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)
呜呜呜，这就是青春啊。
豆瓣评分虚高的片子里很多都符合几大因素：外国片，鸡汤多，少数群体，白左等 占两个就可以无脑五星。
最为热血的青春漫，竟然从一群小学生中间看到了。一个靠积分作为机械排名的阶级学校与人工智能，一个让人人成为精英的装置，在最后的奔跑马拉松中，融化孤独的温暖，传承老大面具的英雄，还有脱落自卑勇敢奔跑的女孩，每个人都发现了无意义背后的真实。
伸张正义才是正能量，掖着不让说不让拍不是。
ps：配乐很棒。
讨厌啦因为我现在一定要赢过风间才行。
4+ 很揪心也很燃，节奏有点慢。生命面前人人平等，种姓制度太可怕。
“我做错了什么？” “你生来有罪。”
一开始想因为律师的角色形象太过片面想打四星的，但后来想了一下这个片子是以时代来反映人物，而不是以人物反映时代，那么这个律师角色其实就是无数个追求和坚守正义的勇士的集合体，这么一想好像也自洽了。而且我还是希望能多一些这样聚焦底层人民的电影，所以多添加了一些个人情感，就把这部电影作为我2022年的第一个五星吧
立意当然是深刻的，美中不足是角色太模式化，基本都是单向度的。
虽然有浓浓的三哥电影特有的歌舞味 但这剧情背后的真人真厉害啊
好人和坏人泾渭分明……不过四星还是给比姆拉奥律师
节奏很好，很震撼！印度可怕的种性制度、固化的阶级、贫富极端化，女性地位……这些改变了吗？在印度，电影主创是低种姓人能踏入的领域吗？印度公布2021年人口统计达到14.1565亿人，按种性制度划分，只有1亿多算得上人，剩下的都是牲口，有多少正义感律师能让牲口变成人？2022·6·28 8.7/4.52万 短评1.44万条 %87/10/3 【IMDb8.9/19.1万 】
猛烈讽刺了警界的黑暗，但还是克制了：总警监保有良心，叫女主姐姐穿上裙子的老警员也保有良心。电影上映审查局：嗯，允许上映
正所谓“地也，你不分好歹何为地？天也，你错勘贤愚枉做天！”惟愿公平正义满人间，窦娥冤屈永世休！
青春是铁面具 是恋爱 是闪闪发光 是自卑感 是后悔 是人情世故 是孤独 是曾经拥有 是此时此刻 我愿称为年度最佳
这生而无人权的国家，这黑白颠倒的国家。种姓制度是印度最愚蠢黑暗的统治方法，可惜的是达利特人自己都不会反抗，印度教里总觉得这世吃尽了苦，下辈子才能换来幸福。好奇怪的理念，这辈子都不修，却在为渺茫的下辈子忍耐。另:印度人打人薅头发似乎是个习惯嘛
我始终觉得，这个世界欠小新一座奥斯卡。
沉重的批判现实主义题材，却部分改变了我对隔壁另一个文化古国的不良印象，什么时候才能去阿格拉，斋普尔，加尔各答游玩呢？片子前30分钟的田园牧歌让我想起萨雷伊的《大地之歌》，谁想后面却是一个如此血泪斑斑的故事啊
在有些地方，这种律师的出现是会被人肉被网暴被诬陷被威逼利诱被跨省追捕被消失的吧…
