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)
虽然没有血缘关系，但能够封存自己的梦想，顶住各种压力和不解的目光，把孩子抚养长大，这种爱是伟大的！
阿三在民生题材这块拿捏得死死的，上次的代考，司法腐败，越敏感越敢拍，包括这次选择的代孕。大致思路其实很好猜，无非就是代孕父母不肯还孩子，亲生父母不肯要，结果两个结果都有，在美国父母放弃孩子后一度担心拉胯，幸好最后圆了回来，尽管有些牵强，但是看着印度妈妈带着金发白小孩，美国父母领养印度女孩，只能佩服阿三想象力的丰富，不过老实说女主的表演绝对OK，控制身材相当有说服力，值得推荐！！
不得不承认，一时春风得意后又被老相好气得上不来气的麦子，是最令人辗转反侧的一版格林德沃。忽略稀烂的文戏，坐电影院里当欣赏原声和服化道场景美术傻乐了俩小时，临结束忽然我cp稀里糊涂就离了，难受得后半夜都睡不着，我好像个狗走在路上被人拉过去揍了两拳。但是剧情奇怪死也阻止不了我夸美术，从伦敦到柏林再到不丹，宴会厅里的暴雨和书页桥，喜马拉雅山脉清新冷冽的空气，烘焙坊一场婚礼门外的雪，无比绚丽又真实可感。商业片，但是精美而古典。
华纳不会拍电影可以不拍，这部神奇动物在哪里是什么垃圾狗屎啊，给这五年看过的烂片列个排行榜它一定名列前三。格林德沃想上位竟然靠的他妈是选举，当着现场直播的面用钻心剜骨一群人屁都不敢放一个，纽特上来质疑的竟然是他妈格林德沃操纵了选举，这个结果是假的！然后一群人才敢拿魔杖指着他。好家伙这是部讽刺西方现实的现实主义电影是吧，只要程序正义就行了是吧我踏马吐了。
美帝情侣去印西北找代孕后始乱终弃。欢乐结尾扣一星，台词很深，将殖民和新自由主义对第三世界身体的暴力描绘得很生动。how can i fight a white angel? This is their rented sugarcane farm. 拉贾斯坦的宗教张力也若隐若现。可列入后殖民必看片。
何谓血缘 须得血肉相融 同生同长 否则仅仅是细胞与细胞的结合 染色体与染色体的碰撞 意义甚小。
我也气他们 但我更爱这个小孩
麦斯米科尔森演反派已经能让我忽略这部电影所有的缺点
寻思找个喜剧看看，我就说这题材咋能做成喜剧，果然不是很喜。。。
对代孕这个时髦话题的影视作品还是第一次见，国内影片有类似的么？
希望不要再出第四部了，直接飞特效而不念咒语的打架方式十分糟糕
题材不错，不仅印度，乌克兰更是整个欧洲的代孕国家，女性商品化，工具化，不得不让人思考这政府是什么玩意。
代孕？我的天、这个点有点牛逼啊！😯后来美国夫妇领养了一个小女孩就回去了？怎么感觉剧组没经费了呢？草草结束啦！！！还差点深度哦😯
我在看什么
女主代孕，快生的时候说唐氏综合征，美国夫妇跑了。女主扛着未婚、生育、宗教的压力生了下来。孩子没事，养到4岁，美国夫妇又回来要带走孩子……
代孕是个道德伦理冲突点颇多的题材，笑泪混杂，非常适合徐峥来拍。他自己演片中的那个出租车司机也是毫无违和感。背景设在东北的某个三四线小城市，两个矮小黝黑的东南亚有钱夫妇看上某个身材高挑、肤色白皙的漂亮北方女人。。。文化地域差异也很有看点
没想到代孕在印度合法，这片是不是也在用美国人影射美国。
小孩真的那么重要吗？郑爽想打掉的孩子怎么办？
年代感极强 导演画面处理水平一流 剧情平铺直叙 后面有起伏 我喜欢这种电影
如果每次都惊艳于印度电影的题材 那本身就是一种偏见
