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)
有那么一两句话好戳我，“物理里不是喜欢假设摩擦不存在吗？我讨厌那么直接地忽视很多。”“因为有摩擦，所以才有改变。”“我喜欢的是，bl和你。”“我喜欢的是，男人和你。
20220519，下载电视看。自由的代价是什么？一切。
立意高于剧情本身 整体还可以 演员演技也蛮在线的
自由的代价远超想象！司法部长女儿的死更能说明种族歧视的顽固势力肆无忌惮啊！
还蛮感动蛮温馨的，高中生就是好啊。虽然大前提感觉有点奇怪，但思考一下和普世价值的矛盾也不错。（神尾枫珠演dk永远是神🥲
最开始由黑人男主问到“自由的代价是什么”。到最后由白人警察互相问到“自由的代价是什么？一切”
種族之間，人為的隔離，就是世界上最大的不公。白種人的傲慢，就是自我感覺太好。自由和平等有時候的代價是巨大的，南非如此，很多地方也如是。
喜欢的是bl和homo 现实中发生的话也是不知道怎么面对的处境
只能说南非的电影工业尚在起步阶段，或者说也就这样了。没什么逻辑，也比较粗糙，混乱中坚持了50分钟，看不下去了。曼德拉作为南非比较有故事性的人物，能以此为素材拍出了这么难看的一部电影，那也真是烂泥扶不上墙了吧。看这里竟然超过7分，这是对南非革命者报以同情的打分吗？
最近看太多真实故事改编的电影了，相信每一个都要比电影更惊心动魄！
南非也可以拍出这么有格调的电影，一切为了自由！
层层压迫，错的不是同性恋也不是女性，错的是这个世界（男权社会）。
发生在青春期的纠结与撕扯。
为了释放一个被关了二十几年未闻世事的人，这个人后来搞垮了南非。。。说明没有文化的人当大官都很可怕哦。
What’s the price of freedom? -Everything.
故事挺套路化的，顺带了解了一下真实事件，过于“正确”，原创部分较多。
结尾出现了，根据真实事件改编，所以司法部长的女儿真的被射杀了？
中规中矩的商业片 戏剧张力拉满 美国黑哥最后来一个 black panther 的手势 瞬间泪目
不咋喜欢这种题材。南非种族
