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)
之前有人说这是另一部《罗马》，感觉被误导了。质量上未免差得太多。整部片子豆很匠气，太过设计感了。风格也有点不统一。
故事很完整，新装备酷炫，制作也精良，只是新画风的人物有点看不习惯
装备不错，哈哈哈。低幼里面又有些不一样的东西，确实有电影的画面和赶脚了，还不错，比上一部好看。
构图是不错的，但是没有必要的空镜过多。乡愁以儿子的视角建立其实本身也挺弱的，因为孩子还小到没有建立起自我(周围人问他“你想要的是什么”的次数不要太多)和更多的世界观，对贝尔法斯特的依恋一半都是来自对同班女生的暗恋。然后导演就在这样一个角色身上谈乡愁，确实太“为赋新词强说愁”。
#陪娃看电影系列#几经疫情后，第一次重返影院是陪娃看娃喜欢的汪汪队，一贯地正能量！
那个时代的无数爱尔兰人选择来了南半球，如今和我坐在同一个影厅里看60年代的他们的家乡。
丫头的第一部影院电影。情节紧凑，后面小朋友们笑得前俯后仰，作为一个成年人看这部幼儿动画竟然毫无违和感，可以可以，五星！
“For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost.”故乡这两个字，无论最后扎根在哪里，都是不一般的份量。那些熟悉的一草一木、楼房街景，甚至于讨厌的邻里和八卦，在走之前和走了后都是会想念、留恋与不舍的。但就如片中老一辈所说的那样，“There were no roads to Shangri la from our part of Belfast.”“Get yourself to the moon. ”
莱德有钱是因为卖汪汪队的周边，哈哈哈！还是一个房地产商
It’s imperfect, but quite sentimental.
贝尔法斯特是我印象里很喜欢的一个城市，由此通过对这个电影的兴趣。背景是1968的北爱尔兰内战，关于新教徒和天主教徒。虽然对此段历史不大了解，但这个背景下所发生的故事给电影带来了一种漂泊感。
dodo也被家乡的依靠说过同样的话：

有些生活片段是有趣的，比如爷爷教孙子做题如何靠模糊字迹多拿分。看来我可以看儿童当主角的电影，但青春疼痛就大可不必了。看此片时我因为睡眠不稳定导致神智不清脑子一团浆糊，不过我还是喜欢的，多么不客观～
有闪光点，但我这么一个自诩有乡愁的人都觉得矫情。摄影是目前最拉垮一部
眼前的生活未必那么糟，远方的生活也不见得那么好，为了可能的生活远离故土，决心是很难下的，特别是，这里还有你闭着眼睛都不会迷路的街道，像呼吸一样自然的口音，一直爱你的人，你第一次心动的人，为你打开一扇窗的事。这是导演很私人的回忆，黑白的形式又比较劝退，可能有类似心境的人才比较容易共情吧，后半段我哭得像个傻逼
总觉得对自己的童年包裹的糖衣太多了以至于很多地方在刻意的童真，刻意的无暇，刻意的溢美。北爱是一个很值得拍也有很多可以挖的地方，就personal的太多，有点影响观影的共鸣吧。
看过风吹麦浪，对北爱尔兰那段历史还蛮感兴趣的，片子黑白质感不错，但是有点做作，也不喜欢时不时来段歌曲。
小孩看得很欢乐，有些情节挺緊张的，有时也搞笑
我居然和孩子一起认认真真的看结束了，尤其阿奇被抓那一段，儿子哭了，以小朋友的视角去看应该还不错
