？
算是跟《兰心大剧院》互文了…在既定历史框架下插入的一系列架空情节还是稍显勉强了
“I’ll miss you”, “good bye” “good bye”
主角光环，开挂战斗。好久没看这么长的电影了，3个小时。赤手空拳，单挑老虎。老虎做的太真啦，合成也很棒。男主身材太好了，全是肌肉呀，力量超强。这哪是警察呀，这是战神吧！种族歧视，反抗斗争。吃饭不要用左手。
忘记逻辑，忘记重力和科学，燃就是了。漫画级武力，斗舞一场真的很棒。虽然印度神话并不熟，然而似乎有不少隐喻？
以一对挚友的角度映射二战前后，但是历史像按下repeat键的播放器停不下来。
geschwester Scholz Platz和Odeonsplatz😭
