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)
确实，对于我这种无宗教、无神论者，没办法共情这部片。
演员在体态上卖力的自我折磨就像店家拉着“最后一日”的清仓横幅却牢牢盘踞一个月一样，沦为仅剩的一点可怜噱头。前半段看到马克·沃尔伯格应聘演员的时候有短暂闪回到《不羁夜》，拳击手失业也不一定就要做神父嘛，还可以下海的（不是）。
“我就说我们可以的 我一直都很幸运”
我觉得我脸盲了，我总是把他跟谍影重重的那个当成同一个人。。。
Such a cliché. But chick flick is always good to kill time. 两星打给Alicia.
OMG我真的好喜欢这个！！今天好开心！！！！！我想象的我的37岁也是这个样子的！！！！
2022年居然整了个校园剧？！逆穿越网飞不愧是你
讲述一个小混混，向教堂神父逐渐蜕变的过程，改编自真人真事。有点好奇男主最后变得那么胖是怎么拍出来的。不管是有神还是无神，人都要找到并且迈向自己所向往和想要为之付出的行为上去。
电影还行，但这个人物我实在是不能理解。对于女友相当不负责任，以至于后面的传教让人觉得恶心。

纪实电影，讲述两个人如何在北极生存800多天终于等到救援，画面体现出极地的寒冷，有耐心还是值得一看的。
沃尔伯格演神父总感觉那些过去祷告的人会被他骂走……
一名合格的神父应该是一个洗脑高手，要会转化不顺心的烦恼，一切皆是甘甜。
太慢了.....看得我急死了 总感觉有高潮等着然后.....就没有然后了
观影感还是不错的，最后的心理斗争，期待，无助，绝望，刻画的确实很到位！
好久没看到美国人拍这种high school life的电影了，还挺爽的
基于真实故事的改编，将近3年的探险极地求生，能活着已经是最精彩的部分。
而且电影里真的没有budy shame，女主20年后醒来也当上了舞会女王，大胆的跳完了当年的舞，真好啊
算是今年上半年看到的最感人的福音电影了吧，没想到是传记类电影
宗教励志片。哦，原来导演是吉布森妻子来的……
