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)
看得云里雾里，政治议题和整个故事并没有形成很好的结合，就感觉导演很想煮一锅香喷喷的饭，但是一个半小时后打开一看发现水还是水，米还是米。
节奏很好，不少亮点。导演并未想去做一部恐怖片，而是想表现：曾经的都市传说再一次发生在当下，有些东西会改变么?女主很美，标准的黑人美女，而黑蝠鲼可谓是男人的健身榜样了。这部镜头里的Chicago令人神往。
政治正确的种族问题电影，恐怖片只不过是个噱头。
连糖果人的诞生背景都不知道（甚至电影都表现得这么明白了），还在这因为所谓的政治正确打低分的人就活该被歧视
快召唤Bloody Mary😈 打一架！打一架！！
并没有那么不堪。整体调度可以，在工整流水甚至有些平庸的叙事中又做得到一定的阴郁，剪纸皮影铺垫诡异氛围。乔丹·皮尔之后的种族政治性惊悚风潮在有色群体中升起。但一些黄种人没必要在其他有色群体讲述自己群体的故事时大放厥词，说其只会“政治正确”。当你们看到自己群体拍出来的所谓“政治正确”时估计要泪流满面义愤填膺吧。
candyman
很喜欢结局 糖果人绕车的那段自述，车上的倒影配合台词，很好👌🏻
这哪是隐喻，完全是把种族问题赤裸裸的摆到桌面上，抛开政治不谈作为恐怖片是蛮失败的~5.0
不是我瞧不起GC电影，到底是“不想一個人”，还是“leave me alone” ？小学毕业的我看的云里雾里，就连电影名都搞不清还想拍电影？什么阿猫阿狗都能拍？
精致的室内装饰但没好好地利用这些空间优势，整体给我的感觉就是有足够的资金，但导演水平有限。
candy shit…包装着像糖的屎。恐怖片可以不重点逻辑，但也不能全无逻辑好吗！铺垫又臭又长又无聊，过程从镜中杀人魔变成黑人贫民的复仇，又迎来男主变身candyman，最后那一刻飞起来感觉可以加入漫威反派阵营了。有点转折逻辑好吗？！
布景很精致，他们的公寓都好漂亮。BLM主题，故事平淡，完全没有惊吓点，作为恐怖片不合格。工作日白天去看几乎包场。
新版Candy Man在Jordan Peele的操刀下也成了critical race theory 影响下creative exploration.以种族议题为作品内核的现代艺术家一步步走向urban legends的深渊。虽然把诸如白人至上，police brutality等问题进一步简单化脸谱化，但只杀White people的candy men在电影最后竟然有种大快人心的正义感。与其说是恐怖片，更像是带有奇幻元素的剧情片，毕竟这片的血浆程度还不如malignant
借着恐怖片的噱头故意把政治正确加诸给观众，导演功力也不行 浪费了一个很好的题材
辣鸡bml电影 某种族还要再喊自己命贵吗 已经很贵了贵到电影伟光正形象只剩你们了 建议速速加入高贵黑金全家桶套餐 恐怖片没那个水准你就要么好好洒血浆要么好好搞jumpscary 没那个水准还想搞zz隐喻 更何况是都要把人恶心吐了的“x人受迫害后崛起” 只能发烂发臭 还say your name 你名字压根不是candyman 不如直接给candyman做个写着bml的文化衫就行了 不用穿大衣了哈
哈？哈？哈？！基本的故事都讲不好，还搞这么多“明”喻。可惜了好看的女主和不错的配乐。
我的观影心态可能也正像看着那幅画欲言又止的他老婆。
影片充斥着矛盾的概念和表达，candyman如果说是少数族裔仇恨和不公的复仇化身，男主的身份和变身的过程就隐含着一种刻意和恶毒，为了恐怖效果而本末倒置，非常可惜。
剪纸与一副皮影戏的艺术感，是很棒的。至于故事，为什么要重启呢？没太大意义，娱乐娱乐得了！
