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)
这电影最精彩的不只是捏把汗看老白（不是）研究彩票，彩票存在bug也好，反正彩票公司永远都是赚的！！！
打工人“下岗”退休后无所事事，因为自己数学智商了发现彩票漏洞，找到自己的才能发挥用处，很典型美式故事。
nb
我觉得很好看诶，是真实的故事改编的呢，最讨厌那个哈佛自私小孩了。
我的天看完巨上头，除了铺垫有点长，另一位女主出场后太好看了。沙滩的亲密戏太美了。女主让我想起了年轻（？）时的自己，热情到没头没脑，在感情中喜欢“强求”——然而看看电影吧朋友们，这样的“强求”才能获得/延长幸福，理智的大人们只会流着泪离开。（然后一直走不出去hh
温馨愉快的电影，乡村蓝调的配乐。退休老白借着概率学博彩票的机遇，重燃了爱情，笼络的儿子，更是帮助小镇重建了爵士音乐节。剧情还不错，就是太平淡了点
以及，对擅长数学的人进一步崇拜。
很有趣很有爱的故事，看老白的演技确实也是一种享受！
如果不是毒师宇宙脑残粉，本片可以跳过。彩票版“老头子做事总不会错”，夫妇之同心完胜毒师CP离心离德呀。杰瑞和老白一样，有点异于常人的数理化本领，电影篇幅有限，算法不展开了，看不懂就领会精神好了——美其名曰“找到自己擅长的方式与人沟通“(不小心跑偏的话，就是老白的情况：本人擅长犯罪)。另外，便利店掌柜的是《极品老妈》后期邦妮的心理医生，人设也是被离婚，算是角色联动自我调侃吗？
每隔一段时间 ，我就需要看一部这样没有好人受伤的爽片
2022年7月25日看完，太喜欢这部电影了。一来有老白必然值得看，他太会挑剧本了。二来价值观太吻合，即使利用lottery获得两千万美元的收益，但是仍然不会用来换掉自己的车，而是成立小镇的复兴基金。三来，想到最近网友转发的哈佛大学校长2022毕业演讲：给别人留个位置，意思是作为哈佛毕业生已经是一个巨大的privilege了，比世界上任何其他人都具有更多的机会来改变世界，也比其他人更有机会帮助其他人过上更好的生活。
To infinity and beyond🚀
3.5星。总觉得似曾相识，原来就是女主角之前演过的A trois on y va的剧情套路。新浪潮导演侯麦算是三角恋题材的始祖，而之后更在欧容和穆雷的作品里打破性向界限，这种性向自由流动的作品让人绝对是法国人的专利。这部处女作强调女性的直觉和自然风光，不论是风景还是演技都赏心悦目，不过这位女演员饰演少女，怎么看都觉得有点吃力了……
這般極具奉獻精神的人，只有電影里才會出現吧？
文艺青年也许会觉得这部讲投机的电影一点也不浪漫不important。其实干预财富再分配超级爽的，带邻居挣钱就能收获立竿见影的友谊，这就是现实生活里的美梦成真。
20220716看完，小镇居民，很可爱。生活中有比钱和赢更重要的东西值得守护。
在美国传统美德价值观面前的进步主义平权主义与放任主义教育下的新一代人残存只有自私自利尔虞我诈，红鼻子狠狠扇了华尔街精英一耳光。
我承认我是个数学废物 彩票bug饭喂到嘴边 我 “这啥 不会炫 谢谢
看完我满脸问号，如同最后一句台词，hello？
毒师律师都开创第二职业。律师和毒师里的老人聚首就值得看
