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)
到后期热泪盈眶，I have no time. I already 29.
30岁生日第一天看也太巧合了 前面20分钟一直想要呐喊谁在偷拍我的生活 然而后面的成功部分就与我无关了呵呵呵呵 总之是一个很棒的传记作品，就算是音乐剧形式也并不难接受，而且确实和人物很贴合
可能我本身就不太喜欢这种天才坚持自我的故事
《斯通纳》中的melody——爱、认同、怜悯、志业、傲骨、信任与死亡——在剧中流淌。好听好看又好玩😄
作为路人粉觉得无功无过，作为音乐电影应该在镜头、艺术设计上多加功夫，电影明显更像一部舞台剧，倒是加菲的表演提升了一个档次。
又焦虑又治愈，先入为主地认为凡妮莎还是适合歌舞片。
一个勇者有过的失败却不失意的人生：即使不能拥有完美的生活，所幸追求过完整的自我。
讲故事的方式很棒，在生活中创作，讲生活搬进音乐与音乐剧中，故事的讲述也就将生活和音乐剧融入一起，很自然。镜头画面也都很棒。加菲演过戏剧的原因吧，有功底，演唱也厉害呀。
8/10.
音乐满分 半传记形式满分
林聚聚导演的这部《倒数时刻》，描写的就是拉森创作《傲慢》最后一首歌的几天时间里的故事。这首歌的创作几乎将拉森折磨疯了。
电影叙事几乎流水账，几处本可以爆发的点欠力度。AG还是更擅长内敛细腻情绪的把控，遇到外向型角色不够自然，我猜他研习过无数遍Larson的录像，模仿之力溢出屏幕。不过外形气质更贴的演员我也想不出来 叹气
对百老汇几乎没有了解
选取三十岁前夕的工作坊筹备作为主要事件，它不是真的最后营救，却有效地映照出当时当地戏里戏外的遭遇和心情。跳脱的歌舞和纪实的传记类型，在一种相似的怀旧情愫中完成了合奏。
为什么，为什么，为什么我们总是没有时间了，为什么一切永远都做不完，为什么我不能永远做个小孩子
贫瘠地燃烧，燃烧到贫瘠。电影一般，内核动人，一流的故事、二流的剧本、三流的制作。很Beatnik，很社畜关怀，依靠free writing和improvising的创作完全解构世界的隐喻和意义、摆脱了象征秩序的压迫，叫嚣出最原始最纯粹的自我表达。我们为什么要玩火？当一败涂地的现实与热爱共存，人就获得了去挣扎去燃烧的所有动力。
本来是最应该让我感同身受的行业，但我却看得毫无共情。剧作家的早逝确实令人扼腕，但他生前的一切都是通俗的励志模板。
歌舞片连里面的歌都不好听，那就没什么好说了，更何况还有股浓浓的脱节感。
虽然觉得表现一般（感觉状态和主流里有点像而主流是我心理阴影），还是希望加菲靠倒数时刻奥斯卡封帝，方便磕CP。
两代才子惺惺相惜的隔空致意。加菲尔德太棒了。
