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)
电影拍摄的很刻意 但我理解这种他们的愤怒
至少在电影方面我们没有资格嘲讽印度。如果还有人说：他们能拍又怎么样，拍了还是一样的情况。那我只能觉得可悲，因为不能拍的人在嘲笑可以拍的人。
没什么想说的 只是留了几滴泪 然后拉黑了十几个打1、2星的短评(奇怪 性别非常统一)
7/10
不受约束的公权，因傲慢而愚蠢，因愚蠢而傲慢。
片子还行，主要是题材优势，这种肯为底层人民发声的律师都很值得敬佩
拖延症拖到现在才看完这部。事件本身的意义大于一切。
即便在最黑暗的背景下，我们也能发现人性的光芒。种姓制度是印度历史最黑暗的一部分，直到今天也仍旧在影响整个国家。Rajakannu案是一场对种姓制度的战斗，这样的战斗告诉人们：人生而平等、法律面前人人平等在任何国家面前都不该只是一个口号，而如何才能将其实现呢，只有不断地战斗。
其实也很好理解，中国人心中的顶尖高手也是扫地僧、风清扬这类，不得不说，某种程度，他们更像现在的印度人而不是现在的中国人
完全没发觉这部片的时长哎！人类对故事的接受度永无止境
唯一的败笔就是男主这个人设有些缺乏情绪的流露过于理性化。整体看着很压抑愤怒，然而人家毕竟敢拍能拍随便播……
其实我们也能拍出这样的电影 只是没人敢拍也没人敢过审
事件是震撼的 但拍摄手法人物塑造太过于刻板流水账
可惜看的配音版，也许正是因为剧情很好猜所以才更可怕吧
7分左右，过于冗长，其中穿插的歌曲也是很让人出戏，估计印度人民喜欢吧，有些台词不错，但法庭上的张力不够，这种题材主要体现的就是冲突，对抗，心灵上的碰撞，而印度片却很喜欢在案件本身上下功夫着重描写，以至于人物显的很平，这点宋康昊的辩护人就直接秒杀了，该平静的时候平静，该爆发的时候爆发，把观众的情绪在恰当的时机点燃，而不是四平八稳的看一场审判这么简单。这部电影到底是把重心放在悬案的解题，还是放在律师的破案技巧，还是为种姓问题付出的心血，还是刻画底层人民没有尊严的生活，导演什么都想要，所以拉了不少时长，有些戏一场足够，太多就满了，离佳片还有不少差距
有生之年，印度要是能彻底概念种姓制度，我倒立吃X
南印电影里程碑。尽管有些造神煽情歌舞的桥段，也不能掩盖这个纪实电影的优秀。拍出来这些印度顽痼沉屙，会改变吗？总有一些在慢慢推动的吧。在家，with阿梓
和药神一个思路，人物脸谱化，事件简单化，严肃议题类型片化，我也不会用“连XX都能拍出关于XX的电影”这种话来夸人了，毕竟你连漫威都看不了，人家拍个你拍不出来的不很正常嘛
拍得振奋人心，正义终将胜利，印度的电影剧本越来越好，也越来越关注现实，真正的再将生活呈现，寻求改变进步🐂🍺
字幕有点坑所以观影体验不太好。
