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)
亲亲AA和Moore 男主怎么看也不像是高中生啊
电影节奏慢出翔了。日式夸张演技真要命。是我逻辑有问题还是日本人说话绕弯弯，他们的解释都是人话怎组在一起我听不懂表达的意思？行不行啊纳尼啊强行煽情，问题在怎么筛选该给谁不该给谁给啊，不是不给你啊什么鬼啊总归不是自己撤回的吗为了有尊严的死，日本人真的脑回路清奇，都没法共情，什么鬼啊。多给佐藤健的演技一个🌟，玩咖归玩咖业务能力还是一流的
一直不想看因为对trailer很失望觉得它对不起原版音乐剧。看了以后发现Ben装嫩装的还可以，新加的有色妹子很有张力，对新加的歌曲无感，Connor的choreography很不错，去掉Disappear这首歌想怎样？最后果园的镜头不如音乐剧里的粉色投影！！！但还是比我预期好，为了歌曲给个3.5星
这部电影主要是探讨日本的社保福利政策，但是故事剧情有点牵强，可惜了。
看了20分钟实在无法忍受平淡无奇的剧情，和百无聊赖的情节，删了
和推理感觉关系不大，主要还是体现震后的社会面临的问题及情感抒发，发达国家尚且如此，如果之于发展中国家估计更甚
一个没能讲好的好故事。惊喜之处：（1）佐藤健剧抛脸；（2）没有预料到真凶；（3）选择关注的是低保这个社会性问题。失望之处：剧情安排欠妥，导致小千的行为动机在观众看来有些奇怪。
很引人深思也很日本…制度的不完善…底层的痛苦永远被漠视…不给人添麻烦的耻感…海啸后的食物争夺…一切都很真实…
为什么大家会喜欢看awkward high school kid的故事 电影拖的好长啊啊啊啊 说一句话停顿三次。also, evan is srsly a little piece of shit 心疼两位妈妈
想用导演祭天，虽然都能想象他跟制片方掰扯的整个过程
很引人深思也很日本…制度的不完善…底层的痛苦永远被漠视…不给人添麻烦的耻感…海啸后的食物争夺…一切都很真实…
音乐剧拍电影版能不能放弃无效改编也不要加一些或者难听或者没用的新歌了啊。相比起来歌唱表现形式难以融合的通病我都可以忍，还是一不小心哭了至少Requiem, You Will Be Found, Words Fail, So Big/So Small四首呜呜呜/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
咋这个日本政府恁坏，还能让日本穷人饿死的啊
天灾之后必有人祸，只是我们没有追究的权力。演员表演都挺不错的，只是剧本有点弱，天灾造成的心理创伤和人祸的制度性问题都没有深入，有点遗憾。
三星半，故事题材很好，拍的不咋地。想到了现下的上海疫情，得不到保护的人们该有多挣扎。
然后小本说真的，唱挺好，但影片整个服化道似乎与他无关，反正片中的形象就挺不高中生的了。摩尔和AA着实力挽狂澜了，要不是她俩铆足了劲演，影片整个怕是会更平。
很骨感的现实问题，在哪里都是，但有什么比生命更重要呢？阿部宽、佐藤健和清原果耶三个人的戏份比较平均，所以整体结构比较散，叙事结构还是比较棒的时间线来回穿插相辅相成。清原果耶演技爆炸，笑颜无敌。
2.5。梗能磕到，但全程不能相信载歌载舞的主角自闭。
三星是给歌曲的，影版真的好奇怪，之前看大悲饭桶的影版没有这么水土不服的感觉，这部的拍摄手法就让演员一开口唱歌就变得很奇怪，非常尴尬的感觉…而且Ben的脸上大银幕的确不太适合…
披着一些悲情外皮的悬疑故事，太浅了，虽然全员演技在线
