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)
an excellent update of Truman's World. The only regret I have is about the ending, why on earth did Guy downgrade himself as a love letter to Millie? that's like opposite to what the AI is all about. He is not just something created by Keys, he's an independent mind with his own feelings and his own world of life! Uh, this really drives me nuts
娱乐性确实可以，有些小点子很有意思，但整体创意欠佳，故事bug也不少，最后还爱与希望，那种观察类游戏能持续多久？应该有好的方式结束，而不是呼吁回到现实却做了一整套童话，都不用上班吗
打着热爱游戏的旗号宣传回归真实生活老老实实跟同事谈恋爱，好莱坞制造远渡重洋感动中国。（事业飞速上升几年后的塔导明显膨胀了，在成为好莱坞包贝尔之前请及时收手。）
既想有深度又想爆米花，想面面俱到，最后平庸之上。
合格的爆米花片，女主太美妙，可惜不能和赛博人在一起。自以为主角的我们，不过也是别人世界的NPC。
非常好看，瑞安简直就是另一个金凯瑞！小贱贱太适合这个造型了！客串牛逼！
我也会唱玛丽亚凯莉的这首！
从True man到Free guy，载体随着时代主流娱乐方式变迁，但这部标榜英雄主义和新自由主义为主的电影从深度到剧情跟前者都不是一个级别的。小变态更有看点
嗯，可能我期望过高了，就还好，故事情节非常老套，看点就是演员了，有一些些搞笑，没了。
真人线上版GTA，概念挺好的，应该是大部分游戏迷们预期中的电影形态，但看久了肯定觉得无聊，因此主创也想到了后半段赶紧加入一个核心冲突，虽然所有动作戏都是在游戏里完成少了很多刺激感（即使关掉复活功能），但整体趣味性没太大损失，并且由于瑞安雷诺兹对NPC的精彩演绎以及钱老板和美队的惊喜客串使得观影感受完全不俗。Guy打Dude，哈哈哈。
it’s just a sweet sweet fantasy baby biatch
觉醒的AI，存档再来的西部世界。即便算不上多新鲜的创意，电影也拍得非常流畅。然而，对于所表现和歌颂的游戏NPC，电影再努力，也只是游戏的向下兼容成品，如同没能面世的“自由世界2”。
工业化这东西真是牛逼…充满了20、30年前味道的故事套一个GTA的壳再加最新的技术和特效就可以再卖一大笔钱，谁跟你说电影是看故事来着😅，但这编剧怕是根本不玩游戏吧，不过冒犯老玩家也无所谓，等再过10年他们又能套着元宇宙的壳把“寻找真爱”和“寻找自我”的故事再向10后们卖一次
真实世界怪奇物语小哥的暗恋才动人啊。和今年看过的一篇文的男配情节几乎一样，但那个崽没能打过绿茶攻，为受设计的支线剧情最后一个人默默又改了回去。当时就扎我心了，这里给了个he，我谢谢你TAT ps跳舞妈宝笑尿了😂
好甜好快乐呜呜呜呜啊我疯狂推眼镜抹泪……顺便Joe终于不再是男妈妈了（
我居然对着屏幕给他们比了个心
好甜好快乐呜呜呜呜啊我疯狂推眼镜抹泪……顺便Joe终于不再是男妈妈了（
人类需要在游戏里厮杀、npc需要在觉醒里善良。有时反而希望时代不要走太快，大家在觉醒时段里多待些日子就好了。
我就爱这种电影！我爱小贱贱！哇咔咔咔咔咔！我爱老牛！！！而且还有续集！我爱续集！！！但是爱情线不合理。
这点在《无敌破坏王》和《头号玩家》里体现的淋漓尽致，这也是为什么前者作为一部合家欢动画，后者相较游戏更多展现的是80年代流行文化，但却被无数游戏玩家所热爱。
