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)
宗教不是刺激的调味品，而是大山啊。前面都好，结尾太仓促。
2020年封控期看着这对cp做做饭吃吃饭，没想到2022年封控期还在看这对cp做做饭吃吃饭
我不懂玛丽克，明明是虔诚的教徒，同性恋是大罪玛丽卡不可能不知道，为什么还要主动接近杰敏？
温暖、欣慰，日常。拍出了很多日本人的浪漫和文化，今天刚说要去京都玩，结果电影里第一个场景就是两个人去京都旅游。还有日本人的赏樱也太浪漫了吧，打包美食，到公园野餐，几个人就什么也不做，静静赏樱，啊，很美好啊
这个系列之所以是我私心里的白月光，正是因为它的视角聚焦在了普通中产阶层cp中的生活真实。从清心寡欲的日常中发酵爱情的甜蜜，其实比游走在名利场中发酵出来的糖精要更打动人。日本对于各种身份认同和家庭社会问题的包容，表面上看似压抑，实则让人际关系的处理和国内相比简单了不少。两个男人，几道料理，在三两好友的祝福和父母的肯定下共度余生，怎么就成为了所谓文明社会的奢侈了呢？
在细碎平淡的日常中感受温暖，品尝夫夫生活的酸甜苦辣
back hug就像大do了一场，触碰的手指，若有若无的眼神交错，是我最喜欢的互相吸引，难以抑制。marike，why？最后相遇再切换到之前的场景，她好像老了十岁，没有了之前的光彩和生命力。去过自己的生活吧，去过，去活。
内野先生的做姿扮相总让我出戏分神 过了？
整部电影就像是一个正常人进入传销组织，偶然发现一个自己喜欢的人，为了接近喜欢的人假装洗脑成功，终于两个人相爱了。最后两个人恋情被发现，一个违背传销组织的宗旨于是和另一个结婚，却憧憬两个人的未来。另一个离开。
“看风景时有人在身边感叹好美 这种感觉真好啊”
好一对相敬如宾举案齐眉的璧人 越看越觉得这就是bros吐槽的那种"love is love is love"story
以Jamie一个外来者的视角去审视宗教团体内对情感和个人的压制，或许有一些真实的背景在，同性之爱成为了一种既定道德的反抗，Marike是矛盾的中心，也是大多数LGBT群体最真实的写照。
配乐加一星。结尾的配乐真是绝，那么悲伤的基调下，忽然涌起那么新快而充满生命力的音乐，毫不违和，把爱的意义无限扩大。
点开之前:这能有多违命
喜欢女主。简单干净，带起很美好的青春回忆啊
嘛……………kenji好像还是稍微有点sissy到我了哈哈哈哈哈哈 以及我发现西岛演技进步在哪儿了，他现在很会演原本很冷静的人情绪激动时候眼圈慢慢变红微微带哭腔（。以及请问这两位直男接拍这戏的最大要求是不是除了牵手之外没有肢体接触啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈（（（（（（
个人不是很喜欢带有宗教元素的感情故事，两人离别前哭着说什么新世界也让我很无语，“我一个人的信仰足以支撑我们两个人”？？？？？不是很喜欢Marike这个角色，感觉两人也没有特别融洽的搭配感，反而是Jaime和同学小哥之间的友情更舒服，看完觉得难道是自己太冷血？就感觉如果是我会选择一刀两断，就算是成为心里永远的伤疤，也不会想要回去看她作为别人的妻子还生了小孩，还要在不接受自己的宗教环境里煎熬，图个啥？？
我还蛮喜欢这种平淡又直白的叙述的。但故事实在太过于单薄，冲突不够，我到结局都没病吧Marica为什么要放弃，就……爱得不够？另外配乐好奇怪，每次都让我出戏。
最残忍的现实莫过于我们都明白所谓的new system根本不会到来，多年后的玛丽克是否会意识到让彼此不得不分离的不过是自己的执念
很惊讶这个故事留了开放式的结尾，但敬而远之才是对的
