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)
非常感动！但是吐槽基金经理那里我忍不住看了看我的基金收益。
我大概就是22本2了。但即便我能够看到很多生活的火花，依然觉得活着没什么意思。披萨的香味，落下的种子，我体验过了，又怎样呢？没有要追求的目标和意义，一切最终还是那么乏味。所以，完全无法被打动。
成功不是生命的那一口甘甜，缺了角的披萨也能治愈饥饿的时光，你不必大有所长、你不必光芒万丈。
所以22熬了几千年最后投胎到......青海了？！O.o
用这部电影来给2020年收个尾着实恰当。过度执着于某一个目标，却也容易在过程中忽视日常的细微的美好。虽然剧情一下子就都被猜中了，但仍不失为走心的心灵鸡汤。没猜中的是，我以为主角（们）将找到的是成为导师/教师的幸福因而决定从教，而这恰恰是我自己的“目标”所形成的“盲区”，当然也更是我自己的体悟。
大概是我太压抑了，试图在电影里躲一百分钟，但是失败了
皮克斯的动画，依旧温暖人心。我们要找的不是目标，不是意义，只是热爱。不过整体完成度和画面比寻梦环游记差了点，后半段基本猜得到剧情，没有惊喜。
真正适合年底看的治愈之作，皮克斯太会了，心甘情愿服下这碗暖汤！Jazz lover也心满意足了；Spark is your connection with life, to live full of appreciation, love the present to every minute of your way. <3
Did you find your spark?my baby 👶 spark不是与生俱来的天赋，是你准备好享受这世间的蓝天、清风和落叶
社恐看了直流泪，丧逼看了会沉默，Your life is meaningless
多给点排片吧，那么好的片子。101分钟逃离现实的治愈，抚慰了2020充满绝望的一年。梦想不一定是人生目标，活在当下才是。愿大家2021，好好过。
看完后的一股淡淡的感觉，并没有治愈，更不会燃。很难得的一次，Pixar这次的主题非常返璞归真，也注定这部动画不会被“大众”所喜爱，因为相对乏味。而它所要戳穿的也是对理想对目标实现那一刻后的那一个乏味。假如人生只为了一个又一个的追求（欲望驱动），那么每当实现一个之后，就是无尽的空虚，就如JOE千辛万苦复活后参与的那一晚演出一样。之后会怎样？之后就是日复一日的今晚，瞬间索然无味。所以人生是不是真的要去谈追求谈理想才叫有意义？这就是这部片抛出的主题，也同时像一个智者一样，对迷惑的你缓缓道来：人生，就是一场体验，体验本身，就很有趣了。
这部电影着重于两个主角的内心成长，其他人物都是工具人(o_ _)ﾉ
存在主义心理治疗。往前游，就是海。是呀，枫树的小翅膀真的很可爱。
非音乐性地指向音乐性。于我于世都太妙啦。和《头脑特工队》《寻梦环游记》是同一部电影。其实都是杰瑞。
我简直要怀疑是我爸拍给我看的教育片——女儿：人最终是要生活的
看到半半道，突然感悟了人生的意义：结果不是最重要的，尽情感受人生过程才最重要！考研何尝不是这样，特别是今年……我可能是太享受做题挑战的过程了，结果，明年还要继续🤭🥺😢😭
我简直要怀疑是我爸拍给我看的教育片——女儿：人最终是要生活的
抛去晦涩和说教，生命无论传奇和平庸都是平凡之路，认真感受，去热爱，感恩，日日是好日，希望你活着的每一天都能快乐。找到自己的热爱。
是不是讲纽约的电影都要来迫害一下尼克斯？
