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)
不婚不育 永葆青春…Marika最后得到想要的答案又有什么意义呢 即使是心里想要的 也已经回不去了 不要妥协啦！
因为爱情的吸引而总是顺从和向另一个人妥协，只为了正当的陪在她身边很真实，但也脆弱，因为总有不安、害怕、忐忑。
前半段看得我尖叫分裂扭曲，但忍到最后还是很俗套地被"我的信仰足以支撑我们两个人了"这种话打动😫已经对这些苦难女同故事过敏🙏🏻
好无聊的电影以及被污名化的宗教，有一万点想吐槽的地方！这就去看伦敦生活回回血
Anwen和June的性张力极强 吻戏都很好 可是最吸引我的反而是在电影院卫生间Marike抱着Jamie的那一幕
哇 好多男人 哇 夏天真好 完成度挺高的片子 安排的那个暗恋对象有点撑不起来 张伟演的挺好 情绪传递地很好 年轻男演员很养眼啊 再次感叹 哇 好多男人啊
即使命运难测 我们走上殊途 即使信仰不同 你为信仰牺牲自己和我们的爱情 我们的爱延续着 爱比真理永恒
在大陆青春片智障和矫情的语境内，我愿意给满分。第一次被国产青春片燃到流泪，太好了，全方位的好，并且情节上没有什么企图心，简简单单就很扎实，剪辑、表演、配乐都对得起观众。
多一颗星打给背后的拥抱，女同片永远不可能he是吧🙃，自从看过《打开心世界》之后就没有任何结局可以再伤到我了🙃。喜欢Jamie大狗狗！！！但是我会被另一个女主气死！！！
可是对我来说
22.7.18 镜头技巧平 故事背景施压 无聊 但是religious play真的很涩
摸着你的手抱住，偷偷牵起你的手并摩挲，加重的呼吸，红晕的耳廓…
就是说 不要跟宗教信仰不同的人恋爱……女主完全长在了我的审美点上
指尖的触碰和流连，来自背后的拥抱，落在颈间的吻……小细节总是很打动人。宗教笼罩之下的爱向来很难有好的结局，有时候真是痛恨这些人类自己制造出来的枷锁，但我还是愿意相信最后是he，她们会一起离开那里，去看意大利小镇的钟楼上长出的橡树。
被撞破前的部分实在是太动人了，值得满分。后来的部分不作评价。打分仅作标记，不作推荐。
一开始气氛总是层层压抑，暧昧极尽克制，直到两个人走在水中，和开头的天堂重合，才有一种豁然开朗的感觉，清楚到两个人都看见了那道墙，一道穿不过的墙，最后的孩子，虽然徒添遗憾，但是感觉直到最后两个人才明白想要的是什么
后半段的魔幻展开太过匪夷所思，尬到头皮发麻…能把原本一个中二搞笑的热血故事改得如此苦大仇深也是挺不容易的…最糟心的是，好好一青春片，里面竟然会有如此之多的反派（游泳队，家长，学校，主办方…），为了制造冲突无所不用其极…关键最后的大和解实在太潦草了，亲情线、爱情线都没处理好，花了巨符笔墨的友情线也是勉勉强强，如果说前半程是力有不逮死命强撑，那后面就是破罐破摔全面垮塌…
感觉急转直下开始be的部分有点仓促了，可能因为我最近生活中宗教含量过高，看电影反而不觉得那么宗教，倒是挺真实的。零零碎碎一些话挺好玩的，like“你们两个挺明显的”，“congregation is all we got”…啊！有些后劲儿在的。无关的，看到最后觉得可以看看哥林多前书，怪不得觉得最后quote的话非常熟悉，原来教会墙上挂了那几句。
好啊又是拉拉👩❤️👩你们爱而不得的女本子还要虐我多少次呐...太细腻太真挚的感情，可是一个人的信仰真的无法支撑两个人💔是今年看过除了小姐之外最好看的姬片了！
本来想打三星 sigh I don’t get it
