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)
三观这么正还能和行为保持一致，还不吸大麻的欧美青春片男主也是第一次见
好久没看青春校园题材了，再加上Metal，老泪纵横
为啥我觉得不好看，本身很喜欢看青春校园电影的，而且叠加音乐
看完觉得没有达到预期吧，很多情节比较老套，比如最后的结局在他们逃进银行就已经注定了，而直升机的情节也很老套，包括因为老婆被抓就叛变都是常见套路。一些紧张的氛围制造的还不错，但是人物塑造的比较简单，不够立体，像男主的心也太善良了吧，作为起义军，连狠辣都做不到，就像一个被欺负和抛弃的小孩，让人很难认同，那个司法部长的女儿也是一个彻头彻尾的工具人，塑造的太苍白了，所以最后被射杀也很难让人触动。所以电影想传达的核心思想完全流于了表面，比较让人失望。
freedom cost everything
一些好看的人非常认真的做着一些够燥够叛逆的事情的时候会显得很可爱。
我们从小就被教育着分辨黑白与是非 成长则是为了看清这个世界从来不是非黑即白
没想到大提琴也可以玩重金属！大提琴手用电子大提琴出场的时候帅炸了！片中的大提琴曲目是巴赫大提琴无伴奏组曲的 suite 1, 还是很经典的。为了“过审”，乐队名字从 skullfucker 换成 skullflower 也是很有创意了。
一般美国青春片的套路是女主意外地加入乐团后，如何和大家磨合，再顺便和其中的团员发生爱情线.....
真年轻真可爱啊skullflower哈哈哈

片如其名，十分亲切的练习歌单，metal融入青春期友情爱情，值得一看。
4.5⭐
中二，青春，套用了金属元素，欢乐，轻松，没有爱情线更好的看完了乐呵呵的爆米花片
关于自由与信仰的故事，最后悲壮的结尾令人唏嘘，What’s the price of freedom? Everything !，多么沉重的一句对白，感同身受
Fuck we rip it! A teen film with all those cliché, but it still hit me. 长发Hunter真的美啊！
在想，
警察对他们展开了激烈的殊死追捕，他们被迫躲在银行内避难
Metal is taking the wheel.真的不该Finn来演吗＞＜！
