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)
不要相信任何未经证实的事情，数学家就是这么做的。
我一直认为，世界上只有一种英雄主义，那就是打不过就加入。很高兴终于看到一部与我观点相同的电影
ᐈ我可以提高工作效率，我们不会再惹事了，我可以为你赚更多的钱
“那是自卑心理，那种家庭(单亲，中低收入户)的孩子内心有很多不满，你看有钱人家的孩子处事圆滑，个性随和。”自尊心–利益
看完这部电影 更加肯定了自己是一个数学学渣 。。。
ᐈ这个优秀的电影，没有任何多余的音效，最真实的生活投影
数学是解开宇宙奥秘的语言，可惜我学不会，수포자就是我，我一直特别喜欢学数学好的人，特别能理解像北大韦神这样沉浸在数学公式里的天才，圆周率之歌真的太美妙
巴赫真是最爱啊！上周歌剧入门赏析里提到巴赫其实是管风琴演奏家。希望有一天能去圣托马斯教堂瞻礼
哎，最后成了自己当初讨厌的样子，向生活和现实低了头。
片子还是值得一看的！
意义好像很大，但是电影很难看。。。
巴西底层人民想要赚钱也是真难，最终也逃脱不了被资本家剥削的命运！
精英高中最强扫数学地僧。
讲教育公平吧 黑狗拍得更好 讲南北问题吧 篇幅太短了而且没啥看点（看到说朝鲜话的汤峻相真的很容易跳戏到爱酱🤣
这里不是监狱，却比监狱更加黑暗。人性都是现实的，其他三个人不是可以抗拒诱惑，而是根本没有得到诱惑的机会。导演真敢拍。
数学扫地僧的故事~结尾太理想化了，两星半～
你不做也会有人会做，最终，还是变成了自己讨厌的人。
-努力的人是第二个放弃的

韩国大众电影的特点是故事的讲述非常吸引人，无论拍法如何套路，观众都会始终沉浸地看完，胸腰部电影的平均素质过硬！以及崔先生的演技实在是太好了（和天才基本法的故事有点像，代餐实在好磕）
