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)
“我最喜欢鸟儿～”诸如此类
国产动画片里的经典，百看不厌。让现在的动画制作者汗颜。看了这个才知道，技术不是一部好片子的保障。看看人SOUTH PARK 不照样好看
豆瓣TOP250补标。少年记忆追忆（县太爷要金银珠宝一段有印象）。中国动画在魔幻尺度的一座高峰。不同于《魔方大厦》的现代风格，《天书奇谭》有着浓厚的民间智慧背景。2000年前后，在邻居宋健的家里，我曾翻阅过许多本小人书，嗜得的故事大同小异，对历史的阐述、对现实的期许，仿若一体。
精良的动画呀 仔细看 跑动中的背景没有一张重复的 这就是态度！！
🎯主题主旨：
小时候的记忆，但可能因为太小，当时要不就是看不懂，要不就是忘记了。昨天爸爸提及，今天一早醒来就赶紧找来看，熟悉的人物音乐剧情，立刻回到童年。我记得当初看的时候，觉得挺恐怖的。哈哈哈。

watch because of Jesse, but 90 mins long is bit too long

一个做慈善行业的姑娘，在知道那些毫不起眼的真相后连做两人，多么强烈的刺激才让她变成一个杀手的？我有点不明白，所以不能给出高评价了。
年轻狐狸精还真美。袁公乃中国的普罗米修斯呵。
狐狸精长得简直可啪，小孩儿看真的没问题吗？不是谁拿到天书就会法术的，你必须十分努力才能看起来毫不费力，这其实是个励志故事。
经典之经典。中国早期动画，美术品味与质量都秒杀现在哈日商业画法；而且，基于中国民间神话改编，故事性很强，充满玄幻氛围。即使现在重看，也觉趣味十足。
堕男胎的失败下场，画面不错，但故事核心真的是太封建落后了，果然没传承下来是正确的。最讨厌这种大胖小子了，看见这种猪男宝就恶心，还虐待动物，全片都是刻板印象，女性只有圣母和妖女，呵呵呵，而且全片全是男宝，甚至还有求接男宝剧情，真的呕了，看得出来全中国从古到今都不欢迎女童，结果还是父权的结局，呵呵。父权展露无遗，女人就只能当圣母上吊or狐狸精被山砸死，大无语。传统果然没一个好东西。
結局算意料之中，lily collins在最後15分鐘才有表現的機會。
故事编排和美术设计都是一流，集隐喻反讽传统技艺于一体的优秀之作，结尾铿锵有力掷地有声，实乃国漫不可多得之经典。
故弄玄虚 差火候 气氛不够惊悚诡异 结局也是意料之中 论盗贼选鞋的重要性 莉莉柯林斯真的美
导演是Lily Collins的老公，实在是个废物男的，接的片儿全是靠老婆和岳父的关系，还拍得比谁都烂。不知道Collins是怎么看上她的，大概是她最low self-esteem那段厌食期遗留下的自暴自弃式恋情。
那时候拍这种带着浓厚“反封建反官僚”味道的动画是很普遍的，也才会出现这么有意味的戛然而止、带着崇高性和悲剧色彩的结局，如今怎么敢这么拍，美其名曰怕孩子们看不懂，其实是权力象征转向了，那时还好说自己是老奶奶那一帮的，现在却会被观者想象成是县太爷、小皇帝一帮的。
