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)
你男朋友把你哥杀了，你怎么还睡他！？？？文化冲击……
其实除了男主僵硬的演技以外（可能是导演觉得他的气质跟这部电影的调调比较搭），整部电影我还是蛮喜欢的，不管是场景调度还是摄影，配角们的塑造，还有那非常有质感的调色。希望斯皮尔伯格有生之年再多拍点电影。
再也不相信豆瓣评分了，真的很好看啊！！！
光影讲究，编舞精美，复古华丽，真的不比61版差，史匹堡的行活水平还是没丢的，最喜欢america那场戏。英王乔治和子弹姐姐客串，《汉密尔顿》粉丝狂喜。问题就是不论故事还是调度，对比隔壁《倒数时刻》实在过于过时了。
刚看前半小时就觉得“崩了”，结果只想给两星+给服装和舞蹈。不止完全没赶上1964年的经典版，还改的完全没特色，斯皮尔伯格导演能崩成这样也是没想到啊。
这种故事啥都不改放到银幕上太违和了，街头火箭队和鲨鱼队火拼真的像两群gay gansters在斗舞。‘罗密欧’上阳台的经典场景看着像徒手攀岩，配不上‘tonight’。
又是一部全程犯困但是好像没有错过什么情节的片子，罗密欧与朱丽叶在今天多少有点俗套，老斯也没挽救什么。说到歌舞，女一和Riff很出彩，Sondheim旋律还是挺典型的，但是似乎也没太出彩，尤其男一，全程尬歌尬舞，有点搞笑。(在upper west side看west side story)
顶级的美术和配乐加上糟糕的剧情，难以形容我看完之后的感想。生搬硬套罗密欧与朱丽叶却改得相当尴尬，整个黑帮斗殴全程冒傻气，甚至给我感觉他们打着打着就要去练舞室跳舞了。人物行为逻辑崩坏是整部电影走向失败的开始，女主舞会跳了支舞就要跟仇家男主私奔，第二天就要跟他结婚，亲哥被爱人手刃当晚就跟杀哥仇人上床，还跟嫂子吵架，就你的爱情最高贵，哥嫂的爱情就啥也不是对吗？导演用颜色区分两个帮派观感是很好，女主认识男主没几天就开始天天穿蓝色，新时代白眼狼，有了爱情就没家庭的典型恋爱脑，结果最后还没殉情。男主一脸见色起意和软弱无能干啥啥不行。但在音乐方面还是继承了百老汇的优秀品质，哥嫂街舞和tonight都很吸睛，lighting和布景部门超预期发挥，拍摄也很有水准，如果把脑子放空来看，这是部很好看的音乐mtv。
音乐剧，贫民窟的爱情与帮派仇杀。三等白人跟底层波多黎各人的仇恨故事超简单，就看个好莱坞歌舞编排。双方首领的死让悲剧走向相互毁灭失控之路。
预告就能看出缺失男主角cut部分的端倪 安塞尔的表演和肢体可能对于这个电影是有着灾难性的意义 我以为这还没完 最后半小时却亲自毁在了导演自己手上
虽然有些歌舞场景的调度摄影非常优秀，可男女主和剧情太拉了，不看不亏
但是，終於，老狗玩不出新把戲……沒想到是通篇照抄，卻也抄不到更好的成績，遑論歌曲唱功、場景調度、角色顏值、拍攝手法、表演才藝……居然都遜色原作好幾籌，心中根本激不起半點漣漪。
红色，是愤怒，是发泄。压抑后的痛哭，与我而言，好像不那么明显
我宣布这是我看过最没CP感的CP。它为什么不好看，谢飞导演说到点子上了：主演明星气质不够，观众的眼睛没办法被他们吸引。除去美国移民话题，于我而言，就是看了又一版罗朱。
很矛盾的观感，一边被华美歌舞所惊艳，一边又被俗套爱情所无语，多少有些华而不实，男女主表演又很有问题，一到他们俩的戏份就很煎熬。
“我满心仇恨”
场面调度都是大师级的，也几乎做到了突破舞台的限制，最大程度地展现出了歌舞片的魅力。可是总有些地方看起来很奇怪，无论是演技还是舞蹈，男主是完全比不过其他配角的，他的表演方式与整部片子的风格有违和感。虽然我没看过原版，但是这个故事放到当下这个时代来讲显然有些过时，再加上是一部歌舞片，免不了让剧情看起来很拖沓。除了视听艺术之外，哪儿哪儿都不到位，虽然被本届奥斯卡提名但我并不太看好。
欣赏不了歌舞片，看在斯皮尔伯格的份儿上给三颗星吧
Your love is your life
没那么难看，只是歌舞剧本身的上限摆在那儿，也很难再突破了。
