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)
关键情节看得很紧张，历史从来不是只有一面，人性泯灭太残酷了，希望种族主义能灭绝。
算是为张伯伦“洗白”的历史电影。聚焦慕尼黑协议签订前后的一系列情报搜集工作和政要动向，作者的观点很简单，不是因为绥靖导致反战，而是因为国内反战的呼声导致绥靖，“需要乃绥靖之母”。很工整，没啥优缺点。
以前很看不起张伯伦，只是后来明白了一点，我们不能用后来人的角度和价值观来评判那时历史人物的决定。无论他信也好，不信也罢，既然战争无法避免，那能晚一些就晚一些发生吧，既然无力阻止豺狼野心，能少一些战火杀戮，就割地赔款吧（何况是割别人的）。至少他不想做那个主动挑起战争的人。关键的关键，当选民要求和平，就只能绥靖；当选民希望反抗，便成就了丘吉尔。德国小保罗，太幼稚
我们不能选择我们所处的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。
女角色全员工具人，叙事重点不明，男同倒是很真挚，荞麦总算有个旗鼓相当且能入嘴的银幕cp了。整体中规中矩，铁的张伯伦不要太性感🤤
是一部适合当下看的预言电影，因为主体状态从未改变。
啊啊啊啊啊！！！！这对cp真的是可以的！！！！！！但是在慕尼黑酒馆里用德语讨论颠覆希特勒政权真的不科学吧。。。
对这个电影的好感更多来自于求知欲的满足，从来不对二战感兴趣，以往的了解都来自于影音资料。在还原历史的基础上，凸显了几个人物，历史既视感很强。两位小人物的性格直接影射了英国的保守与德国的激进。小人物的努力与首相的选择做出对比，深感政治真是无上的脑力游戏。

政治是丑陋的，程序是必须的。很难说英国的文化和官僚体制是完全无效的，即是无捷径，不走极端。
看的时候忍不住刷了一下手机，因为今天早上新闻说美国随时准备出兵乌克兰一旦俄罗斯有任何行动
美如画的兄弟爱情片，开场很像《巴黎烟云》。We have no chance to choose the times we live, the only thing we can choose is how we respond. Hope is waiting for others else to do sth. 真的很让人伤心的片，但小狗一直在搞笑，我都伤感不起来…
hoping is waiting for someone else to do it，we do must better without it
绥靖政策不会带来永久和平，更不是通过秘密外交牺牲他国利益换取自身和平。国之大事在祀和戎，二战爆发意味着理想主义永久和平论的破灭，更意味着现实主义可能是解决战争与和平问题的一种路径。没有任何一个国家希望战争来临，但一定不能为了换取和平助纣为虐。
故事把那个年代的人可能会经历的所有历史事件都套到了两位男主身上，还有模板式的人物设定和关键节点抉择，这编剧大概是看了几百本二战耽美同人吧，怎么能融合的这么丝滑？
架空历史片，张伯伦真是各种让啊…也难怪二战后英国被彻底肢解……
Paul不是没有勇气对着希特勒扣下扳机，他为了信念中的新德国和昔日的爱人恨不得对着希特勒的脑袋清空弹匣，只是当他面对那个他曾经狂热追随过的元首时内心闪过了一丝“怜悯”，曾经的狂热也即将再次点燃。毕竟什么都无法改变的时候试一试又何妨？
影片没有像过去的二战时期一样叙事，更多的着笔于人物内心的刻画与演变，以人为本，总是好事；任何大背景下都有义盖云天的小人物在努力，可能尽管改变不了结局，也会彰显人性的光芒；人物越笨拙，故事越真实，人若是从结局往开始的方向活着，会出现更多拔枪的壮士。摄影有点操蛋，该晃不该晃的都瞎几把晃，既没添光加彩，还略失时代庄重，晕车患者慎入……
战争，战争，战争，面对战争一切皆是虚无，人命由天不由己！
