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)
很有意思的故事，很古典的鋪陳，有點希區柯克的影子，慢慢地講一個並沒有尖銳矛盾衝突的故事，但能讓人一直想看下去。
但是问题在于中途过于荒诞，园丁死的好像死神来了的既视感。
小时候最喜欢的动画,没想到这么大了再重看还是这么有意思.
上美厂作为建国后几代国人的共同记忆，在美学风格上是曾经达到过迪士尼、吉卜力的水平的，虽然因为更加注重传统文化的本土表达，在思想内核的普世性上比两者差一些，但也更凸显了中国动画王者的地位。只是市场化浪潮之下，别说上美厂，连吉卜力都日渐式微了（前几年花大力气做出来的《辉夜姬物语》算是最后的辉煌了），也就迪士尼能凭借全球化的先发优势到处攻城略地。在3D动画的大潮下，欧洲的黏土动画已经好多年都没有代表作品了，上美厂曾经的水墨、木偶、剪纸、皮影动画更是几乎绝迹。好在，去年6月份腾讯视频、今年10月份西瓜视频开始陆续上线上美厂的超清修复作品，现在院线又上映了《天书奇谭》的4K修复版，闲置许久的老胶片终于可以利用起来了。
感觉非常伍迪艾伦？三位名角演技了得，可是中途开始疲软到最后。。。这究竟是剧本故事本身的问题还是节奏的问题呢？
蛋生的师傅好帅啊~~~~~~~~
唯一比较失望的是因为其鲜明的主题，内容上没有更大胆的创新，本盼着出现几个像铁扇公主里一样让我惊喜的镜头，最终是没有看到。
开幕黄色字体让我想到了低俗小说 但音乐又让我感觉像是希区柯克的惊魂记
还是得承认故事本身放在今天看是偏弱的，但是81年竟然是40年前了，最后那些幕后看的人动容
天道无私，留尘后世。
《天书奇谭》最让我感动的是影片最后一段的纪录片，不由得感叹老一辈艺术家们的用心，他们在追求艺术的道路上一丝不苟，每一个部门都有着相同的目标，这不单是物质的快乐，更是精神的升华。
铺垫一小时，最后五分钟，开头感觉是个大片，结果是个巨坑。

欣赏电影对权贵的嘲弄。引用毛老师的一句话，“左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，然后一百年之后，我们的影视剧把心机和穷人，又把天真和富人进行了链接。”
刚开始以为是black humor，记过他说是惊悚片？
被4K修复版片尾的幕后部分打动了…不仅仅是一部动画，更是这群人的青春…
4K修复版在片尾加了一段纪录短片，才晓得项目源起是BBC递来合拍动画的剧本，上美厂在其基础上重构故事（改编《平妖传》），彻底甩开束缚，往搞怪喜剧的方向制作。人物造型和场景设计一如既往取材自传统绘画，叙事的展开非常松弛且自由，而我最惊讶的还是片子的讽刺力度，对官场、宗教、市民都有丝毫不留情面的批判。在西游记、白蛇传、封神榜风靡市场的当下，动画前辈的艺术观念仍是最超前的，他们用作品诠释着继承与创新。钱运达导演提到的“奇、趣、美”的标准，如今有几部国产动画真正达到了呢？把哪吒和赛博朋克结合、把青蛇扔到现代都市，只是画虎不成反类犬，真正的现代性在于反叛精神，《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》的立意远未被超越。
男狐狸：地主傻儿子，贪吃无能是非惹，狐狸尾巴一旁露。
2021.11.6大银幕4K修复版，包场。狐狸母女进宫后看睡着，上个世纪左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，一百年不到，国产影视剧又把心机和穷人、天真和富人进行了链接，穷人也许更容易败坏，但一定是富人先堕落的，
