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)
Lily自己演技就挺拉的了，大可不必提携男朋友演这种自作聪明冗长无趣的电影凸显她捉急的挑选剧本能力。。。。
又刷了一遍，还是好。结尾收的太急，里面的背景和人物设定可以借鉴，很有趣的故事，中国有完整的一脉神怪传统，现在断了。
3/20 metrograph有幸见到了lily和导演本人。剧情像是没拍完，配乐不错，感觉经费都用在请演员和音乐上了。
一本从头到尾四个人的电影，到后来劫匪的一句话提醒了女主，过段了结了丈夫，再嫁祸给劫匪，其实半个小时就足够了。
蛋生的师傅 殉道者的形象 小时候第一次感到了悲剧的力量
童年回忆重温，再次被简单故事里饱含的情感震到流泪。袁公白衣红髯、身被铁链束缚直飞上界的画面，有巨大的悲剧美。蛋生高叫师父又与悟空哪吒合一，永恒的中国孤儿。剧本的喜剧色彩与人物设计有大量传统戏曲的元素，剧情则是把整个中国社会从上到下的结构讽刺个遍，除了朴素的劳动人民，处处是无尽的贪腐与压榨。直上天庭，天庭又如何。袁公真英雄，八十年代启蒙色彩的普罗米修斯。
我想的是看到马克思的形象，袁公的脸是很适合的一个缩写，马克思的《资本论》就是工人阶级的救世天书，触犯统治阶级颜面的他只能落下个悲痛的离去下场，而早已看穿一切的马克思微笑夹杂讽刺地面对，上层建筑早已需要修改完善，天书方法却被压制不让生产，生产力和生产关系的冲突就在此刻！
儿时记忆了 蛋生吃饼那一幕还记忆犹新 小时候真的看了很多优秀的中日动画 那时候电视上还放变形金刚和忍者神龟呢 现在小孩真的看的啥 都是降智动画还毫无美感
中国动画史上不错的作品了,三只狐狸精比主角还抢戏~
普罗米修斯·袁公盗书；
蛋生的师傅好帅啊~~~~~~~~
简单的场景和人物，像是舞台剧吧，个人觉得拍成30分钟左右的小电影更好。
女儿说，这是她近期看过的所有动画里的第一名。
这片真便宜，租一个度假村，一共出现4个人。奶飞花8位数的交易费，至少1千万买这个？人傻钱多的典型吧。
这样伪科学、反廉政、毁三观的动画真的适合孩子看吗？
袁公回到天上，徒留蛋生在凡间何去何从？“蛋生，你以后要好自为之！”
以前的老中国动画非常具有中国古典的韵味，这种风格在90年代的时候已经渐渐消失了，现在的国产动画不是学日本就是学好莱坞。而且本片的人物形象鲜明，审美也还不错，可惜过于低幼化了。袁公就是中国版的普罗米修斯啊~
四个人四种阶层，其中无疑女性角色战斗力上最弱，最后却完成了反杀，这种高潮本身没有问题。
能感受到制作非常用心，因为年代比较远，以为不会有什么共鸣，没想到最后结尾部分破防，让我想到自己的师傅。
真的很不明白，特别是在封建社会，为什么人过得那么苦难那么屈辱，妖精还要想办法修炼成人？？？
