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)
应该是唐顿的大结局了——Stop the noise, I can't hear myself die. 想起第一季的时候我在安村到处安利的时光……刚好最近又看到阿城说起中国文化的断代，更加唏嘘……总之，我同意厨子的说法，盎格鲁萨克逊文明是人类文明的标杆。
我永远爱唐顿！意料之中的伤感结局，老夫人的离去真真正正地标志了一个时代以及唐顿这个系列（hope not）的落幕，但唐顿仍是英国乃至全世界最出色的时代影视ip之一
回家。回家。总有一部电影告诉我们，离去与新生的感动不需要诗兴与哲学；它们只需要长久的陪伴和一个好故事。
唐家屯承载了太多，老夫人安详的离世应该画上一个圆满的句号。
要说人生赢家还得是人家老夫人 一辈子啥啥都见过了 真好 Mary这过得是丧偶的日子啊 马修古迪这次干脆连面儿都不露了 我强烈支持Mary休了他再找！缅怀大表哥那段儿真的是爱情最好的模样了
太精彩了！南法真的美呆了。如果这是 最终集，大部分粉丝都会满意。希望中国上映时能取得好成绩。
一场热闹散去之后，总会迎来新的开始，有人坚守有人离去，各自的生活总还是要继续的。那些曾经的露水情缘，过去了也就是过去了，如今这样也是一个很好的结局，我们都不用为此有所遗憾。岁月催人老，我们的黄金时代早已过去，属于年轻人的时代才刚刚开始，他们也会如我们当初一样，有一个光明灿烂的未来。面对彼此新的人生征程，互道珍重，江湖再见。
In times like this, we all need Downton Abbey.
75/100 Downton一晃十二年，那些熟悉的音容再次浮现，忽觉往事如烟。从Titanic的远航，到如今Sound Film的到来，时代似乎一直推着这座古老的宏伟宅邸缓步前行。 Although the Victorian era came to an end, everybody had his or her own new start.
The end of a fairy tale.
唐顿庄园 always my fave!!! 每一个人物都好爱！好喜欢Lady Mary！能不能再拍一部球球了！🥰
唐顿庄园见证了无声电影向有声电影的转变，并做出贡献
演员们肉眼可见的老了。欧美人真的老得快。
最近很多长篇IP都走到了时代变迁，新旧交替的节点，与这些IP相伴长大的自己也渐近而立之年。再加上整个社会的激烈转向，遂越来越容易超越剧集本身感受到与现实的强烈共鸣。无谓好坏，但是不可避免啊——无论个体是否赞同与接受，人力都阻止不了历史的车轮向前滚动。
电影开始于婚礼，结束于葬礼以及新生命的到来。Goodbye，Lady Grantham.
31/05/2022 #ACSB# A new era for sure, but there are things that will be passed on for generations and won't ever change. If you can't sell that to the Great British public than what can you sell.. And Violet had most of the punch lines.
但渐渐地，才发现他们的人生，都是被一段段爱情所串起来，甚至被拯救。
笑着笑着就开始流泪了。（还有机会看到老爷和太太年轻时候的爱情故事么？
我没看完，想起以前追剧的日子。忽然有点意兴阑珊。过去的就过去吧。岁月在他们身上刻画的痕迹如此的明显，唐家邨也有些老旧了。哎。一声叹息。
看这部电影，不是因为是唐顿的粉丝，而是怀念疫情前的那段岁月，如同金黄色的阳光洒向铺满落叶的道路，静谧而美好
