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)
对比国内一些片子连故事都拍不好，我真的感到可惜。这部片子有亲情有爱情，话说中间他们谈恋爱那一段整得老夫心花路放，无奈的是现实生活中哪有这种呢。求求国产片，故事说不好，画面拍不好就不要拍一些垃圾了。
①不是单纯的猫画家的故事，不是单纯的猫画家和女家庭教师的爱情的故事，也不是猫画家念念不忘亡妻的故事，这是关于猫画家一生都在找寻被电流击中的感受的人生故事；②什么是精神分裂症，什么又是天才呢？也许，不被绝大多数人认可的天才，也是精神分裂症；③人生追求结果是毫无意义的，因为每个人都会老，都会死，都会无可救药，意义是留给后人的，当事人满身的天才，又能如何呢？④猫画家的一大家子原生家庭女人都指着韦恩来养活，而且，不给钱就捣乱，这其中也许有时代的因素，不过至少这部电影极端女拳是不会喜欢的；⑤我宣布卷福已经跻身表演艺术家行列了；⑥三星半。
审美拉满，男主角性格奇葩，和妻子的部分最是好看，好多少女感满满的画面。猫咪真的太可爱了，画作也很棒。日本人拍这个，调调喝酒镜头感真的好。
我被激情两个字误导了。人生不错，激情谈不上。
前半部分挺好，姐姐的情节和林允儿爱上男主真是出乎意料。后半部分，全员演技在线，但有点悲伤也有点拖沓。7.5分
个人太偏爱亲情向的故事了 韩国人又尤其会拍这种家庭亲情 看到最后才知道竟然是根据真实故事改的 又加分了
首先，作为传记片，真实的故事为剧情奠定了扎实的基础。
火车站修好了 也会在村庄停下了
我觉得导演肯定不是猫党，拍不好猫就肯定拍不好一个猫痴的一生。
父子和解、姐姐那条线、青春爱情、铁路修建充实的多线叙事。虽然感觉差点火候吧，但完成度可以。林允儿太好看了吧。
本尼真的很会演那种将自己困于精神世界里而无比孤独的人
俊京爸爸说“我的列车还在等你”一下子破防了555，有爱就有奇迹呀～
肿么讲？就是爱猫之人不想给这个片子减分，但是确实又是本尼献出的神奇的无语之片。。。
4：3的画幅我是多久没看到了，感觉不一样。
推荐前半部，节奏青春感都好，虽然男主气质真的不适合演高中生了。。。后半部开始煽情，节奏拖沓也无聊了。。。

明线是少年要为家乡建火车站，暗线其实是男主和父亲和自己内心的和解，为了家乡，为了梦想，为了姐姐一直坚持，坠棒滴少年~
整体来看前后剧情有点割裂 各讲各的最后又强行拉回来 难道朴正民只能拿到这样的本子当主演么？哭 什么时候能熬出头啊
很好看的文艺片，姐姐的陪伴就是一种奇迹吧，这一些似乎都是奇迹。p.s 允儿好美啊～
人物塑造的不够立体，靠演员和舞美留住观众不退场
