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)
太棒了，在美国往事的生活，那么生动的展现出来，并且结合登月的事件，我都想搞个中国版的了，其实就是记忆和情怀
拍得还算不错，絮絮叨叨地带观众走入导演自己的少年时代。要说共鸣是难，却很容易代入自己的年少时光，陷入一些怀念之中。
用Essay形式来讲故事。美国的六十年代和我们的九十年代差不多，所以看得我这个八零后觉得好亲切。
3.5分。林克莱特的少年时代，疯狂理想的美国航天梦，背景里危机四伏的年代。其实深层意义与现代又有什么区别呢？依然是战争瘟疫肆虐，航天遥不可及。
确实好像是围绕登月但只讲了一点点登月故事的登月
3.5星吧，其实挺喜欢的，原来我们的8/90年代是美国的6/70年代，而且高度相似、满满的回忆杀。我看的不太连贯和投入，给自己扣0.5星
话痨依旧
真正的热爱
俄宣品。忍住把最后冒出来的事了拂衣去的那段亮相删掉，效果估计会更好些。水准一般。稍凌乱。可与 沃伦 Wołyń (2016)同服。
那个年代确实是时代迅速发展的年代，我看的更多的像是传记电影，去了解那时候人们的童年。
小島出生的六十年代，在已經確定的歷史中，穿插一段空想，當時對未來還抱有憧憬的社會氛圍，登上月球探索宇宙時的人類共同體意識，現在只覺得懷念
1969年
感觉“阿富汗战友”的时间和年龄的设定有bug。
视频版俄罗斯发动乌克兰特别军事行动之战斗檄文
就影片而言，后面的设计感过于强烈。
太好看了吧不管是剧情还是人物我都好喜欢救命值得推荐一下
从开始到快结束，完全没有感觉到一丝希望，偶尔有“好起来了”这样的感觉，接踵而至的总会是现实更残忍的冲击。
这个画风好喜欢好复古，把小镇生活和太空探索结合得很好。生活的细节和登月这样宏大的叙事放在一起，又有着轻松愉快的基调，观影过程很舒适啊
在今天俄羅斯與烏克蘭正拼鬥的如火如荼之際，看這部電影真有特殊的意義。
这种rotoscope的动画技术真实但又很诡异。结尾妈妈那句“how memory works”不要说就好了。总体就是一篇文章可以搞定的事情拍了一部电影。
