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)
在这个物欲横流的社会，人与人之间如此纯净的情感，已经几乎绝迹了。
在草原上看星空这样的故事情节挺美好的，只可惜没有给星空拍的特写，只能靠观众自己想象
这个电影很真实，估计电影中的学生都是找的当地的村民拍的，他们脸上的斑点都是因为当地恶劣的环境留下的，所以拍出来的效果才能这样好吧！
梅朵也太惨了，最后真的就只有老师了，不过精神富足有追求的两个人永远陪伴在身边，很幸福。
在那样艰苦的环境，能坚持下来的人真的少之又少，其实我觉得条件好了之后，也没必要一辈子都没给自己的妻子买过一件好衣服吧？
看了这么多扶贫片儿，这部拍的是最好的。演员演得不错，也挺真实的。朗措挺帅是我喜欢那种。
不错的作品呢，希望以后能有越来越多这样的好作品
本以为男女主结婚故事就结束了，没想到他俩居然用一辈子来养育孩子们，太伟大了！
好家伙，一开始说自己是巡山员的那个人出现就觉得有点端倪，果然不出我所料，是个假的！

还可以，个人蛮喜欢这样的电影，前期看起来舒服，支教老师确实很不容易，看到后面压力有点大，有比较多的天灾人祸，情绪起伏比较大，人生也是这样吧，抵挡不了的事，那只能接受
西藏的风景太美了，一生一定要去一次的地方，这部电影聚焦了很少被关注的支教教师，值得一看。
很开心这个电影里面没有着重的刻画爱情，亲情师生情友情爱情的占比都差不多，很舒服。

韩老师就这样带了一批又一批学生，传授他们知识和做人的道理，让他们去到更远的地方。
藏族人民刻在骨子里的热情、义气、勇敢和淳朴十分感人。
韩老师奉献了一辈子，最后居然没有留下一个孩子，这也算是一个遗憾吧
这样干净纯粹美好的电影，应该被更多的人看到
很少看这类电影，感觉风景很不错就点开看看，没想到发现了宝藏，很有风土人情的一部电影。
前面挺好看的，中间僧格走了后，就感觉有点心累，不过我真喜欢卓玛，从开始到结尾。那是相当的漂亮善良，超级喜欢这样性格的女孩
