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)
太平铺直叙了，看到最后毫无代入感，不是我喜欢的类型。
6.5分，本片在imdb6分，mtc72分，口碑并不算差，不过和《逃出绝命镇》《我们》一样是占了黑人政治正确的便宜。但是豆瓣网友并不吃这一套。
好多巧思，剪纸，不断撕扯腐烂的手皮，蜂巢蜜蜂，镜子中的人影，最爱的一个镜头，是从大厦由近及远，人被杀在窗户前，唯一难受的是对黑人脸盲，感觉男的都长得一样。
影片充斥着矛盾的概念和表达，candyman如果说是少数族裔仇恨和不公的复仇化身，男主的身份和变身的过程就隐含着一种刻意和恶毒，为了恐怖效果而本末倒置，非常可惜。
女主还是策展人 用皮影戏把糖果人的故事又讲了出来 只要有人相信糖果人的故事 糖果人就会一直存在
你可以用电影骗我听你说你想说的，我也可以用评分喊我他妈的不想听。
哈？哈？哈？！基本的故事都讲不好，还搞这么多“明”喻。可惜了好看的女主和不错的配乐。
我觉得我可能就是特别吃peele的风格，他真的拍啥我都觉得好看。。。就缺点也挺明显，有些隐喻本来挺清爽硬是拐了两三拐就直接玩儿掉了，剧情里面不合理的地方有不少，但对我来讲都不是事儿。我就喜欢看他的愤怒，和那种不太正经但还是有点吓人的恐怖片呈现方式。另外男主太帅了👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
好恶心的片子。又一出黑人朋友的“总有刁民想害朕”的苦痛哀怨，通过恐怖片的设定，来干不可言说的其他目的。乔丹皮尔该挨揍了，总是拿着自己的那点机灵来煽风点火，借着当前的政治局势为自己搂好处。一旦风向变了，挨打是必然的！
最后20min的爆发和片尾字幕的动画是全篇精髓所在：糖果人是一个蜂巢，住着无数死去的冤魂
挺有意思 为了看新版特异看了老版 很喜欢两部片子里画龙点睛的那句话 第一集是 it was alway you, helen 第二集是 say my name 都是一语多关 你是helen，是谁，是白人，是施暴者，还是受害者 / 我的名字是什么，是candyman，是shaman，是anthony还是黑人，是施暴者，还是受害者
近30年后重拍，节奏和剪辑还是有点瑕疵，恐怖、惊悚感都大为降低...血浆度也不够，cult味则荡然无存...
不太行，特效不错，恐怖片与种族歧视的噱头融合得很生硬。
镜子梦魇和种族问题相媾和突然失去意趣，乔丹皮儿的政治论文写到这一篇突然让人有些阅读乏味。导演的声画意识、场面调度都很精彩。
不看解读根本不知道讲啥，那些评论说是种族问题，是怎么看出来的？
糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！我为什么还活着？
不是我瞧不起GC电影，到底是“不想一個人”，还是“leave me alone” ？小学毕业的我看的云里雾里，就连电影名都搞不清还想拍电影？什么阿猫阿狗都能拍？
如果当恐怖片来看，太委屈这电影了。光和运镜非常有质感，诚意十足。
极 致 摩 登。看之前我真的很担忧这部电影要怎么去改才能不那么令人不满，但导演（看的时候真的完全没发现是女导演！镜头太利落了！）很聪明地用她对老故事的理解，重新解读了这个都传。风格、运镜、结构甚至故事本身都透着“摩登”感。硬要挑剔的话，我认为这位导演还需要更多的磨练。她需要去了解是什么驱动着她表达的这类观点存在并运作的。只有接触更多、经历更多，才能够从这种模糊的观感表达上脱离，变成更有力量的影像。
两星半，非常的meh。中途还有点想睡觉。这么一对比我司的Them真的不要太好看。。。
