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)
故事线承接思悼，讲述辛酉迫害之局部…设置多个二元对立的表达法，天主教义与程朱理学对立，兄弟对立，师徒对立，儒家士大夫道德追求与官僚体系对立…风景大好，叙事可惜浅白造作了些…
小国、小时代、小岛、小小渔事、小人物写一本小书，却以至大道辽远。
好遗憾啊，明明是很有潜力的题材，故事中有太多东西让我心软，前半部分看起来很“高级”，却被庸俗的音乐、闪回和蓝色露出了马脚，越到后面越仓促，可以说是持续让人失望。
田心，黑山《经世遗表》，学习一下？
导演把刘亚仁姜河那卞约汉都导了一遍……// 开篇让人好奇，这是想拍理念、东西、儒耶还是纯粹的党争。同样的题材，或许换个中国导演拍不出这种韩史剧的地气和节奏，因此有新鲜感。前半段纠结黑白色度，看到后面昌大穿上白色的两班服眼睛才舒服下来（无言）。婴儿军布那场戏，昌大伸手挠下巴一幕正令人眼前一亮，下一幕就解开系绳打了上去……昌大回到了兹山，故事也几乎回到了原点，除了两本书。循环往复中，最后竟然还是书获得了胜利。ps 这里有少见的令人开心的评论区。
顶着非正路的污名钻研万物百科的先学。
真是四海无闲田呀！

写明德圣贤之书不如写鱼谱是时代的悲哀。而如今的我看抨击揭露的价值观电影不如看纯粹的审美艺术电影。这样的说教改变不了什么，而提升审美鉴赏才能对社会的丑恶不屑并说不。我的这种想法是否也是种悲哀。说教浅显故事套路，总算还有点师徒之情值得说道说道。
知识分子的心灵史。入世与出世，求道与济世，理想与现实。丁氏的流放心路让人不禁想起了苏东坡、王阳明的历史故事。
人世令人失望，能容纳我们的是自然之爱、万物本身具有的奇迹，它们存在就是美妙的，好奇心、考据与纪录，博物学是爱世界的畸零人永远的家。（这倒不是电影的重点。）在一开始，老师不也是把昌大看作假想敌吗。
还有很多值得拍的，神农、孙思邈、蔡伦、徐光启、贾思勰、沈括、司马迁、王贞仪，在大慈恩寺翻译经文的玄奘，等等。
5/10。正剧喜剧化，想到同样黑白摄影的《影》，我更喜欢张艺谋那种装模作样范，并且这部的视听完全是古早电视剧水平。我已经脑补到邓超搭档陈道明拍一部中国师生情金鸡八项提名了。
拍得不错，但我真希望是我们中国人拍出来的啊。
哦它又双叒叕传说中的水墨电影噶~~~你咋就知道没有龙王呢？SB拍个素媛2难道不更香吗？
3.5。前半部分挺好，后半部分太明显开始讲道理。最怕韩国电影这种沉重的气息。3.5给了四星而不是三星，因为第一次知道有《兹山鱼谱》这个东西，了不起的来历。这位作者想必会是东坡的神交之友
对“苛捐杂税”的细节例证很有趣。老师最后写就的不仅是一本科学著作，也是有人情味的非虚构散文，这点也特别好。韩国电影怎么那么喜欢用小人物的喜剧脸谱来谄媚观众啊（扶额
官场黑暗，不如闲云野鹤，但平民又怎能不受压迫的生活呢？不知道为什么一定用黑白色。感觉只有结尾的书信比较出彩，其他部分平平无奇。
颇具古风韵味的古装剧，山海人与诗词歌赋真是绝配…人之一生，知行合一四个字做起来尤其艰难。白鹤也好，生于淤泥也罢，遵循内心而不苟全于世态，才算是有意义的一生吧
各有所长，互为师长。壮阔的景象，潮水的声音，鲜活的生命。落脚到，我可以怎么活。好电影。
