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)
就还可以的爆米花青春电影吧，道理确实很陈词滥调可以我到现在也没有学会。
威尔逊瘦身成功后来抢amy schumer的饭碗了吗？amyschumer那几部喜剧片子就不讨喜。你说我外貌协会也好，我还是想看凯特哈德森安娜法瑞斯这样的金发大妞演喜剧。
天～2000回憶大禮包✨✨🎵找Alicia 來真的太會（我愛他）🥹🥹🥹這種才能稱大彩蛋好嗎～天知道我到底多愛clueless 😍😍😍😍至於好不好看、合不合理都不重要啦！看YA 長大的，沒有人會苛求這一切的💕
下饭电影，Rebel是不是和网飞签了电影协议，最近几部这种美国青春高效电影里都有她。。。btw，真的是瘦了很多！
没找到好笑的点。。。虽然我一直挺喜欢Rebel，但是她这部剧真的不怎么好看。不过她瘦下来挺迷人的~
继让三十岁的人演高中生以后，网飞终于开始让三十岁的人演三十岁的人扮演高中生了
性格最重要～最惊喜居然cher也在里面客串了
Are you from Syria?
还挺好看的，把一个故事连贯地讲完而且有让我想看下去。长尾头发长也挺可的啊，还挺狼族少年/甜蜜家园的，感觉他以后也可以尝试演这种。看金鱼那段好像罗密欧的桥段，不过那个景确实蛮好看的值得一拍hh。
喜剧是喜剧，但是我是在巨大的尴尬和煎熬中看完的
至於女主，真是只要自己不尷尬，尷尬的是別人～😂
起初一半时间有点像青春喜剧，中段开始有点黑暗，估计有悲惨结局，最后一转又变得很正面。十几岁的时候总有许多的渴望和失望，熬过了就有一番新气象。不要轻言放弃。
哎！比心😂。
丢掉皇冠，那不是打开幸福的钥匙。满意的生活不是外界的加冕，是靠自己努力的发现。
满分！喜欢这种活力满满无坏人但又不过于理想化的电影
Why fit in when you can stand out?
岁数大了变丑了这事还挺出戏的 这演员看着不舒服 故事还可以 很欢乐 学生时代就是好 是别人的学生时代 我们的高中怎么可能这么轻松 看看得了
想想如果有个第三视角的机会，去回看自己的一生，也是挺有趣的。当局者迷，在自己的视角里总有很多忽略了的人和事。
上次看她的电影还是《偷心女盗》，能减这么多也挺不容易的，整片看完还是有不少笑点
轻松的无脑电影，打发时间的可以看看~文化背景不同，实在不理解执念于毕业舞会这个东西~瘦下来的女主总是让我想到Adele，只是她的嘴有点歪~
