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)
男主身材好好，好狗。姐姐帅。见缝插针讽刺职场垃圾老男人，女导演真好。亚洲人也能搞这种素材，谢谢韩国人！
2021年内看的最后一部电影，有什么还能比这部更好地 wrap up the year😆跟去年一样，最喜欢的还是那个英国普通民众。最好笑的梗都在她那。
Rest in peace Armie Hammer.LMAOOO
一年结束的时候看看倒也不错，没多牛也没多烂。
去年的第一集还是很好玩的，毕竟新鲜。今年的梗用同样的套路玩一遍就好无聊。。。拜托明年别玩了。
演技太尬。内容比dont look up多……
讲得还挺狠，美国一部分深刻自省一部分对自己自信还挺分裂
22.03.30 一个虚拟现实世界越来越诱人，因为在现实中这个世界还在努力杀手我们。
网飞好家伙！题材犯禁的轻喜剧，借助异色猎奇主题来讲对女性的不公，社会的偏见。过程流畅自然，节奏紧凑，可惜，高潮开始拉胯，仿佛不知道如何收尾。前女友一闪而过，简直浪费角色。
一年比一年闹剧化，最不可思议的果然还是现实
比上一部还没劲，还是那些人设，甚至还跑了几个人，估计都觉得没什么意思不想搞了，相比于2020年确实少了两个重磅事件，但是就2021年来说，还是有很多可以展开的新闻和事件，但是最后依旧是沦落到那种网民骂街式的马后炮行为
然后就是里面提到的很多事我真的没啥印象，就仿佛不是生活在同个世界...
其实很低端不好看，但去年最后一部是death to 2020，今年最后一部就2021吧，一种表态233
如果说我们从2021中学到了什么，那就是我们从2020里什么都没学到
“去死”系列可能要成网飞的年终固定节目了。
作为一罐乳制品，居然可以做到几乎脱脂，netflix你坏事做尽。
留着2021最后一天看，小失望，梗没玩好，吐槽也没啥力度
结合Don't Look Up一起看，一时分不清哪个更现实。都是现实。
刚出《Death to 2020》时就想看了，结果一直拖到现在直接看2021版了。本身个人就很喜欢伪纪录片的形式，一本正经的搞笑，这个真的是全片讽刺搞笑至极，不禁让人怀疑为何同时生活在一地球上的同一物种，会有如此大的差别。2021年人类的愚蠢和极端又达到了新高度，疫情、环境、社交媒体、政治…不仅让人怀疑，这个世界会好吗？全场最佳是普通英国市民Gemma，每次她一开口我就想笑，这种一脸单纯切迷糊的吐槽太逗了。找机会把《Death to 2020》也补来看
