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)
既然有两部，不如拍成8集短剧，每集一小时。
物质生活富足被认为是不道德的，为了斗争需要，得忍。
故事和叙事工工整整，放现在看不算新颖，剧情也不够波折，三星吧。最后，致敬李白烈士，感谢千千万万个地下工作者的付出！
不知道为啥这么一部老电影，竟然和长津湖、狙击手等一起上了豆瓣的近期热门战争片榜。也没有字幕，所以台词听起来有些费劲。觉得好可惜，马上都要解放了，却被发现了。
易烊千玺饰演的万里的成长线真的很让人心疼，战争让一个少年迅速衰老三十岁…
一呼一吸都是红色的，黑白转彩色并不是完美的，细微之处显现端倪，不过从黑白转入彩色到彩色回到黑白的过场还是有点儿意思
经典的革命者形象，孙道临的演绎坚毅而温暖，红色电波，永不消逝。另一可称道者，是王心刚贡献了他唯一的反派角色，懦弱摇摆，惟妙惟肖。由此，导演王蓝的大胆尝试，独具慧眼，可见一斑。
王心刚演反派实在是……有点像乔宏演的爱情片
①无论是学校里的李白雕像，或者是我作为第一届李白团支部的成员，李白始终是作为抽象符号出现，电影也不能避免，反而是兰芬这个角色，真正完成了某种形象的塑造。②彩色修复仍有瑕疵，比如把黑白照片都修复成彩色了。不过结局牺牲的画面由彩色转为黑白，挺好的表达方式。（2021-12-29）
先码后评。向色彩修复的老师们致敬，没有谍战片的紧张度，侧重点点到了爱国主义之大义，可翻拍的点还蛮多的。
孙道临的眼睛真的像一汪清水!两幕眼神戏就能感受到一个共产党员的信仰!了不起啊了不起
影片拍摄的时候，还没有“谍战片”的概念与类型。但所谓“地下工作者”和“地下斗争”的故事情节，其实就是当今谍战的内容。孙道临与袁霞，完美地塑造了一对谍战情侣与特殊情境下的夫妻形象，既具有时代的典型性，又充满人情人性。人物形象的充实丰满，从而造就了影片能够具有相当的开创性价值。也成就了一部“红色经典”、“谍战经典”与“艺术经典”……
能在片中正义凌然地说出“因为我是中国人！”而不显得浮华，真的是很有魅力的时代影片。
孙道临老艺术家不论是几十年前还是现在，在大荧幕上，那张脸真的就是既亲和儒雅又玉树临风，到底是老艺术家，气质真绝。
什么叫帅，孙道临老师就叫帅。有多帅？王心刚都要演反派，你说多帅？
因为喜欢舞剧《永不消逝的电波》，趁着电影节来补上经典的电影原作。剧情很跌宕起伏，紧张节奏把握得极好。尤其是最后李侠成功发出讯息后牺牲的戏，扣人心弦又悲壮感动。
节奏很慢很慢，快一个小时了还在慢条斯理的进行家庭故事，可能真的是时代不同了，感受 不同了。
孙道临的李侠那是经典，小时候的最爱之一。那时候人物都是高大上的，没办法！
不知道为啥这么一部老电影，竟然和长津湖、狙击手等一起上了豆瓣的近期热门战争片榜。也没有字幕，所以台词听起来有些费劲。觉得好可惜，马上都要解放了，却被发现了。
好久没看红色老电影了，和父母一起看了这部电影，拍得很感人，真心相信那个年代确实存在着如此这般的革命激情，即使看不到革命胜利的那一天，也要为这一天的到来贡献出自己全部的力量。
