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)
构思出彩！故事很可爱，很鼓舞人心。母爱窒息感表达出来了，但未免太含蓄、太柔光了一点。不喜欢片中几乎所有的中国元素，粗糙浮夸市井气😅
不会再为了肉欲而失控，只会为了灵犀而泪涌
通往幸福的路不是一张都能打钩的清单，成为母亲不能阻止骑马穿过沙漠。我是被无聊忽视的母亲，你是被偏见憎恶的弃子。肌肉是让你得到选择的伪装，喷嚏是让他得到自信的迎合。希腊花园里的抚摸是此生最大的出格，说穿短裙的少女是荡妇并非真正的保护。直视镜中自己的身体，衰老不必焦虑，性爱并不可耻。
工整，轻巧，饱满。每个章节都在意料之中，而两位角色彼此诚实的互动与探索让其完成度就地升华。前两次约会探讨身体羞耻与姓羞耻，而后两次则单刀直入，直面羞耻背后“他人即地狱”的人际状况：人在单向自我呈现时，善于伪装各种友善的价值判断，但实际上却不满足于以自己为出发点的建构，而是渴望通过他人看到自己，让他人的judgement粉碎自己的幻梦。这种自我攻击、自我物化的“死欲”，在专业亲密服务的提供者与消费者的关系上十分值得充分地探讨。影片基调仍然是积极的：通过真诚的沟通，“地狱”是有出口的，困难是可以克服的。首映会结尾Emma还给全场观众布置了“作业”：去找点乐子！Find a mirror and look at yourself without judgement. 72.Berlinale
现在已经不大喜欢这种借一个情欲故事来探讨亲子关系或者别的什么所谓精巧的剧本，除了有些撩人的情欲之外，其实没多大意思，因为这些探讨充满刻意的“假”，这是不真实的，并不存在这种探讨和后来的醒悟，不过是种文艺的幻想
第3000部观影打卡。
他只负责输送技巧性的、职业性的驾轻就熟，但她无法接受以“消费者”身份进入一组性关系，或者说，她终究无法接受一组亲密关系仅仅是以性为基准的，她在自欺欺人地试着建立一些别的维度。
講Asian story的方式已大大進步了 不過感性上來說我是不能想象一個典型東雅家庭存在這麼美式溫情的和解的。
女性的情绪化=红熊猫？接受它，它是你的一部分。
So white so cliche woke feminist shit 太白了，太虚伪不踏实了 sex is not divine! sex is just fucking sex
我抑郁症发作的时候，也希望可以变成这种人见人爱、好友抱抱的小熊猫啊！
套壳中国文化的好莱坞亲情电影，可惜略懂皮毛...
小熊猫蛮可爱，福瑞控竟是我自己。用红熊猫形容女孩初潮还蛮简单易懂的。时长很短，观看体验流畅，很套路但不无聊。妈妈的形象非常像刘敏涛。
很可爱 毛茸茸的女孩子
妈妈的全部……不敢苟同
红熊猫好可爱啊！最后大家都变成红熊猫真的看哭了，好羡慕这样的友情和后来的家庭qwq
皮克斯这几年多数有个问题，很浅，巴不得把立意怼到大家面前，初潮啊，青春叛逆啊，文化差异啊，这部结尾高潮有点乱了电影本身的气质，但是用流行嘻哈和家族鸣唱做对比，实则也把电影要说的内容细化了，反而加分了。怎么说呢，退步的皮克斯，依旧是好莱坞退步的动画产业老大！
偏低龄的那一挂，不是我取向，但给小朋友看真好，世界上不是只有王子公主和鲜明善恶，也没有那么多的奇遇。多希望我小时候也有人能安慰我，不需要活在别人的期待中，不必为青春期的变化感到羞涩，不必总是站在父母的鞋子里为他们的不和而抱歉... 那样的话，turning adult会容易很多。
“你走得越远，我越是骄傲。”多希望我妈能明白这一点
Stereotypes 太多了，吴珊卓加一星
