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)

Spielberg经典重现 “你们不要再打啦”
毫无诚意的翻拍，编舞平庸、对白无趣又冗长，2021版《西区故事》更像是二流戏剧而非电影。
在看到没有受伤的玛利亚并一再确认其安危 完全不顾自己是否中了枪的托尼 满眼都是玛利亚 鸡皮疙瘩起一身 这是什么爱情 生死置之度外 帮派民族之战的悲剧 徒留玛利亚和阿妮塔伤心欲绝
ps：相对于大苏维埃区，民主德国已经够relexation了，even now in where
百老汇版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，这竟然出自斯皮尔伯格之手我下巴都掉掉。男女主又拉胯又不讨喜……好在配角拉上去了一点。
分全给cinematography，以及女配男配。男女主真的不行，文戏硬演，唱段的画面和声音都是硬生生的割裂感。也难怪拿America片段做宣传，DeBose和Alvarez老道太多。而有Faist的画面Ansel再高也没存在感。我看的最后一场musical theater就是澳巡的西区故事，我宁愿再看一遍那个。这电影烂番茄新鲜度95，搞笑来的？
这次终于强撑着逃脱了我看《西区故事》必睡着的套路。我对《罗朱》有多爱，对《西区故事》就有多不耐烦。希望各位大导们放弃对自己童年梦想的孜孜追求，多看看当下。就算是Tony Kushner出山改编剧本也抵挡不住这陈旧的故事。还有强行翻排舞台剧，景越真戏就越假。舞台上吸引眼球的歌舞，放到实景里就是满满的中二感。女主的确人美声甜，看什么都是深情满满爱意流露……然而她这表情从始至终未变就导致最后很崩塌。男主又傻又愣，的确不像会唱出Today the world was just an address的样子。都2021了，谁还爱看白男爱上minority女孩的故事。America好像比上版电影多用了些舞台剧版台词，强化了移民男女对生活追求的分歧，保留了点点美国梦的尊严。让人觉得时代变了但也没太变。
翻拍的意义何在？给斯皮尔伯格的调度加一⭐。
其实评分这么低的原因很好理解，因为这不像电影，更像是一部舞台剧，所以很挑受众。
从黑塞能把感性与理性分做两个人来写故事，就知道德国人这一生的追问都在二者之间
我听不出来安塞尔唱的好坏，当年悲惨世界都说罗素唱得差，我也听不出来，只听出来阿曼达气喘🌚
Spielberg and his endless budget only make the film visually appealing, but the old chemistry is missing. One of the drawbacks is the altered storyline does not make sense; the second half entirely lacks focus. Not even mentioning the overloaded autotune. It’s good that they cast real Hispanic actors. Rita Monroe is still killing it!! (She is absolutely terrific, but her role in the remake is a stretch. )
调度和美术真的是超一流，群戏的俯拍太到位了，伯恩斯坦的音乐也不消多提。就是男主怎么看怎么像trust fund kid，演贫民黑帮混混一点说服力都没有….女二Anita全片最佳，开头拉丁热舞绝赞，拜倒在姐姐的裙摆下！跟原版相似度大概有7.5成吧，唯一惊喜的改动是在Isabella Stewart Gardner博物馆里演了私定终身戏，彩色玻璃窗折射的光线打在脸上非常好看。
没有看明白这个故事到底是要制造分裂还是谴责对立
在既没有足够多共同经历又沾染血仇的情况下，男女主坚持要相依在一起的感情的的确确难让人理解与被打动。甚至这部影片大部分的活力都来自于男女主缺席的场景桥段。即使对歌舞电影不感冒的人，多少都能从中看到电影这一媒介的魅力与魔力，不得不承认斯皮尔伯格的技艺实在是娴熟到令人嫉妒与折服。但只是用在这么一个故事身上，多少有些可惜与不必要。
3.5吧。这不就是个罗朱复排么？一切荣耀归于莎士比亚。镜头方面是真老到，不亏老斯，然并卵…… 男主真的不行啊，女主还能算天然质朴，男主？？？女二是Ham OBC的dancer姐姐吧，棒！另外茂丘西奥·里夫也挺不错的～ 其他就……【以及旋律上完全无感，原来这部只是桑词不是桑曲，怪不得
两个一见钟情、至死不渝的恋人，两个血海深仇、不共戴天的种族（帮派），这种罗密欧与朱丽叶式的爱情悲剧也算是某种原型故事了吧，只是不太能看出翻拍的价值或是焕发出了多少新的神采。论调度当然是能超出这个颁奖季的《倒数时刻》一大截，夜戏的光晕炫目，情绪上的压迫也能到位，但对议题的展示怕还是太隔靴搔痒了一点。另外赞同谢飞导演说的，男女主角没有明星气质，很难经得起特写审视，于是观众不大能做到与之共情。
斯皮尔伯格圆了自己的歌舞片梦想，却只是忠实的致敬了劳伦斯和伯恩斯坦。所有的歌舞片都不该被生硬的搬上大银幕，包括1961版的《西区故事》。
歌舞片歌舞片，斯皮尔伯格这版如此突出场面调度的结果，就是歌舞意外成为一种附庸，由此也就削弱了电影最直接的情绪感染力，也拖垮了整体节奏，之前老版中合理的情节，也在这样的实景歌舞之下变得没那么合理了。不过总体来讲，斯皮尔伯格驾驭歌舞的能力还是比卡拉克斯强一点。
