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)
跟EVA最终章一样一堆乏味的猛男捡树枝剧情，战斗几乎是元祖纯虐菜，白色恶魔名不虚传
从肤色白白净净到染色高原红，从青丝到白发，支教老师奉献了他的一生。感动。
北京的支教老师韩松初到藏区，恶劣危险的生存环境立马给了他一个下马威，被狼王追赶，被动物夜袭，艰苦的生活条件让他不知所措，但藏区学童和同胞们
场景实拍很走心，整体偏纪录形式的电影，很意外大哥居然不是藏族本地演员，偏远地区自然条件恶劣，同时缺物资，更缺知识，而支教老师正是带来知识的使者，真的是平凡而伟大，致敬！
和Eva的第三村很像，被迫早熟的战士短暂进入农田式的乌托邦，与还保留着某种日常的人们一起劳作，找到了成熟的意义，这种结构到底是什么意思呢？搞不懂。
非常非常粉丝向的作品，虽说不算很闷，但内核可能确实比较old class。石头哥还是那个石头哥，但是机动战士的格斗技却没保留，有点可惜
这次的骡子有点狠/石头扔得不过瘾啊/初代bgm好评
白色恶魔从机库出来的那个镜头，真tm帅炸了呀。。。
一架扎古Ⅰ开得风生水起，夏亚也就这样了吧。
多昂好男人啊、剧情真的简单一条线到底、修正拳也来了好多下
把一个个学生都送了出去，而他却永远留在了这里
胶佬又该是时候装扎古了！音乐比剧情吸引。不属于鸭子的部分，就开三倍速！
强烈推荐的一部好电影。看了好几遍，电影内容真实温馨感人，贴近生活，所有演员的表演都十分到位，这是一部用了心的电影，值得推荐和支持。
剧情有一种说不上来的别扭，三星不能再多，多的一颗给库库鲁斯·多安。
真的很温柔。按这个节奏把0079重置可以吗（。）
纯靠种地过日子，人物的心理压力可是有够轻松的。
很有90年代的感觉！不是高达迷，但也适合怀旧！很感动
风景好美，通过边藏支教领略藏区的风景和人文，值得看一看
希望能多些这类素材的电影，而不是什么朝圣朝圣，跪拜跪拜。
找的藏族演员也大多是细皮嫩肉型
