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)
虽然最后的部分略显平淡，但是这种充满生活气息的片子还是让人看着很舒服。
前半段紧张，后半段轻松愉快，还不错。一些细节能看出日本虽然萧条了还是比我们发达
配合霓虹延迟退休看绝了。
适合黄金周放的合家欢电影。原来小野花梨在病房那场戏打了个酱油哈哈🥹
老后破产的话题，结果拍了个童话结局，啧啧啧
这练了个什么瑜伽 太傻了 哈哈哈
任性一回不枉活，生前葬礼合家欢。
简介能不能别瞎写？400万明明是一开始支付公公葬礼的好嘛，另外哪里借用女儿结婚的钱了？？？
哈哈哈我也要在死前热闹的办一场，收收回礼。就是想推行这个sharehouse吧还是感叹一下上有老下有小的中年人有多苦逼hhhh不过怎么说，到时候肯定是一堆老人，不可能会有年轻人跑进去住还照顾你们的。虽然已经和好几个闺蜜约好了一起养老也差不多是这个意思吧，大家把房子一卖，留一套其他的钱就该花花该吃吃该买买，像五郎的妈妈那样，趁活着的时候潇洒！！
很有趣的小品电影，看了以后想如果我中年失业了该怎么办哈哈
这貌似是我看的第一个天海佑希的非女强人角色的电影
女神给出的养老方案是share house …
天海祐希1967年生人，人家还在奋斗，我有什么借口逃跑
真是不能相信我心里的女王演了一个家庭主妇，丈夫什么都不管替他处理家事的管事婆。若要说女性平等，日本还是不及中国。快速看完了，只觉得摄影不错。
电影的篇幅有限，所以没有原著丰满，更像是个合家欢喜剧，人物刻画比较表面，没有重点细致刻画。
比较好的是提到了很多大家都在焦虑的养老金问题，养老院、生病、子女、失业…但最后的结尾过于轻飘飘。明明知道那些山一样沉重的问题从不会像这样自动消失，生活从来不会在你什么都没做的时候自愈…
一部小人物视角面对生活顽强挣扎的喜剧片 大和美的结局算是标配（虽然最后强行团圆有点违和） 还是挺让人惊喜的 风格类同《乔乔的异想世界》非常喜欢 节奏超棒
从老无所依到合租房，挺荒谬的，也很会带节奏。不知不觉间，一个很凄惨的人生变得无限美好。编剧忽悠人的功力不简单。4
生前葬挺好的，不想死了后那么沉闷，也不想听和尚念经，感谢生命中出现的人，大家开开心心多好。
慢慢步入中年的人和岁数较大的人看了会有更多感触，女主和丈夫年纪半百，上有老下有小，父亲刚过世，夫妻两人双双失业，存款不多。结尾是圆满的，生活总是不尽如人意，态度很重要，男主和女主，未曾放弃，重新找工作，想办法节省开支，放下尊严和家人坦白协商，找朋友帮忙，虽然疲惫，虽然无奈，虽然困惑，但什么都不剩的时候，还有自己的双手。感到心里不平衡时，想想父亲的遗言，柿子饼最多不过三个，人生不要贪多(记不全了)，知足常乐
