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)
从小津走向伍迪艾伦，
看这种拍拍电影的电影总觉得很有趣。虽然人物扁平和割裂了一点，感觉导演更多是意向地在呈现电影梦和good old days吧。山田洋次的电影一贯的温情幽默都没有让人失望。苏打很有魅力 让我选择 嫁给这样的老混蛋我可能也愿意8⃣️😄
又一部迷影电影，由衷敬佩山田洋次导演。
没见过全员这么烂的演技 救命啊 比我演技还烂 可不可以不要扭来扭去说话吗…？日本人为啥非要这么做作的演戏啊 和吴昕有什么区别 为了苏打看完的 到底是在干什么啊……不知道说啥了
普普通通甚至有点无聊，suda演技也没发挥出来，去外国拍戏吧

“第二天就要开学了前一晚上才把作业补完”既视感
看到山田洋次的新电影依然会感动，很好的故事，拜托导演继续拍下去吧！
寺岛忍老的有点认不出了，泽田研二更是只在片尾字幕上能认出来，北川造型很有那个味儿，电影从情节到演技都有些过时感了
观影途中我在脑海中列了一张批评质问清单，但是电影尾声回到火车里的场景，用皮尺丈量的那一幕，那一瞬间，我大哭一场原谅了一切。我太爱苏打了，他眼里的光、额头低落的汗、在片场的种种认真和痴傻、宣告梦想时的自信和纯真，都一次次打动我，苏打本人让我对这个并不讨喜的角色怀有飞蛾扑火的那种执着，“我没有想着要让阿乡给我幸福，是我要让阿乡幸福。”
把太阳留住！把毕生都留给电影的电影人，是好难分心的。与其说是狗血三角恋，不如说是庸常生活与浪漫梦想之间的牵扯。最后一幕，园子步出银幕，从老人身上拉出的身影，毋庸置疑的生命力，正是无法在现实中把太阳留住的电影之神。九十岁的山田洋次浪漫透顶。另，影片中的大景深镜头妙极。山田电影中的笨男人真是太有趣了！
但总体影片氛围营造算是成功，并且主演奥利弗·马苏奇演技十分在线，把一个精神肉体被囚禁的状态成功表现出来，撑起了整个故事。
感觉跟着老头一样的人多了去了吧，到最后才醒悟，来得及么？北川景子真漂亮啊！
有点冗长 这种电影情节贩卖反而不感冒了
很討厭男主角這種我行我素、不體諒別人、只造成別人負擔的渣男性格，身旁竟還有不離不棄的妻子和死忠的摯友，實在感動不了，決定給不及格。人品不行再有才華都要打折扣。唯一可看的部分只有純樸專情的永野芽郁。是說，後來從螢幕走出來的創意變成恐怖片的創意了嗎？
山田洋次的电影色调总有一种温暖的主题，虽然底色都是一样。我想说小伎俩是管用的，电影之神也会用小伎俩。
男主这个角色太令人讨厌了，导致大打折扣…电影本身是很迷影的，日版《开罗紫玫瑰》，回顾戏里的复古服装好喜欢，山田洋次老爷爷可以称为“电影之神”呐
故事的过去与现在割裂感太强了，主角的堕落仿佛是强行被安排的，只由一次导演的失败就结束了整个导演生涯，辞职、搬家，完全不能让观众同情。电影的高光基本上都在回忆中，但这部分反而只占了不到1/3的篇幅，叙事结构说不出的奇怪。 不过，永野芽郁真的太适合这个角色了。只要一出场就全程盯着她（要不是她可能也不会看这个电影
现今老迈爱赌博，当年青春有才华，来回叙事的形式是动人的设定，感叹岁月，扼腕青春。后半段边刷手机边看的，只是大概了解致敬青春的剧情，有天堂电影院的味道。有时间要再刷一遍。
還在思索為何看到開篇放映機片段時便眼眶泛淚🥲
