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)
“亚里士多德讲过，正义就是社会的秩序！”
开始说养鸡的那个男演员以后会起飞吧，都很眼熟他了，犯罪都市里是个龙套，极限职业里演了个主要角色，还演过娑婆诃
赵宇镇一句话四两拨千斤：你的主子一直被反对派称作“赤色分子”，那他有可能继续培养你这么一个脱北者吗？
按照电影中的主题，我们能不能用以牙还牙，以眼还眼的招数去还击？如果用了同样的方法，那么是否背离了自己的初衷？这是一个很让人值得深思的问题。
在韩国政治惊悚里完全不起眼。最大问题就是太无趣，药剂师角色很突兀，妆化也跟不上，历史感全靠调色。
韩国的政治类影片以风格大胆、笔锋犀利著称，本片主要是揭示了60年代一段选举的故事，从选举的双方入手，描写了“一人一票选举”这种政治形态，在韩国发生发展，以及背后的内幕。影片采用隐喻的手法，影射了当时的真实故事，并采取了一些黑白纪录片的形式显示，增加故事的真实性。
但因为这次大部分我没听懂 所以等有资源了再看一次后再打分吧😷
拍得蛮工整的，质感不错。故事高概念搞二元对位，爽感不大。比较有意思的是薛景求演的金中大，整个扮猪吃老虎，一边装纯一边腹黑，也体现在一些重大决策时的空间分隔调度上。导演还是有想法。薛的角色甚至还能和《兹山鱼谱》对照着看。
看韩国电影你甚至不需要知道这个故事原型到底是怎么，看表演都是一种享受，更何况敢把这种电影拍出来更是厉害
在古代，
几位演员都挺好，最爱还是李善均。
总觉得差点啥。我还是喜欢看电视剧那个辅佐官。
太儿戏，太想当然，比的居然是谁比谁更混蛋，而未触及真正的问题，即程序正义和结果正义究竟哪个才是对的。
三个男主都是熟脸，一起上演尔虞我诈的韩国总统选举的大历史。
来自希腊的亚里士多德这样说：
通过改编金大中与影子军师严昌禄的事迹，来阐述目的与手段的关系这一点很取巧。剧情对政治的处理多有理想化。
韩国什么都能拍啊。政治就是一种玩弄宣传的游戏。有正义感的总统VS不顾一切的幕僚。影子为什么总想走到前面呢？
你说他是为了民族大义吧，好像也不是，也不是为了钱，只能理解是为了理想吧，诸葛亮是不是也是这样想的。
卑鄙是卑鄙者的通行证，高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。不过一个只会喊口号，默许影子不择手段的人，还算是高尚者吗？
化妆师能不能稍微认真点 金云范简直20年没变化。。。
