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)
很好的片子！！年度最佳预订！！易烊千玺那小子演得巨好！！！！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊都给我去看！！！！
你的起点可能是很多人梦寐以求的终点。
有被感动到，易烊千玺演技不错，很符合人物性格，情节当然是毫无悬念地完美结局，过程还是曲折的。
属于那种一看到开头就知道结尾的爽片，但这绝对是近两年最喜欢的电影了。套路化的剧情因为暖人的底色而格外打动人心，相比于名校的精英对利益的考量，底层工人爷爷的粗糙而内敛的真情才能在柴米油盐的生活中恒久留存，创造奇迹
电影的魅力就在于即使戏剧化掉，也能把观众带入其中，这不就是一般观众想要的电影么~
新的一年，也希望自己能有勇气面对困难。以此电影激励自己。
非常理想化，故事平庸，某几个角色很刻板印象。
爱和勇气果然是很可贵的品质。这部电影再一次印证这句话。对亲人的爱、对朋友的爱，敢于尝试的勇气、对抗生活的勇气。拥有这些品质的人，会得到上天眷顾的。
可以说是深圳合伙人吧。因为在深圳出差了半年多，看得出这部电影真的展现了深圳特色。还记得有个周末从潮汕游玩回到深圳，潮汕高铁站都是大包小包前往深圳的打工人。深圳是一个早些年可以从草根实现梦想的地方。
2012年，那一年，我刚毕业。而在同样的时间节点里，有那么一些人同样在不同的情形下挣扎，我们没法和电影中的人比艰苦，也没有获得最后那样的成就。小女孩很可爱，景浩很努力。一群人，有那么多记忆，多好。在婚礼上的一醉方休，回到家的无家可归，形成鲜明对比，愿我们都会更好。
二十岁的景浩独自带着年幼的妹妹来到深圳生活，兄妹俩生活温馨却拮据。机缘巧合之下，景浩得到了一个机会，本以为美好生活即将来临，却不料遭遇重创。凭借着愚公移山般的坚持不懈，景浩顽强奋斗，最终获得成功。
看完才发现这更像是个创业励志电影
前面，创业太不容易了，好多意外：政策的变动、小偷，一分钱难倒英雄汉。最后的六年后有点太梦幻了。
当然，这种前提是，电影试图告诉我们的道理，即一切都是合理的，一切都是都可以解决的。
总体来说是不错的，只不过有的地方煽情得有点刻意了，过于工整也是让人不想给五星的原因。
“致敬新时代里每一个拼搏奋斗的你，我们都是奇迹的创造者。”
这次做了一个本地的故事
小时候电影看故事，现在看镜头语言。故事虽然是老套路，但是人物塑造，镜头语言都特别好，真的很舒服。电影的很多细节都值得回味。故事内核不如醒狮少年深，但镜头和演绎的都很舒坦。真棒👍
四字弟弟和小女孩都很可爱，但是剧情太平了，像是一条横线
〖20220419〗励志的电影总是令人激动的
