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)
居然有heidi。LAL的故事放到费城是致敬rocky吗？
感觉节奏上有一点点小问题 前面推进的有一点点快
三星半，就和很多运动电影一样，套路之余非常热血，观感很不错。还挺喜欢stan和bo的互动，很可爱。
大团圆
6/10/2022 中间训练的montage光看我就有被累到
终于明白为什么一直觉得Brad Pitt与《点球成金》这部电影莫名的不搭，果然还是Adam Sandler更适合这类角色。
『 6.0 华子风评被害，76人自黑？最后去凯人了，不错，暗示凯尔特人总冠军！』
虽然挺商业挺模块化 也很流水线 但是双主角的聚焦 和现实的相映成趣 还是呈现了体育运动的精髓 阐述了燃和奋斗的概念 剧情还是不错的 伪纪录片式的手持镜头和NBA真实的素材拼接还是蛮有趣的
典型鸡汤片，但NBA浓度实在太浓了。
真不错 亚当桑德勒说喜欢篮球讨厌足球一定是他的真心话
“NBA ✖️ 洛奇” 体育场上的小人物逆袭美国梦
流畅 圆梦吧对主演来说 美国的街头篮球文化太根深蒂固了
3.5-确实套路，但不难看。喜欢亚当·桑德勒。

标准的美式励志体育童话,工整 没有新意,但是一众NBA大牌来助演还是很给亚当面子,76人几乎倾巢而出,而且詹皇还是共同制片人.但是主演埃尔南戈麦兹其实在NBA已经沦为边缘人了,而且公开表示他在凯尔特人一点都不开心 队友都很自私,最后的一组镜头却是他穿绿球衣,就很有意思了.
运动励志片，总是那么让人热血。过程很有趣，包括各路明星的客串，只是结尾再给力些，会更爽！
体育拯救我的🐶周末！周六上午看NBA总决赛库里，周日上午看UFC张伟丽，周日晚上看NBA球探电影！电影说不上有多好，但是规整的体育题材电影好久不见。Sugar Weekend！
属于美国体育励志类常规影片。体育是美国底层实现飞跃的机会，虽然渺渺，但一直让底层人们持有希望，我想这也是为什么这类电影一直有市场的原因。另外，不都说文体一家吗？我们文艺界拍励志电影有点难，但或许可以拍几部电影讽刺一下我们的体育界。
体育拯救我的🐶周末！周六上午看NBA总决赛库里，周日上午看UFC张伟丽，周日晚上看NBA球探电影！电影说不上有多好，但是规整的体育题材电影好久不见。Sugar Weekend！
结尾干脆利落，这就对了，相濡以沫，不如相忘于江湖。
