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)
7.0 今年的没有去年那么好笑了 2021果然从国会暴乱开始讲起了 可惜疫情还是没有结束 感觉2021年的美国人民完全没有学会总结 而是活的更过激进和混沌了
2021年度梗（即使是以美国梗为主）大乱炖盘点，笑死如果放在2021最后一天看就更好了
要是Weekend Update也能做个类似形式的年度总结，可能更有趣。
插科打诨的串讲一年里发生的大事，从特朗普下台到塔利班上台，似乎是奈飞开创的又一个新传统，不过今年的没有去年的好看。
今年的总结如同隔靴搔痒 说了很多但又等于没说 就像片中提到的那样 我们如何开始就如何结束 后疫情时代的世界依旧嘈杂而荒唐 地球病了人类也不会好到哪去（流媒体出品的片子没有太多忌讳地讽刺批判 这是挺令人羡慕的）
《2020去死》一样的味道，还是那几个人设：傻不拉几的姑娘，呆在家的妈妈，科研人员，youtuber，etc。还是以美国为主体，讽刺意味一贯。不过从中看到了生活中常见的一点：人总是听不见（或者说不愿意听）不同的意见，而争论的观点也是基于自己的思维方式，so人还是做孤独的保持自己观点的独立个体比较好。
讽刺依然辛辣，两个普通民众也太好笑了，无法想象不接种疫苗或佩戴口罩，现实生活果然还是太扯了。我其实觉得它比较偏向民主党，Let's go Brandon都没被提及
魔幻到一定程度，就会分不清是创作还是现实。
比2020好那麽一点，但真的就只是一点而已。(全片唯一我觉得说得对的就是，2021的人都没从2020吸取一丝教训)
爱具体的人，要有独立思考。
7.1.已经成网飞年度吐槽大会了。休格兰特演的历史学家老把哈利波特权游指环王星战之类的和历史搞混实在笑喷了。
只能说这个OL服装还不错，遇到同样“性”趣的妹子也是运气好
但从另一个角度看，当今世界意识形态真的是超级割裂...
It's everything you should know about 美式幽默.
5. 因为充斥色情内容 metaverse should be called me too verse
一波接一波地讽刺，看起来太爽了。而且明明是针对他们自己，有的地方却让我为我们自惭形秽。我为我的自惭形秽而自惭形秽，因为我能做什么呢？我也是受害者而已。
非常荒诞又是现实真正存在的事件，世界变得越来越没有理性，无脑疯狂。回看，2019年是那么的遥远
不光是death to，而是fucked up
刚在影评码了好多字，提交之后说要审，不合规就返回注册邮箱......我tm注册邮箱登陆不上！为什么都2021年最后一天了也不让我好过呜呜呜
应景电影：2021过去了，世界变好还是变得糟糕了？
