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)
我不懂，有些人是对浪漫过敏吗？这还不好看？！
不太好笑，反而很煽情。
The biggest villian is—Michael Scarn!
在三星和四星之间徘徊，其制作水平显然比“还行”好很多，但减分项也确实是不少。不喜欢黄才伦和常远的表演，不喜欢袋鼠的设定，有不少片段和镜头设计显得有点愚蠢和俗气，沈腾和马丽的形象显得年龄过大，实际上很难有擦出火花的感觉，比《我和我的家乡》里差很多，但这两个角色要是换了别的演员更不行。特效和音乐真不错。
音乐特效画面都一流。故事弱，英雄主义没有流浪地球有说服力和感染力。导演能力一般，独角戏和群像戏拍的都挺干瘪的。煽情过多，节奏也差。包袱和梗没啥意思。沈腾演技没的说，就是胖的有点油了，显得舔狗舔的有点猥琐了，马丽演技单一，hold不住冷面心热的女上司。群像里除了致敬流浪地球的兄妹，一个有台词的女角色都没有。呵呵。让我真心发笑的点只有给袋鼠配音那一处，剩下都不是真的好笑。
非常有意思，我居然还正儿八经思考了一下“如果小行星撞击地球，到底是帅的会先死还是丑的会先死”这个“高深”的问题哈哈哈哈
不太好笑，反而很煽情。
PS.虽然是喜剧，但较之前段，我更喜欢后半部分的“回家”（前段我也笑的蛮开心的）。表扬一下金曲的使用，尤其是Country road的改编和酷玩A head full of dream。
挺喜欢袋鼠拉车的那一段，有一种科幻作品独有的浪漫。至于其他的，科学理论谈不上严谨，煽情也缺少人文关怀，喜剧桥段完全是沈腾个人魅力的展现。
尬笑加硬煽情，全程配乐轰炸没断过，核心还是上世纪追女仔的陈旧思维方式，人物失真，模仿痕迹重，情绪输出为零…（反思是不是这十年人们的日子越过越苦闷，小品电影才成了最有市场的一种，很悲哀啊
“含腾量”这一说法也该到此为止了，用腾把两个钟头塞得满满当当也没法掩饰全片的尴尬。ps：把二十年前某部日本特摄片大结局的关键剧情用来当煽情片段也是够离谱哈
“你不是人”这是感觉唯一好笑的地方，商业化太浓厚，有点《楚门的世界》，最后非得来个拯救地球大主题，沈腾没人搭戏好尴尬，马丽全程冷着脸。
一个人吃200人的口粮，让人想起了《火星救援》中的生存；
看哭了好多次，终究是给不想长大的成年人看的啊。中国元素也太棒了，永远喜欢格鲁和minions！
科幻质感与视听语言都挺不错，开心麻花在视觉上进步飞速。很多笑料不仅仅依赖于台词与肢体，通过镜头语言完成。自我营救的主干部分做得也挺完整。不过，这个剧本囿于商业喜剧大片的调性，没能开发出更多可供回味的空间。将一个受难之人塑造成宇宙英雄，这个立意背后有着对人类生存力的莫大反讽。影片对此没有深挖。将末日人类塑造成“丑角”，贡献着没有痛感与残酷感的笑料；而独孤月得知真相后，也只提供了一段拉长的、意味深长的笑容。所以，独孤月只怕还是成了另一个二舅。国产科幻这么拍下去，宁浩的《疯狂的外星人》的地位会越来越高。PS：片尾字幕特别鸣谢了高申、刘露，所以没在剧作上帮上啥忙？
笑中带泪，跌宕起伏，暑期值得看的一部片子了
“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息”，现在听到这句话就想笑哈哈哈，以前咋就没觉得有这么魔性。。。
开篇就有惊喜，中文歌曲听得我一愣一愣。搞笑担当还是那几位。Gru真的是个好小孩。
抱着电影院那么艰难应该有啥看啥的心态去的，三十分钟后觉得电影院还是关门算了。
宇宙太大了，人类太孤独了，但神奇的是沈腾居然消解了这份孤独。
