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)
忠武路日常黑北边和自己！反正什么题材都能转到这话题上，真不浪费半岛独一无二的政治格局啊！崔岷植长相不太像北棒黄政民要像些吧！
电影里出现他儿子的时候，那些对话真让人窒息，永不停止的“歌颂”真是奇怪的国家
自怜是一直可怕的疾病
数学+巴赫+乌龟的元素组合，合理怀疑编剧/导演是侯世达GEB书迷。
怎么中间突然断截一样……前半段的风格蛮喜欢的
平淡的就像无味的白水，无毒无害无意义，我可是要喝牛奶的
我想，我对数学，数字的一切热爱就是从高中被开始剥夺的吧。
丘成桐就职研说
节奏一般，剧情可预见，最后一段讲话太low了。顺带评一下豆瓣没有的夜叉：3星，yy的有点严重啊，在大沈阳那样打打杀杀还能全身而退？但看着挺爽的。这次两大影帝剧本选的都一般
ᐈ我跟你一样来自一个粪坑，在一条污水明渠旁边的棚屋长大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
-什么人能做好数学家？
俗套生硬的剧情 比男主长满痘疤的脸还拉胯 崔大叔演技一直很赞 但是救不了
简单小片子 能引发一些关于人类社会 关于人性的思考。
前半段虽然cliche但我还是热泪盈眶，但是后半段cliche到我真的会栓q，图穷匕首见，目的性太强破坏了那么点仅剩的美感。电影唯一新鲜的设定竟然是猜想证明了黎曼猜想|-|害
真实人性，没有那么多嫉恶如仇，没有那么多情谊，在利益面前，谁都可能成为我的战友，成为新的施暴者，社会有等级，永远是不公平的。不该剥削。7囚徒没有对错，亦没有选择。剥削者被剥削着，培养新的剥削者。一代又一代，阶级是罪恶的根本。
若《浮俘》的渔民苦力尚是被遮掩的奴役，尚有对错之分、渔民的反戈一击存在“正当防卫”的合理性，《七囚徒》则是光明正大地拐卖人口，是《用后即弃的人》的所言及的“新奴隶制”，以致于男主角最终决定投诚，我们会认为是一个正确的决定，我们很快被这种经济、权力地位的提升所鼓舞，庆幸可以从第一视角感知人生的阶层跨越、焕然一新，所以我们会快乐，替男主松口气，却忘记铁门后眼巴巴被囚禁的其他人。这也是金钱至上的价值观反复驯化的结果，导演让观众变成小丑，一步一步成为恶的帮凶，放弃正义、善，并声称“不得已”。糟糕的人情社会中，连恶势力都会成为参政议员高升的靠山，而恶势力掌握的则是底层没有机会出人投地的劳动力，因为他们拥有合法的枪支。底层从黑社会体系中以暴力、以服膺获取升迁进而洗白，竟成了唯一出路，令人倍感惊悚。
3.想要做“屠龙者”，却成为了“龙”。
孤独扫地僧与孤独废材相互救赎的故事，偏流水线，些许刻意，稍欠真诚，也并不难看，孤独排斥陪伴却又渴望陪伴，缺的仅是同频
你不做也会有人会做，最终，还是变成了自己讨厌的人。
其实该是三星半 很喜欢老师对于学数学的态度那段话 掺杂了政治因素进来稍微有点无奈 对于剧情的推动有作用又好像没作用Otz
