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)

其实我小时候没看过，所以对情节就没什么情结。奇趣美可真不容易！母狐蹦迪那段可太劲了！小皇帝的锥形设定也很奇趣。好色之徒的刻画惊人直接。按京剧脸谱代入角色真是太棒了。没想到始作俑者是BBC？@梅龙镇
县太爷：老鼠，孝心一片取功名，贪心一片偷鱼米。
欣赏电影对权贵的嘲弄。引用毛老师的一句话，“左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，然后一百年之后，我们的影视剧把心机和穷人，又把天真和富人进行了链接。”
这部跟我同龄的动画片，童年时总是看不全，甚至都记不得名字，最近下了个高清才诧然发现，原来有一个半小时那么长！甚至连具体的情节都不怎么记得了。国产动画原本应该就是这个高度才对，故事性强，风格古朴，教导有方。现在的那些，什么啊都是。
女儿说，这是她近期看过的所有动画里的第一名。
审美和隐喻一流，故事线有点无聊，结果我在半场后睡着了……对不起
形象确实很经典，但是大概只有我一个人觉得人设略诡异，配音略雷人吧…苍白的面颊，漆黑的瞳孔，僵尸一样的府尹大人和俩莫名其妙的和尚，以及蛋生一发笑我就起鸡皮疙瘩的感觉，实在不是特别美妙…虽然是好动画，但是我依然觉得囧…
这部我小时候没看过诶！补了之后感觉很喜欢！
【8.0】#siff2019#留在记忆里就好了，这次重温的观感其实并不好，虽然我真的超爱上美了。但是，这次重看感觉叙事方面不太好，片子整体在上美的作品里也算是比较低龄的了，偏重于嘻笑打闹吧。所以留在回忆里就好～
保留传统绘画的同时，开始了娱乐化探索。妙趣横生的盗火者故事，对抗世间不公不义的火种。
最为一个动画片 罕见的几乎没有展现任何 人性 之美。看后面剧本是和BBC合作是受到bbc赞赏的 了然了 哎
谈不上惊艳，但看着还行，5.4的分有点委屈了
绝佳！童年最爱的一部动画，蛋生还有那个老狐狸印象都深刻。
反派的人设惊人地时髦，相当辛辣的讽刺喜剧。
《天书奇谭》当然是一部很不错的动画片，比《哪吒之魔童降世》要强很多，但似乎被捧得太高了。这里的一个重要原因，是袁公的形象，符合八十年代知识分子的自我想象，孤傲，怀才不遇，只有自己才能救苍生……当然，现在我们都知道了，实际情况和知识分子的自我想象相去甚远，也许犬儒才是知识分子的主要特征。
20分鐘的剧情，硬生生用长镜头空镜头填充出92分钟；
在那个物质最匮乏的年代里，这些最可敬、可爱、才华横溢的动画艺术家们创作出了最杰出的文艺作品。也许当时的人们身体是空虚的，但他们的精神却绝不像今天我们这一代人一般饥饿。
1三只可爱的狐狸精。
蛋生的师傅好帅啊~~~~~~~~
