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)
很抓人的题材
有力过猛了，有些表演形式和风格留在舞台就好。
电影版最喜欢的竟然是sincerely me…
抱着很低的期待看的，结果还可以，并没有那么差啊
我还记得看盗摄模糊颤抖的镜头中ben platt走上舞台唱出第一句歌词时我受到的震撼。我太喜欢deh里的歌了，或许电影版比不上音乐剧的编排，但对我来讲确实不太重要。我听到了每首歌，又看了一遍这个故事，被透支了情感，我空虚又满足
这片应该给法国人拍
很像恋童癖的BP和电影化的音乐剧，对比隔壁Jamie有点惨烈。
没看过原版音乐剧，电影的话感觉高开低走了，第一首歌太好听了，后面也只有妈妈的歌比较惊艳，剧情也是，后面走向不太行。感叹一下AA也到了演别人母亲的年纪了……我觉得我这应该能和剧情共鸣的，歌也是喜欢的，可能电影没拍好吧，没那么强烈的喜欢……
道理讲太满了，能不能给我们观众一点思考和回味的空间啊…
可惜音乐剧的Evan让我共鸣，影版虽然用了原男主，但改编得有些不讨喜了。
添加的小细节没有特意解释。并且在没有完善好已有的人物线（删歌）的情况下还加新人物线。
改编得很小气平庸 歌舞片段施展不开手脚 演员整体唱功确实差了一些 可惜了这个非常好的故事咧 比预期的还要糟糕 音乐剧版真的是我心中的音乐剧封神舞台
看完了音乐剧，勉强打个四星拉拉平均分，说小本太老不适合演的我也不知道说啥了
歌曲插入很违和，情绪渲染、人物塑造都不如舞台剧
歌舞剧，氛围感很好，有歌舞青春的感觉，但是里面的歌词写的都很台词，各种内心的独白都是很直接的放在歌里面了，青少年的心理问题，其实很多时候和大人一样的，害怕面对自己，或者表现真实的自己，活在一个人设里面，或者无法接受真实的自己，太过完美就不会太真实，每个人都要接受别人和自己的不完美。
比起看音乐剧是压抑不住哭出声的感动，电影版少了一些东西，又在别的地方给了我一些新的东西。对于这个故事我还是更喜欢音乐剧形式。ps音乐真的太好听了。
因为内在原因，DEH真是我最最能从个人角度去共鸣的音乐剧了，音乐的出色是它的灵魂，使得影版都无法割舍，甚至在这里，开头的Waving through a window有让我欣喜，For forever让我直接哭了出来，Requiem我从音乐剧喜欢到电影，而You will be found，是我永恒的软肋，一听就泣不成声。
虽然是歌舞片 但是题材还是有点压抑 还有点沉闷 多多做好身边的事吧
有音乐剧就够了真的……电影的质感差的不是一星半点
只有歌好听，不如直接听专辑。同样的剧情拍成电影不知道为啥尬度翻倍
