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)
the end…比较轻松，还有笑点，隔壁一男的每每有点幽默的场景时候就发出“哎呀…”的声音…
石头姐有爱乐之城，加菲有了倒数时刻，我磕到了
电影开始于婚礼，结束于葬礼以及新生命的到来。Goodbye，Lady Grantham.
每看一强行凹出了情节故事线，英国人钟爱的happy ending
参与了猫眼的提前点映，起初是有些担心看不懂，看海报这么多人物，理不清楚人物关系，完全是我多心了，画面精致就不用说了，故事分为两条线走，剧情紧凑曲折，暗藏英伦小幽默。完整体现了传统贵族的精致生活和日常礼仪。太惊喜了，后面要把前作和剧集也补上
It’s the end of an era,as the opening of another.
始于颜值，终于老太太的演技，其余都不剩下什么了~
精神唐顿家人。甚至比1还好。南法别墅和庄园电影双线，没想到的剧情安排。还是一如既往地哭着笑着看完全剧，完全忘了身在何处，觉得剧中人就是现在的身边的而不是一百年前的，每一个人物的悲喜都强烈共鸣。
制作幕后班底要继续以电影的形式拍下去。就算已有巨大的故事体量，似乎也不愿戛然美好而止，那只好这样了。
唐顿好美。台词一贯的优雅。老太太去世的场景大概是一个人离世时最完美的状态了。
British core最后还是驾驭了Hollywood technique
虽说是新时代到来，传承的精神和两代掌舵人会做的选择是一样的，这可能是我没那么买账的原因。
完美的结局，剧粉的狂欢！打百星都不为过。每个人都以熟悉的样子回归，每个人都有了幸福的安排，高兴的我几次挥起了手！结尾同一个镜头下老夫人的离去和新生命的降生，简直是庄园的定格：生命来去，但家族永恒！
时光流转，看唐2时的心境变化很难用言语形容。有爱，有不舍。就此结局，挺好。
终于影院复工看到了这部！午夜票竟然包场了哈哈。爽呆！完全没有意料到老夫人的离开，也算是一个时代终结了。有人离开但也有人新生。记得追剧的时候最喜欢的除了英式范儿，还有对仆人群体的多样描绘，以及主人和仆人的互相依靠，让人看到更多的人性弧光。这部对我来说最大的感动或许就是爱情里的克制，人生中我们可能会遇到很多次心动，但难得的是克制，在原有的平稳道路奔驰，如老夫人和玛丽。男演员和男管家的私奔一看就不对劲，删减就不要引进咯，资源还更完整！
富贵大宅子，各有烦心事，一团乐呵呵，送别老贵婆。
看到老太太走了忍不住了TAT 老人走新人来 唐家屯里的每个人都能有自己的归属就好了
把电影从无声到有声的过程融入其中，每个人都有了很好的归宿。可能现在的社会戾气太重，即使知道这样美好的生活很虚幻，但总忍不住沉浸其中。知道剧中人马上就要面对二战，或许是缥缈虚无的故事里唯一现实的基点。
不只是关于百老汇，也是关于格林威治村，以及两者的互哺关系。吞噬生活的艺术创作过程注定是孤独的。从《傲慢》到《倒数时刻》再到《吉屋出租》，乔纳森·拉森倒在了功成名就的前夜，而林聚聚在这部传记音乐片中有着太多自我投射，反而让我出戏了。Anyway我还是要给加菲打call，哪怕你已不再是少年...
3.5 标准冲奥系音乐片。泳池里的五线谱令我眼前一亮。为一展歌喉的帅气加菲奶一个来年的影帝提名。
