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)
释放内心的野兽容易，但驯服它，却并不容易。
作为一个2002年也才十二三岁的millennial这片子太有共鸣了，4-Town就是千禧年左右的Backstreet Boys/Westlife/NSYNC吧哈哈哈，片中对青春期女孩中二幻想的刻画超好笑。以母女关系为主线很有意思，结尾稍微俗套了一点但片子是好看的！
东亚小孩是东亚父母的奴隶，直到其中一方死为止。
青春会有焦虑烦恼，也会有兴奋激动，皮克斯这次抓住了这点开始做文章，可以说是稳定输出了，讲出了要做自己的道理，也讲了亲情，也是难得的没有偏见的亚裔形象。
5.人物塑造非常喜欢，美美迷恋乐队，而妈妈永远把家庭放在第一位，gap非常符合现实
在皮克斯作品中算中等之姿，但能接纳一个华裔导演，并无冒犯地演绎了一个中国文化底色的故事，还是挺令人欣喜的。目前的中国电影市场是不会接受这个故事的价值观的，以偶像崇拜作为对抗反派家长的手段，这是不能容忍的。
可能是因为我的原生家庭太不中国式了，所以我对这类题材都只能表示理解但是无法共情。
彼此和解，
还是对抗上一代的期望、努力做自己那一套，华裔来拍确实很合适。中国人苦之久矣。毛绒绒也挺可爱的。
Pixar使我快樂！！！大姐們變身太帶感了！！！道教吟唱+Kpop remix更帶感！！！淨化身心⋯⋯鎮壓獸心⋯⋯元氣歸位⋯⋯徹悟返真⋯⋯
好真实啊，母亲的价值观一直变成一个严厉的自我在脑海中时不时批评自己，直到大学离开家才好一些，结婚后，她的影子也才又少了一些。以前读书总看到男作家侃侃而谈那种哪吒式的父子关系，我却无论如何无法理解。现在越来越母女关系的作品出现，这世界才终于有点应该有的样子。
这只可爱到犯规的大喵有望成为继苏利文之后最受宠的P家毛绒IP
五星
接受自己，与自己和解。中国传统文化中对自己的“完美”要求也会传递到下一代，每一代都在重演，不过好在总会有突破的一次。
用熊猫代表本我的动物性，选华裔代表被压抑个性的群体，符号择取上有心思。红色、熊猫、竹林、旗袍、道场、祠堂、chinatown，中国元素使用得十分讨巧。最后一次仪式时粤语唱经声中渐入b-box，再叠加4-town的出场，可称神来之笔；同样让人拍手称赞的还有用首饰进行封印的构思。Pixar的创作人员应该都放飞了自己的red panda，才能每次都献出这么brilliant的创意；而中国的内容创作之所以如此疲软乏味，可能也是因为同样的原因——人不有趣，作品也难以有趣。
谁能拒绝可可爱爱的小熊猫，没有人！心中的野兽，封印并不安全，学会如何与野兽共处，才是更有勇气的选择。母女之间好像和解了，好像又没有，希望曾经的受伤者，不要再变为施暴者。
多1星，为导演的“包”的好印象。
一只长得并不可爱的肥胖发红熊猫在唐人街乱串？
不就是女性身体和心理的成长，居然弄得这么神经兮兮的，简直对不起卡夫卡。至于反传统的那一面，背离前几代的统去继承更老的统，这是文艺复兴么？
太可爱了小熊猫，小熊猫战队完全可以组成战队保护地球！
