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)
官媒讲政治正确讲过头了，养蛊了吧，这么好的电影都被黑造型……
粤语版极佳。狮头虽然挂在擎天柱上，但现实却还是让你跌入水中。哎，底色还是小人物的困苦，无奈和悲哀。
可能是口碑过好期待太高，看完觉得就挺套路的一个励志片，好多台词都太中二太尬了，而且从设定上来讲，舞狮这种需要台下几年十几年的练功，让他们一组几个月速成，多多少少是对武术人的不尊重了。
瞎编吧？太扯了！但它是真实事件改编。
在歧视正大光明的地方，不会有尊重和平等。法律都覆盖不到，更别谈道德和文明。片尾说顶罪的事情到现在还在发生，人类进步的脚步好慢啊
一定大卖，这种电影如果还不卖就没天理了。。。
种姓歧视，以权谋私，知法犯法。电影的意义大于电影本身，正义值得歌颂。万岁钱德鲁！万岁比姆！
好片 因为偏见 甚至根本没有看过这部片打低分的人真的是 无视本质看现象啊
目前心中最棒的国漫。虽然在看之前就能想到大致剧情发展，但是电影一开始我还是被画面色彩构图以及男主的发型深深吸引了，运镜也好棒，在天台那一段真的被戳到…结局的留白也很喜欢。爆夸插曲和片尾曲，打算二刷。ps：眼睁睁看着前排大哥电影看一半就拿起手机豆瓣打了一星！（因为他手机屏幕实在太亮，仿佛手电筒举在了我面前😭）心碎呐喊：我刀呢？
国漫要都是这个水准，豆瓣Top250的动画电影里就不会只有日本和美国立足。
印度版辩护人，四星给题材。如很多影评所言，就电影题材而言，印度早就甩我们几条街了，有教育制度，种姓制度，反抗体制权威，反抗宗教等等。
我们还有空在豆瓣叨叨在健身房锻炼的，其实都是广州阿娟，农民工不需要健身。导演清醒知道，舞狮不能改变命运，少年和大叔都只能振奋自我的心智，知识也只是带来改变的希望，九连真人，正是上大学以后的乡下阿娟。
我难过自己其实也根本不够格，可是面对这种烂剧情还是很难过很痛苦，真是double难过了
speechless... but there is hope and justice. ironically though, in blackwater, it takes years in a modern western world. and then there is also
我欠《雄狮少年》一张电影票啊啊啊啊啊
五味杂陈。警察对低种姓的冷血残暴、骨子里的颟顸愚笨使人愤怒。达利特人逆来顺受、在折磨屈辱面前只能嚎哭求饶的千年基因让人难过。高种姓雅利安精英用英式法权维护英式民主法治的价值观总让人感觉虚伪。更有说服力的是男主墙上、桌上挂着的马列头像——被压迫的人，团结起来！
3星全给画面，纹理真的做得太好了，狮头的须，飘动，逼真度自然度满分！还有舞狮时候的步伐都非常好看！但剧情是什么鬼？一个前度冠军无端端去一个乡下，送一个那么贵的狮头给一个陌生人？几个门外汉在一个已经荒废十几年的教练手下练了几个月就能夺冠？合理性已经全毁了，就靠打鸡血推进剧情！最无言是最后那一幕，硬就是要宣扬这种精神胜利~明知不行还要冲是燃，但把狮头挂上去那种虚荣太恶心！这个时代怎么还追求这种阿Q精神？还一堆人觉得激动。。。。。
黑暗、腐败、残暴、压迫一直存在，难得的是有没有人把这些挖掘出来，去颠覆这些向来如此的不公，重新带给人们光明和希望。我由衷地敬佩那些冲破层层阻挠发掘真相，为底层人民讨回公道的正义斗士，也同样敬佩那些拒绝凶手的糖衣炮弹，拒绝背负污名，不畏强权，只为得到真相的底层群众，他们是多有坚定的决心、坚强的意志，才能够战胜黑暗，赢得胜利的。
电影里的整个警察系统都烂在根里里，黑漆漆的，官官相护，从高层到警察的一线人员都已经没有心了，只能说印度真敢拍啊。
（三星半）它的现实意义比电影本身重要得多，在解决问题之前最重要的是正视问题本身。
