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)
基调和质感很不错 犯罪惊悚这个类型并不少见 人物很立体矛盾很合理 但这些优点随着剧情的推进慢慢的不见了 故事开始变得夸张浮躁 甚至在赌场中的镜头和气氛也变得很诡异男女感情戏也是没有任何作用 又是浪费脚本演员的典范
why！！！！！！went through so many trouble for 伐木内
累。。PTSD赏析，看完累到不想写影评。。
很意外很惊喜，空间的推拉固定，对观众的勾引挑衅，氛围的营造，都非常喜欢。尤其喜欢一种理科生一样的固定逻辑式的场景镜头，奥斯卡伊萨克也很有魅力。至于剧情，不需要为什么，感受就好。
加害者与受害者一体的创伤后遗症呈现，可是真的好枯燥好无聊。
Oscar Isaac is FINEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
我也想oscar isaac一边骂我一边朝我扔钱
以全片做铺垫为了引导别人看爽快血腥的复仇结局。。。结果就这。。。
来自维基：“电影2020年2月24日在密西西比州比洛克西展开主要拍摄。2020年3月16日，一名从洛杉矶飞来的小配角演员被检验出COVID-19阳性反应，使拍摄在五天后暂停。拍摄于2020年7月6日恢复，7月12日宣告杀青。”
保罗施拉德，拍一部少一部。老派也是双刃剑，迷人的noirfilm开局，监狱哲学，usa信仰破灭，什么时候能砍掉过时的爱情线
最后 男主与其女友在看守所隔着玻璃食指相抵 还是很有感情哒 呃。。。。。女友的指甲太长吧。。。顶在玻璃上有点搞笑 有点出戏ヾ(。￣□￣)ツ
摄影和剪辑很加分。虽然但是，对于黑狱中的执行者没啥值得原谅的，尽管他也是个人。
监狱VR，感觉就像是没有贴好的hdr环境贴图。一个关于自我救赎的故事。
7.5 施拉德赋予的独特气质，使其不同于其他美国电影。
手，算牌的手，喝酒的手，写作的手，在背上上纹人生信条的手，高举呐喊USA的手，鞭打囚犯的手，杀人的手，因复仇而断掉的手，爱的手。
stay away from FOCUS company, which is famous of producing profound, meaningful, well acted but ... extremely BORING films!
极端虚伪的好莱坞，极端虚伪的电影，为关塔那摩里的恐怖分子喊冤？谁为911死的美国人喊冤？谁为恐怖分子杀害的美国人喊冤？
why！！！！！！went through so many trouble for 伐木内
一直以为旅馆用布包住会发生什么，结果啥也没有......
