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)
究竟是什么定义了“我”的存在，身体和记忆完全一致，生物连续性和社会连续性丝毫不影响，这难道不是“我”么？看起来百利无一害的选择，“我”有什么可抗拒呢？除了自私、领地概念，还有什么不可接受的呢？真喜欢这种未来社会细节啊，家居、无人汽车、手表都像是很快就能实现的
3.5离开心爱的人是很痛苦的，被人遗忘是很痛苦的，一直思念是很痛苦的
不得不承认，Apple+的质感是极好的！
不以故事和场景迷人，只有细致入微的感情~适合心平气和时慢慢的品味
Look at me in the eyes and tell me you love me.
3.5，科技乐观主义片。过去在讨论“什么定义了我是我？”时，主流观点之一是“回忆”。在记忆和情感、喜好都可以共享传送的设定下，克隆人的确就是生命的延续了，只是对原来的那个人就不太公平了。男主演技佳，本体和克隆人的微表情区分绝了。这片结局没有任何反转、黑化，Cameron本身就是很不错的人呀。这部片是我今年看过的第三部用书架上有很多相同的书表现情侣是soul mate的电影了。还有，小狗才是最好的！
闷。
音乐深沉，画面高级，情感充沛，表达克制，可以明显的感受到生命从身体中流逝的样子。
为什么我想起了一本古早言情小说，叫《会有天使替我爱你》
男主以为女主吃他巧克力结果是他吃了女主巧克力挺搞笑的，我也没看出来，倒回重看发现的确如此。有点像伦理片，男主要病死了，克隆了一个自己，还把记忆全部复制过去，让其代替自己照顾老婆孩子。节奏有点慢，1.5倍速看前面一半，切换到2倍速看完剩下一半。男主依依不舍最后还是让克隆人代替自己继续生活，这也太悲催了，最后一个人悄无声息孤独死去？话说克隆技术都这么牛了，这个病还是没得治？
优点吧，画面干净简洁优美，各种插叙的剪辑也非常不错。环境部分总是会让我想到机械姬。剧情上，一旦代入感不真实，就很容易跳脱。比如科技已达克隆人地步，总会感觉整体环境改变应该会更大，另外一个克隆人如此大的项目，不可能在客户还在纠结反复的阶段就已准备就绪，一旦这个前提怀疑，所有的剧情都会感觉是根据需要去推动挣扎～不真实感也会很高。细品故事情节很简单～所以能以这么有层次的结构方法去展示，已是一部合格电影！
每个人类最终都会遭遇癌症，且癌细胞也是不断变异。所以即使在拥有完美克隆人的技术实现语境下，依然会无法攻克癌症。当男主os“truelove soulmate”才会想生小孩的时候我就已经共情要哭哭了，加上亲人离世的悲痛感。但理性思考，每个人类最终为了陪伴家人都替换为克隆人后，整个社会全是克隆人的时代……
生命并不只是表象部分，科学也拷贝不了人的“精要”
剧情的发展不仅跟我原本想象的克隆人代替男主不同，甚至还有点温馨
有after yang在前这个被衬托得太好了。。对爱人的爱战胜了对自己的嫉妒 真温暖
我该安心 还是嫉妒呢
警惕Frank Ocean和Radiohead被滥用
克隆人的思路和同样是Apple TV+出品的《基地》如出一辙，个人觉得本片被低估了
3.5分 每一个道具都在我的审美点上，但过于煽情和拖沓，故事线过于简单且直白，可能我已经是个肮脏的大人了吧
请鸡汤博主不要假装科幻导演，谢谢。对“宜家风科幻片”彻底脱敏了。
