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)
然后被想念或者遗忘
虽然通篇看上去心情很压抑，但看到男主死前交待完所有未尽事宜，死能瞑目也算是完美的人生结局。
看了简介才去看的，设定很新颖，但拍得却很俗气。正确的拍法应该是让观众跟随克隆人的视角，最起码要以克隆人为主角，讲述本体死后，克隆人替代本体生活的故事，而不是让观众看本体临死前的各种麻烦事儿，搞的像部家庭肥皂剧，白白浪费了观众宝贵的周六晚间时光。
小丑女好棒！！！主题不错，老鼠才是城市的主人，反对政府的控制，反对墙的控制，反对各种控制。DC加油，鲨鲨比心。
不是节奏慢就细腻，不是有一两个好点子就不空洞，比如此片，跟白水一样
怪胎大集合，找不到任何一個正常的物種，不要想太多，就當做看了一場漫威的腦殘漫畫，加大量的優質特效就好。
好喜欢，平静的接受了命运的不公与自己将会失去曾经拥有过的一切。其实不是科技让人变得更好，而是人性中善良的那部分吧。
我该安心 还是嫉妒呢
鲨鱼人纳纳威确实可爱啊🤤
星味少了些，好在有滚导音乐和趣味的加持，印象最深的肯定是鲨鱼萌萌
无论是站在原本的我
濒死之人，找机构克隆了一个自己，和妻儿继续生活。//科技发达到可以连记忆都复制的地步，依然连肿瘤也没法对付，有点迷惑——不过，转念一想，如今人类已经可以计划去火星了，但也没法彻底搞定COVID-19，也就没那么迷惑了。//在科技日益发展之时，道德，伦理的困境，肯定是越来越需要面对的，毋庸置疑，如果没有道德，伦理羁绊，人类跟其他生物也就没什么区别了。
很久没看到让我哭成这样的电影了。真的很痛很痛。生离死别，原来是要拆开看的啊，生离比死别可能还要痛。
多半是因为我的经历和记忆
和新的我的立场上
抛开伦理道德，爱绵长永存。与其说是伦理道德的博弈，不如说是人性与爱的较量。男主的每一个决定，反应，包括克隆人jack的每一个反馈和思想，都是人类内心深处关于自私的人性与爱的衡量。理解卡梅隆即将孤独死去无助愤怒的情绪，也理解jack惶恐，害怕，对未来不确定性表现出的惊恐乞求可怜的眼神。如果未来真的能做到indistinguishable，那么唯爱永生。
3.5 男主跟儿子作别时吃毛豆喝啤酒的场景，让我一度以为导演是个中国人
以前一直觉得
本以为又是一出人工智能鸠占鹊巢的惊悚故事，结果在两个自己碰面的高潮戏上没有往这个方向发展，反倒泄了下来，这让之前埋下的对机构和人工智能的不信任都不了了之，更没有对这种情感替代行为的深入思考，反倒成了人类要战胜私欲，变相认可了善意的谎言，这个切入并不是太认同，当然阿里的表演还是一如既往的不错。
时隔21年与《第六日》科技设定类似，但这一次将重点关注于人物的情感。细腻的将病重男主从拒绝克隆人到接受的转变描绘。当影片最后，杰克给卡梅隆留下了爱妻的口信，让他深知自己是被爱包裹，永远不会被遗忘。最后给男主打call，快去拿更多的奖项吧！
