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)
Are you from Syria?
除了女主个性自信的魅力之外，很无聊的电影。
好可爱啊 最后一段看得有点泪目了 真好真好 不过最喜欢的还是女主高中那段 好美好俏皮
好看诶！女主刚回到高中校园的那段真的太好笑了，Tiffany女儿那段展现的形象真的textbook👍
挺轻松愉快的电影，女主心态那是相当好啊，可能也和她身边都是好人有关系，不过和朋友一起看完，大家最耿耿于怀的就是当初害她的人受到法律惩罚了没。最后再来一下子到六十，就真是加速人生了（雾
立意和主旨其实很好，用不同的视角来认识自己、看待世界就是不同的人生。但……只能说故弄玄虚去搞悬疑，答案是如此淡而无味的话，很影响观感。
很有趣的设想，社会发展20年，好像日新月异又好像很多都没变。关于政治正确的讨论也很有意思，感觉可以拍的更好。导演太会选演员了，2022届毕业生都好漂亮可爱。
3.5，可怜love victor成了没有性格的工具人
看到了长期压抑的zzzq之下，人类本性的全面反噬……
满分！喜欢这种活力满满无坏人但又不过于理想化的电影
看完心情很差。一是看它实属浪费生命，一是自我感动式的治愈真的很假大空。
背景音乐好听 都是经典曲目
关注的博主推荐的说好看。看完我觉得，前面拍的可以，很久没看到这样的青春片啦！后面从回到高中就有点拉垮了，实话有点看不进去了都，可能我不吃女主和男二的颜值吧……（就小声bb，男主好帅啊！！！）
剧情真的不行，三颗星全部是给歌舞成分的。让人非常怀念8、9年前的美式校园青春电影。
节奏问题很大，人物全无弧光，但确实看的很开心，我称之为女性向屎尿屁喜剧
说想看欧美青春片就看到了，虽然不够青春，但是很快乐！
有些情节有点俗属于一看就能猜到的那种 但是还是挺好玩的哈哈 看完后去找布兰妮歌单听了
就喜欢看美国青春无脑电影 虽然后面的剧情突然就很怪 人物性格转变太快 但我还是很爱看
看着又开始遗憾当时来学校的时候没能成功加入cheerleading society🙁
看完总是觉得美国高中真好。。不愧是奈飞出品，非常工整，完整。。这个角度和想法，真的好。。最终为什么大家给不了高分呢。。是不喜欢好学生的中规中矩好作品嘛。。哈哈哈。。
