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)
韩国电影题材真的比内陆开放太多了。有点偏电视剧质感但不影响他的好看，资本家都是利益当先，所有事情还是得发生在自己身上才能觉悟的话那真的太晚了，电影刻画了普通受害民众和万恶资本集团的较量时的无力，社会的黑暗面，政治资本权利人心交织。结尾的燃情是着实有些意外和惊喜，讽刺的点很多，还是得死了个外国人才有机会开庭审理。黑暗面的张力，也很好哭！不管在哪也好，百姓随便伤害，都是鱼肉随便鱼肉罢了
整部电影就是很平的，我不想说真实事件如何如何，电影就一般般。
推荐指数：🌟🌟
新闻调查三十分：加湿器杀菌剂竟有毒，无良企业昧心害死人。
可能期待值太高了，电影改编中规中矩，只是歌曲出现的时候本能反应激动地跟着唱了一下，剧情确实一般般……ps：为什么Conner没让Mike演😾😾
国内三聚氰胺……
i'm waving through the window
6.5/10 比黑水差太多了，剧情显得庸俗很一般
当权利与资本勾结为奸时，难道我们只能在绝望中等待遥不可及的运气？！

真实事件改编就足以震撼。最后10分钟，几方责任人都来却都像踢皮球一样把责任踢来踢去，真是有够讽刺。看着男主最后拿着杀菌剂洒向监管部门，好像压抑着自己的那团无名火也得到了发泄。
医生剖开发妻的胸膛，看到被资本毒害的肺脏。庶民坐在正义的殿堂，直面被金钱操纵的人心。杀菌剂故事的背后，是普通人捍卫生命权之路仍充满公仆的冷漠与法度的荒谬。诚然是邻国一部普普通通的流水线作品，但它的存在代表着诘问的声音，仅此一项，值得尊敬。
五味杂陈。上面的人把责任像皮球一样踢来踢去，受苦的永远都是平头老百姓
剧情走向…有一种把所有东西往里塞的感觉，到头来一个都没讲好，最后是个ambiguous ending
He said, you looked very pretty…uhh it looks pretty cool when you put indigo straights in your hair
期待很久的电影，出资源的时候找了很久的中字版本，还是没有。只有找在线版本了。该片秉承了高丽国根据真实事件改编电影的一贯传统，看的多了，会觉得节奏依旧，套路依旧，但凭着影片最后结尾的那一段，就值得满分！韩国现实还是很黑暗，或许民众也会随着时间流逝遗忘掉很多不公平的事，但幸运的是还有电影在提醒他们。
是我看的不对吗？剪的太多以至于根本不想讨论其他
略可惜，很可能是因为疫情的原因，场景、背景相较韩国电影以往独具特色的熙熙攘攘大嗓门的烟火气，显得很单调。可能想拍出黑水的气质，但是以传统情感家庭为主线，那个冷调是很难控好的。想一想，按照韩国以往类似题材的拍法，可能会显得浮夸，刻意，甚至有煽情的感觉，但是也会比现在好。因为那种闹中取静的冷调，气氛烘足给你一刀的残酷，才最显韩国电影独有的悲剧美学，但现在反而单调了，总感觉骨架很好，但是不够丰满，撑不起来的感觉。
还没看原剧，感觉还可以，剧情最后这样也挺合理的，没有太强行
男主通过幻想，看到了空气加湿器释放杀气，才认为是杀菌剂有问题，还有这样的操作？被自己公司的杀菌剂害死的家人，明知真相还要律师谈判，直接加入男主团，一起研究告知天下就行了。
