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)
这个系列的审美好像只有第一部是在线的，每每带着期待打开新的一部就出现一个毫不可爱的新角色，这一次没有新角色，但是硬生生让Jonny更烦人了，他变身的龙也是真的像个绿香蕉。
在丛林中找到二人后，梅菲斯径直扑向强尼，呜呜可怜的爸爸，心疼德古拉
角色对换一下，系列里这部最有意思，以后应该不会再看了哈哈
没有最后那段说教就好了，明明最后的接力战很燃……btw这套表演方式实在是过时了，不想再看啦！
相比较前三部，感觉有点硬往里塞东西的嫌疑，不过也不失为一个轻松愉快的喜剧动漫电影
看了两部剧之后，已经熟悉了剧情节奏套路，甚至看到三分之二就猜到了真相，但还是为结局心碎了一下，令人心寒的其实不是真相，而是村民的态度啊......个人心目中，道枝骏佑和西岛秀俊撑起了SP的演技部分
最近的剧场版都喜欢先发个SP做铺垫，只是这个女跟班真的不讨喜。案件本身就是个悲剧，也体现了人性中的排外思想。
补标，22.4.5。没啥特别感触，不如第一部。
感觉结束得很匆忙，新奇的设定没有得到发挥，我终于认识到梅菲斯哪都好，就是选老公的眼光指定有点问题，可能某种程度随她爸，Johnny加上三表哥的专业傻子配音就是纯纯一冲动傻子，Adam没来配有点可惜
为了某人去看的r指定…没想到还看到好几个搞笑艺人出演，生草。剧情就那样吧，中规中矩，感觉没有必要拍成电影，sp足矣。
不知不觉已经看到第四部了，据说是完结篇，感觉还是有几分不舍的。
没看过前面几部。但是不妨碍观看，进入丛林后，那段剧情真的太搞笑了
为了两个小朋友的未来，全村人一起毁掉了一个家庭，呵呵。人年纪大了自然就不再年轻貌美了。挺一般的，也不像电影。
家附近影院搞活动，10块一大一小送爆米花可乐，性价比高到爆，体验感超级好，虽然没看过前面几部也觉得是很有爱的可爱的片子，适合小朋友看，不需要动脑子
道枝弟弟演技太垮了，长得挺帅的人怎么演戏一点sense都没有，求你去拍平面广告吧！J家居然把他塞到那么重要的角色太暴露缺陷了，如果打个酱油还不至于差得那么突兀
剧情好无聊 笑点有 就是那种在电脑看也不会差很多 很傻逼 没注意看结果还看了个国语版
疫情宅在家，看这种无脑搞笑的电影不是很好吗？
连续IP创作的难点就在于前后人物设定必须一致，这就是要带着枷锁跳舞，创作难度增加
女主和她的娃戏份好少。那个女婿…一直在捣乱真心爱不起来，不知道为啥编剧应要女主深爱他，老让她爹当坏人
看似结局后真正的结局，把一切都推倒。（2022-05-17）
