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)
答:讲故事的能力，23＞3＞17。
我是快进看的，故事确实很针砭时弊了，但是情节推进太慢，时长太长，实在很难坚持看下来
“尊重一个人的才能取决于他们使用它的目的。”
就……真的很中规中矩的一部电影，没有情感，没有悬念，没有期待，结果也如料到的一样正能量，这种电影真的很像我看主旋律作品的感觉，台词配音太出戏，而且剧情超级琐碎，感觉乱七八糟，尤其对脸盲的我来说开头几十分钟真的煎熬，最大感触还是基于真实人物改编这一点吧……
8.0。有个缺点就是片子太长。后半部分很燃。
漂亮国还给印度戴上了最大的民主国家，若这样的垃圾国家都是民主，民主真的是被滥用了。
印度电影传统而娴熟的叙事方式，作为电影本身来讲，称不上极其优秀，IMDB9.4也是虚高，但它贵在真实，贵在毫不遮掩地袒露自己丑陋的伤疤，最大程度地印证了艺术来源于生活这句话。相信只要历史是向前发展的，这个国家最终将消灭种姓制度。
重要的不是你有什么才能，多大的才能 而是你用你的才能用于何处
印度都有这种政治黑暗的电影了，很厉害！希望天朝也能觉醒。
还有人为不平等在战斗，即使是烂到骨子里的封建制度。
真实事件改编？女主和人权律师都很了不起……
7/10
骨气与良善是蛆虫身上剩的最后珍贵之物，
种姓制度、低等部落，当一个群体被制度化的排斥于社会之外的时候，没有任何司法能解救。
主题较为通俗，故事节奏相当好。中间穿插的音乐段落，中国观众看起来确实有点跳跃。
如果没有人能够站出来，还会有千千万万个受害者，我们要勇敢地为底层人民发声，希望我们国家的法律法制能够更上一层楼。印度整个国家都是种姓制度无法改变，妇女更是生活在水深火热当中，悲哀！
确实应该有这样的电影，批判自己。我们现在这样不好。
高水平快手正能量大电影哈哈。主角自始至终帅气高大上圣人人设略烦，好在有趣的是片子把人物弧光给了一个督察，对主角来说有了个由敌变友，对手惺惺相惜的过程，观感zer一下就上来了。其他的些许套路，反派没有强和坏，只有蠢，这点上不如一些同类型的韩片做的压迫感强和观感好。整体还是成熟好看的，受用
种姓制度、低等部落，当一个群体被制度化的排斥于社会之外的时候，没有任何司法能解救。
印度的电影在为部落弱势表达声音，我们有的是没有疑点的被狗链拴着的八个孩子的母亲。多少座盲山，需要多少个金福南？
