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)
多少年后
虽然晓得看印度神片跟看我国抗战神剧一样，不能深思其中的合理性，可是每当看到主角们受了重伤后，上一秒还是奄奄一息，下一秒打起架来就生龙活虎，战斗力爆棚时就忍不住想要吐槽。
影片质量还是不错的，拍出了一定的紧张感，但因为这是历史，不存在任何的悬念，所以签署《慕尼黑协议》和哈特曼刺杀希特勒的事情没有任何刺激感，因为有点历史知识的人都知道结果早已注定。我只对一点比较不满意，那就是影片给张伯伦的洗白，绥靖主义就是妥协式的投降，这有啥好洗的？当然我也认为保守党如果换个人执政，也未必就比张伯伦做的好，当时的环境和实力，其他人当首相也未必就比张伯伦更有勇气。即使张伯伦不签署《慕尼黑协议》，希特勒箭在弦上了，几乎也会百分百的去占领苏台德地区，但如果张伯伦真有勇气不签，谁知道历史会不会变好一点呢？谁也不知道那样历史会走向何方！但我觉得也不会比真实的历史再差了吧！按照影片质量，我想给7.5分，但洗白不好，所以只给4星7.2分！
这种欺男霸女式的民族主义的兴起有种难以言说的可怕。5
A twist after a twist after a twist after a twist…
两人在大桥底下浪荡秋千，在天台顶上引体向上；双人舞后分上下，功夫场中搞缠斗。
其实了解一下一战后英国有多么力不从心就不难理解影片中张伯伦为什么说自己只能打好手上有限的牌。你也不能以一个几十年之后的角度去批判当下的决定。谁都能当armchair quarterback但又有什么意思呢。
剧情节奏很慢的电影，又没有很享受的过程，没有看下去的欲望。粗略看解说，简单来说就是失去了阻止二战的一次绝佳机会，但历史不能够重演了，讲这些有多大意义呢？做好当下为和平付出的努力，维护当下世界和平才是正道。
从事后来解读希特勒和张伯伦有点马后炮的感觉，人们不能选择生活在哪个时代，只能对时代做出反应
真不愧为印度版战狼，浮夸到极致，神灵分分钟附体，谈笑间对手灰飞烟灭。
奇葩的片名加上夸张的动作，也不是不能看，就是时长这个老毛病改不了
以一对挚友的角度映射二战前后，但是历史像按下repeat键的播放器停不下来。
1930，夏天，牛津，同窗，分道扬镳，重逢，分享一根烟。就这你问我有没有看出queer subtext？嗯？22年2月底，历史照进现实了。
（温莎公爵你怎么在这?x）
美术和舞蹈设计部分非常出彩，几段转场也很惊艳。看的印度人民一本正经的开挂，确实能给人带来不少乐趣。感谢印度神片给我带来三个小时快乐。
geschwester Scholz Platz和Odeonsplatz😭
印度战狼名不虚传，种种浮夸又极具想象力的动作设计让人叹服。印度演员也真不容易，光编排舞蹈就挺费时间吧，肢体不协调都演不了男主。赤手屠熊搏虎，乔峰来了都不一定打得过这俩兄弟吧😂又尬又乐，看完开心一整天
两人在大桥底下浪荡秋千，在天台顶上引体向上；双人舞后分上下，功夫场中搞缠斗。
前有抗日大队手撕鬼子，后有印度革命两大战狼端了英国老巢。原来抛开意识形态，民族大义，家仇国恨看战狼是这么欢乐的一件事情。
正史中描写虚拟人物的故事。也许并不假，只是未被看到并写出。剧情并不需要如此叨叨唠唠的。有点长了。
