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)
6.5 / 所以应该翻译成「猛男落泪」哈哈哈～其实比起伍迪，东木更像电影界的活化石，靠持续不断的产出，努力证明着自己宝刀未老。最近的这几部，每一部都在诉说着自己的坚强、对子女的亏欠，以及不愿被人忘却的那份心底的柔情。
可能老人家到了那个年纪都希望世界还是要像童话一样美好就好了。
这部拍的确实有点糙，考虑老爷子的年龄多给一星。
东木大爷的电影已经不能用正常电影的评判标准去看了
Chicken is macho(strong)
92岁英雄迟暮的克林特·伊斯特伍德还在依然当镖客,泡老奶奶。
东木老已，近几部都给人一种无力感，这部更是完全没有特点，过于老套，之前仅剩的硬汉感也消失殆尽了
三星半。一出童话，关于成长、老去和自我救赎的童话。老牛仔风采依旧，但不再那么尖锐，而是平静且温和。
东木大爷的电影已经不能用正常电影的评判标准去看了
相当有失水准的克林特的电影，但是为了看他，我也愿意看。可是确实是他发挥得不好的一部电影。
剧情平淡了点，音乐和摄影还是相当不错，能看见91岁的东木还在拍片，演戏已然足够了～
两倍速看完是个挺可爱温柔的故事 he版老爷车 哈哈哈
东木老爷子依然创作力旺盛，可也想着休息咯～
老爷子的电影一直都是质量的保证，就像本人一样永远逗人喜爱啊，不过这次的电影失手了。故事陈旧且水平不行，毫无新意，只够两星水准。
67/100。相较于《骡子》《理查德·朱维尔的哀歌》这两部还带有一定指向性的前作来说，克林特·伊斯特伍德在本片中则完全褪掉了对社会现象的自我认知，而转成了一个耄耋之年的老人与生活达成的某种自我和解。很多可能在他年轻时的电影中变得“刺激”“惊险”的桥段被磨平了所有棱角，只剩下一种淡淡的温柔思索，让人窥见了暮年英雄心中最静谧的一面。当然这样的处理方法一方面让人舒心，另一方面还是让全片显得有些不伦不类，让那些矛盾点变得来也匆匆、去也匆匆，只能远观，不能细看。
如何温柔地与现实妥协，脚步放缓的同时也试图想让一切变的更加细水长流，让所有的美好都更加美好，让所有的温情都更加动人，没有任何技巧，没有任何所谓的套路与转折，只看到我们自己内心真正想要的东西。不过可以看出最后的倔强依然也在被保留和坚持，这趟关于西部情怀的公路之旅，是应该让当下花花世界所看到的，需要被铭记的那段回忆与歌谣。所有美好到不真实的瞬间都或许是自己享受过的梦境，不愿醒来，因为醒来的时候眼角会湿润。
哎，真是好失望，以为东木老爷子最后要去一下西部牛仔，结果这个牛仔不硬，也整不动了
90岁的老牛仔 依旧温情硬朗 墨西哥风情公路片
东木是真的老了 就连看骡子的时候都没有那种扑面而来的老去 就连结局也无比像此时此刻的东木的创作心境 那些新世代的年轻人继续上路吧 我只想和我爱的人跳跳舞 将那些年与世对抗的心气慢慢放下 温柔地老去…
#豆瓣电影 陪阿欣过午夜付钱 老戏骨身体健康、开心就好。你想玩啥，我都看👍🏻 哭泣的男人.Cry.Macho.2021.1080p.WEBRip.x264-RARBG
