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)
仆人和主人的等级越来越模糊，可以说是一个命运相系的big family，戏里戏外，生老病死，在残酷的世界尽量幸福是真谛。
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。
一个艺术家的牢笼还是羽翼，你更喜欢哪个？去问飞鸟吧。
其实就是一部元素满满的合家欢电影，但还是可以为了情怀多给一颗星。不管是有声电影拍摄还是别墅秘密都很类型化套路化，重要的是可以看到英国亲戚。距离看剧已经过去了那么久，看的时候重新不住地想起曾经Mary的冷漠和Thomas的毒舌，想起曾经边缘的Edith和温柔的Matthew。时至今日一切都和解，但依旧可以看到老夫人的幽默风趣以及老管家对大小姐亲人般的爱。最初看唐顿那种远观old money的感觉早就不在了，我只是在看生动鲜活的他们开启新的生活。看到第一部电影版Lady Mary掌权以为已经算是大结局了，没想到还会有这部。还是且看且珍惜吧。
其实唐家屯一直伴随着隐约不明显的世界线，但有种奇怪的感觉，好像到今天，岁月才终于在这些我们熟悉的人物脸上留下痕迹。时代落幕总让人唏嘘，哪怕是毫无意外的Ending。
南法villa也太美了啊！！！好爱！！！为了不错过Mr Barrow的戏份没去电影院看，现在看是个正确的决定！！！Barrow这行走的荷尔蒙🥰🥰以及，贵族的这点子破事着实挺无聊的
但是到了最后，一切的一切终究有了完美的结局。老妇人的离去无需太多的铺垫，相信剧迷从第一季开始就有这个心理准备了。
看完满是心满意足的喜欢～仍然小中见大的剧本，电影版上一部已经很惊喜了这部还要更好，A New Era是立意更高版的《雨中曲》、又是老太太乃至庄园乃至整个英国的变化。多引进些这样的片子多好
感觉演员们都老了，旧的人离去，新生命降临，有声电影必然淘汰掉默片，新时代的来临，每个人都找到了幸福的归属
以婚礼开始，以葬礼结束。从无声电影到有声电影的转变，以及老奶奶的离世，都呼应了标题，唐顿庄园的new era的开始。
Mary will become her.
肉眼可见的剪了众所周知的部分。还是谢谢青天大老爷放行，有得看总比没有强。 （smirk*
应该是真正完结的时候到了，所以想着给每个人都有着好的归宿，即便这部拍的太过紧凑、过满了点，但作为告别而言，我还是欣然接受并且喜爱它。
看完没想到后劲这么大，怅然若失。前面有多甜蜜，最后我就哭得有多惨。大家都有了归宿，也好。再见了，再见。
肉眼可见的剪了众所周知的部分。还是谢谢青天大老爷放行，有得看总比没有强。 （smirk*
tick tick tick……每个人的人生都在钟表的滴嗒声下缓缓流逝，面对着年龄的不断增长，物是人非的感慨，焦虑不安油然而生，但焦虑不等同于畏惧，不等于停滞，而是更应该在tick tick 的滴嗒声中追求
不得不说管家艳福齐天，每集都能找到好对象，这次还攀上了好莱坞明星
最好的Downtown Abbey，我最好的Downtown Abbey。
视角停顿转换特别舒适、流畅，长镜头恰到好处，还是英国人会拍英国人🥺。休的魅力挡不住。
Like Mary said: I wish you well. And I hope you will be as happy as our crule world allows.
