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)
天鹅垂死时都会唱起凄婉的歌，直到生命的最后一刻。
披着后现代的幌子，讲了一个其实很老套的一体两面自我和解的故事，精致的摄影勾不起人任何的欲望
某镜没了，每年能看这么部作品也行呀。
最近很不喜欢讲大道理的电影，宁可把 天鹅挽歌 当一个科幻片看，也不愿去想电影里为爱的人牺牲或者人面对自己的时候有多痛苦。故事是在不远的未来，一个有apple自动驾驶和apple眼镜已经做成隐形眼镜的未来，快病死的男主角在一个apple审美的地方克隆了一个自己，并把记忆移植给了克隆体，让克隆体去替代自己生活。不要问为什么这么多apple，因为播出平台就是apple+。想简单一点，这电影就好看了，阿里一脸便秘式的分饰两个自己也的确该拿金球奖影帝提名。
随风升华
沉浸而克制，整部剧作还是欠些许火候，只是，最后一秒还是没绷住。
为什么我想起了一本古早言情小说，叫《会有天使替我爱你》
如果不按照科幻伦理片来看 毕竟剧本和逻辑上的漏洞还是很多的 单纯当作家庭和文艺电影 片子还是有很多可圈可点之处 用了大量笔墨细腻的梳理整个翻墙流动 结构和节奏非常缓慢耐心 一切都围绕着主角的内心世界设计 也算是助力冲奥片才有的效果
二十分钟能讲完的事愣是要拍成俩小时。所幸影片有超强的美术风格和精致的配乐，当俩小时mv看每一帧都是享受。
在克隆题材下，选择没有野心的“托孤告别”。其实是老生常谈的话题，但是高科技的环境下，电影有了同一人一心两面的刻画可能。站在两个角度上的同一个人可以有镜像般的面对。接受死亡、接受自己的破败、接受另外的可能，而从另一个角度，这也是对自己的相信。马赫沙拉·阿里太稳了。
回到那片樹林、大海、高山，然後安靜地死去....
整体立意并没有特别打动我，但还是很喜欢片尾那句台词：
没想到这几个人物的演出就完成了这样一部有内容的好电影，看的过程中就有想流泪的感觉，看到影片最后两行热泪也跟着流下来，很完美的收尾。
ps,影片里的高科技真不错~
死亡与离别才叫生命完整，才令相爱的时光珍贵。如果我不在了，我希望有人知晓，时不时泛起的记忆带来泪花或微笑。如果我爱的人不在了，我一定不想要一个复制替代品，我要为那个真实活过的人疯狂嚎哭，日日夜夜思念哀悼。
和《双重躯体》做交叉观影大概会很恶趣味www
剧情往往都跟自己想的不一样，剧本很高级，拍好了，闻名于世，拍不好，臭名远扬，中规中矩，就无人知晓
一开始看我就在想自己要不要完全复制自己，大概也是经历了跟男主角一样的心路历程。先觉得未尝不可，但是和复制人重合的那段时间可真难受啊，眼睁睁的看着自己被替代。但是看到自己爱的人还能那么幸福，又觉得为啥不呢？哎，千万不要让我有这种选项。
我猜Ntr都不愿意干这事...好多可以挖掘的深度和矛盾比如自我和存在这种都没没拍出来，临门差几脚。
其实拥有记忆了，就是“you are you”了，可惜人类都可以转移记忆了，却还不能治愈癌症。很期待苹果那辆无人驾驶的车上市
