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)
中期选举大过天
其实片尾曲最后有彩蛋，地球上上最后一个人类居然是……如果你看过他们在楼顶搭景拍领导视察小区群众安居乐业、找演员在超市拍领导巡视物资充足、背假人上楼说是志愿者背老年人看病，这很写实
现实世界跟这个电影一样荒唐啦，不要大惊小怪。
挺讽刺的，我意外觉得挺好看的，虽然有点抑制所有cast的发挥
火力全开了，这个世界需要更多的讽刺喜剧！尤其是在这个年代。
讽刺得毫不掩饰，荒诞中带着悲凉。光看这么强大的卡司阵容已经值了，何况还白嫖了一场A妹的演唱会。最后末日前的狂欢如果再极致一点就好了。
全靠演员表演撑下来，和《永恒族》一样在架空的故事上讲述不符合事实的人类反应，只能说是小品电影。以及最后的结尾真的让人发出和小李子一样的疑问，裸体有任何必要吗？
评论那个写“别觉得这电影讽刺得多高明 看出来就多厉害多牛逼似的“ LoL 是不是平时没人让你说话啊？
当民主制度遭遇社交网络，在后媒体时代引发的反噬，是这个时代知识分子讽刺的主流思潮，不要总觉得西方为我们编织了一整套谎言（虽然是事实），实际上中毒最深的却是他们自己的劳工阶层。以及，American president is no longer the most powerful person on earth, for a looooong time.
拿世界末日开玩笑，绝望中透着浓浓的荒诞气息
张铁林演还珠里的乾隆腔：他sexy在哪儿啊？！

两个半小时卡斯片，讽刺的点还可以更高级，好笑又不好笑，深刻又不深刻。现实世界远比电影更麻木不仁
不是你们观测的时候能不能关灯啊？？？这不是常识吗我真的无语？虽然academia is a perfect place for introverts但我真的不相信全美那么多搞行星科学的居然没有一个能站出来把话说清楚的？这一行里真的不是所有人都是nerds，科普确实难但刻板印象更恶心，点开三次都没看下去，我放弃了
五星制作！Don't Look Up甚至不能简单的归类到喜剧科幻电影，在我看来它更像是一部社会实验电影，一部彻彻底底的科幻惊悚片，当我们站在上帝视角去审视这一切时，隔岸观火的看客才会觉得或搞笑，或荒诞，捧腹之余不免后怕，如果真如电影中所呈现的那样，人类的命运将如何？多半也不会是什么好结果，行星杀手在资本家和政客眼里变成了数不尽的美钞，沦为实现政治利益的工具，现实又会好到哪去？想到如此，不禁打了一个冷颤，这个世界，比电影荒诞！
讽刺喜剧离不开的典型后现代手法 媒介杂糅 人物扁平而被归属于某类单一性格 景别打乱至人与物划归到同一表现地位 类似定格的间离手法轮番上场 可惜在从完全抽离情感的真空设定到最后落笔小人物家庭的过渡显得僵化 说白了口嗨那么多最后又畏手畏脚地回归到主流价值观的输出上了
很疯，但是还挺有趣的，毕竟觉得在美剧《Veep》后不太常看到政治讽刺类的。以及，我真的以为大表姐好久没看到了以后，她又扮演了如此重要的角色然后演得挺好
麦凯的重组式讥讽过于直白却富有层次感，对现实世界的哈哈镜式乖张映照中始终透露着失望乃至些许无力的绝望，但在最后也留下了对人类能够进行深度自省的期许；话说这群星闪耀的卡司里，里朗斯表现力有点超神啊。
在疫情之前 真的以为本片就是戏谑夸张的剧本 但现在时刻发生在身边的荒唐都在提醒着 随着资本权利的游戏和迷失的人群 世界末日审判早就已经开始了 片子的剪辑很有趣 演员阵容很强大 在最后的爆炸中一切尘归尘土归土 才是一切的结局与归宿 可惜不是每个人都能看到故事的结尾
表面是讽刺喜剧，内核是现实悲剧。经历了全球疫情灾难，我们应该何去何从，政客、资本家、媒体人、学者粉墨登场、各展嘴脸，人们仍然不会思考，而是继续一场末日狂欢。还是那句话，好的喜剧内核是悲剧。
