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)
《不要抬头》确实好看，但它荒诞吗？很抱歉，一点也不。
还挺好看的，欧亨利式结尾。剧情有点赶，伦太郎爹的动机有点立不住脚，其他都还可以吧。贤人新形态好看飞了，魅力无边，漂亮月神。八年后托马老师可真帅啊，当爹好加分，狠狠梦了。
There is a moment I hope the comet is real.
結尾可以和wall e無縫銜接了~ 不敢相信it‘s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism竟然沒有被納入台詞？？ 劇本完全就是capitalist realism+society of the spectacle +一些post covid apocalypse焦慮/ 看到小李子飾演的是一位天文學教授我就知道這你媽是一部沒羞沒臊的喜劇 片中用到的小彩蛋是都沒安什麼好心 最終也是a critique of capitalism that descends into a parody of critique
every time I watch Leonardo's new films all I can think about is his young beautiful face. Oh youth.
和《忧郁症》以高纯度的影像为媒，竭力渲染的迷幻末世体验不同，亚当•麦凯在意的是“天启”降临前，社会秩序脱轨和非理性亢奋的贲张。因此影片也可被视为专向这个娱乐至死时代开炮的实景真人秀，看似繁杂的病毒式meme、弹窗和档案碎片糅合瞬时都有了意义，让人惊觉大笑后的谬然和失语。面临死亡倒计时仍要握手共飨的晚餐，固然有些套路化的嫌疑，却也扣准了深埋在这种虚伪“温情”假象下，人类对文明和体面残存的固执，是卑弱也是伟大的。另，片中大半情动时刻源于小李子饰演的科学家，若没有他游刃而有神采的发挥，兴许魅力会减退不少。
I quite like the ending
大概是Netflix迄今出品的最佳。用笑到肚子痛的手法讲了一个非常现实非常严肃充满讽刺的故事。
对于熟悉这两年美国时势的观众而言，这部讽刺电影实在是一部爽片，故事虽然是虚构的，却全都能找到现实原型。可以说，现实有多荒诞多离谱多操蛋，这部电影就有多搞笑多讽刺多爽。
本片属于是将Trollberg自身的历史一口气给补完了，巨魔这一巨大的线索被制作组挖掘得相当深刻。接下来的一大主线可能是这座城市背后的魔法的故事，女巫从何而来，她们扮演着怎样的角色？以及Hilda从未出现过的父亲是否在故事中真的毫无必要？
真的不错，又悬疑刺激，以不同的正义角度讲述了一个故事
托马老师永远滴神，贤人和伦太郎都拿最强形态打，托马老师是一册就完事了。而且托马老师守护小路的眼神是真的赞，并且剧情大体都不错是上乘的外传，只能说你令和老大哥就是厉害
除了对我不好，其他都挺好的。圣刃有太多的遗憾，因为疫情没有拍成的正统剧场版，却有了作为外传存在的唯一剧场版。。。无奈又有一丝宿命感的味道。。。
不止是影射米国政要吧，更像影射小学文凭、影射那些让民众自我陶醉的暴团。沉醉在大梦里的人不就是讽刺对象么
仮面ライダーが生意気な奴 そして目の前の命に見込むだけ。ヒーロー達は同じかもなあ。
和以往的假面骑士剧场版很不一样，比起战斗更多挖掘人物，终于讲了一个成熟的故事。虽然没看全TV有一定影响，但不妨碍最后被感动。
作为后日谈来说整体基调过于灰暗，但确实还不错，最后托马说话的表情语气感觉都有点遁入空门了，太残忍了，三人组从头到尾也没有见面（只有伦太郎和贤人在失忆的状态下有几句对话）
前半部分电影刻意烘托一种悲凉的氛围，因此貌似没有BGM（或是很小声没听到）反派刻画虽然不够完美，但是一个半小时6个主要角色的同时进行难免顾此失彼，之后事件解决后回归平静的生活有点Eva终的味道。总结：正如它的TV剧一样，有不完美，但若是对圣刃特别喜爱的话则是不容错过的外传
脑子里已经在循环深爱四重奏了。这个片尾太好听了太好听了。
數碼和疫情時代的諷刺喜劇，著實很有時效性。群星的表演自然信手拈來，各種吐槽也兩點頻出。到頭來顯得輕浮了，骨子裏的悲哀和無奈倒是很實在。
