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)
被磕CP的大佬误导，差点以为这是个同志片……说真的很佩服强磕的各位。两位演员没说的，就是希特勒选角太尴尬了。
卡司不负我望 这种半架空的剧情知道历史就知道结局了 所以比较弱也可以理解
Paul不是没有勇气对着希特勒扣下扳机，他为了信念中的新德国和昔日的爱人恨不得对着希特勒的脑袋清空弹匣，只是当他面对那个他曾经狂热追随过的元首时内心闪过了一丝“怜悯”，曾经的狂热也即将再次点燃。毕竟什么都无法改变的时候试一试又何妨？
除了磕英德两位小哥哥的CP外没什么可看性.50/100
是我想拉国政猛男来看了并讨论的题材
中规中矩的历史片，如果不是剧情过于戏剧化让人出戏，几乎可以算得上很有质感了。对绥靖政策的放在当时历史背景下的解读不错，但是张伯伦试图赢得战备时间就纯粹是小说原著的无力解释了，毕竟德国才是充分利用时间完成战备的那一方。
挺有意思的题材，节奏和人物都非常温吞。Netflix拍这种题材还是差一口气
以为是讲少年气的血勇败给绥靖老头儿们的老奸巨猾，却原来最后成了为张伯伦洗地、平反。对这位厌战老兵“和平首相”的新解有所了解，但将之塑造为“我不下地狱谁下地狱”、以甘愿自侮不惧出丑而为国家为欧洲争取到宝贵时间⋯⋯啊，多少也是拐弯拐得有点急。不知道苏台德但泽斯克的人们愿不愿意接受这样的“委曲”。对照俄侵乌的当下，倒是令人唏嘘，历史不过是复读机，同样的台词、同样的人设，一次次地重演。两个男主演得相当不错。另：一次次地，那么多人曾经想肉体消灭大魔王，都没成功。这是天数，天不灭曹，人类的劫数。
彼时彼刻恰似此时此刻。两个年轻男主的人物设置比较吸睛，多给一星。
多一星给摄影。我一直都还蛮喜欢这种手持加快切的胶片色画面。
张伯伦这个角色太具有争议性，典型的揣着明白装糊涂。不过不得不说这部电影里的希特勒和张伯伦演绎得都很有特色，把刻板印象里的两个人物似乎都推翻了去重建，并且效果甚好。
真实历史之下架空的故事让发挥的空间小得多，虽然片子在某种程度上给出了对于张伯伦想法的解释，但是片尾字幕硬是夸大慕尼黑谈判给战争胜利带来的意义却也可笑。
有一点真让希特勒说准了。但是，我们每个人只能打手里的这副牌，出于骄傲的僭越并不会让我们更righteous。
7.5/10.
节奏挺好，没啥大的戏剧冲突，但是也挺紧张。张伯伦是真伟大还是真担心，这个还两说
不枉我等了444天（ps.荞麦和杰西卡姐姐二搭开心）
最后那几行字也是挺一言难尽的。
英国外交官不回家的原因找到了 心系德牧 （荞麦和三姐别搭了演完母子演夫妻这俩人真没啥cp感） 无论如何做出过努力而不是在等死，总会有希望，而不抱希望会更好。车内道别一场，美人流泪心痛！
7 历史永远比想象的更具体，也更现实，更无情，片中呈现的政治博弈还是偏戏剧性。guarding angel 很美。二战真是一个非常非常值得写的总母题，对于一二战间隙的和平争取，服务于错误的高尚事业的迷茫（《长日将尽》），战争与代际以及个人成长的绑定及其反思（《浮世画家》）。狂热地支持一项事业并不惜代价，巅峰就是战争。想读读《张伯伦传》了，是否真是 to buy time at the expense of one's own reputation
真实历史之下架空的故事让发挥的空间小得多，虽然片子在某种程度上给出了对于张伯伦想法的解释，但是片尾字幕硬是夸大慕尼黑谈判给战争胜利带来的意义却也可笑。
