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)
温馨➕打怪电影
本来天海就不显老，现场灯光一打，有时候觉得她才30+，这电影跟她的年龄一样充满虚幻感……
前半段很像《小森林》动画版，遭遇自然灾害失去家人的孩子和善良老奶奶到海岬边古旧大宅平淡生活的故事，这样舒缓又带点忧伤的氛围让人想起许多相似的故事，比如《龙猫》、《狼的孩子雨和雪》。不过后续画风一转，什么河童朋友们登门吃黄瓜大餐，迷途屋喜欢在深山里招待迷路之人的童话，海兽靠吞噬人的希望之花壮大势力等等，一下子变成了《给桃子的信》、《河童之夏》质感的轻玄幻片。最终大决战虽然壮观，但吹笛、射箭都比较草率。很快Boss就被战胜了。故事内涵这样一个逻辑：不是怪兽带来了灾难，而是灾难在人们心中留下的悔恨与悲痛引来了怪兽。“迷路”本身也是个暗示，而“家”或屋子仿佛一个城市、一个国家的缩影。也许灾后（战后）重建是日本动画一个经典的叙事母题。但国产动画里却鲜有而不深刻。这是个值得研究的点。
直接表现震灾之后的状况和幸存下来的人们的集体创伤在动画少见，全东北地区甚至全国都来支援灾区也是很有感染力的主题，克制（白描）的演出在前半段很有代入感但后半就十分都合，当然从脚本开始就没有扣题发挥导致的剧情割裂也是重要原因
要是季番的体量可能会更好吧。奇妙物迷途之家，小音效的配合和作画，真的很治愈。
有些地方看哭了！灾难给人类心灵带来的破坏，需要自己鼓起勇气去面对！
生前葬礼部分给我了好大的启发！我的三十大寿要不也这么过吧，把好朋友们集合起来，当面真诚地致谢🤗

就是没想到被种草了生前葬！本来就是哦，葬礼为什么要死后，都看不到…
画风超舒服，又非常夏天！而且，人设和剧情都没有槽点，真的很喜欢很喜欢！最后和红祟战斗的时候我在想，日本神秘的传说是需要像奶奶一样传述下来的，这是他们土地的根，是彼此共鸣齐心齐力的线索
很温温柔柔的
抵御灾难努力生活需要每个人做自己力所能及的事
share house我有点不好接受 但那样的趴体我想要一个🎉
这个比喻用的还是蛮美的。地震给人们带来巨大的悲伤—这悲伤被比拟成一种怪物—使人们难以忍受而逃离故地
2.5 失望，完全是合家欢的路数，养老的问题不是吵吵闹闹欢欢笑笑就可以解决的啊，现实很残酷。
看电影里面的场景自己是很喜欢的，好有夏天的感觉呀；但是故事情节是自己没有想到的，又有了夏目友人帐那般与妖怪相处的友好；结局是美好的，那座在海边山上的房子真是让人羡慕啊。
没有多少刻画灾难本体，而将重点放在心理创伤上，以（留在）家园作为手段来治愈家人的伤痛，突出家乡在人们心中无可取替的位置。
蛮现实的，特别是前半段，没钱的感觉是真的窘迫…
什么嘛，一点都不现实。share house真的哒咩
什么都讲了，什么都没讲好。精怪和婆婆的关系设定倒是挺有趣，可惜没有用好。最后的大战跟玩儿一样……
