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)
最后死掉的应该是original，被copy毒死了。判断依据是妈妈和男友对她投以蜜汁笑容，说明他们俩都知道这个人是copy，而且妈妈还给她买了隐形眼镜(遮盖眼珠颜色)。copy蹩脚的开车技术和对车祸的描述也是copy的语言风格。
结局确实很有心机, 不管哪个答案都说得通, 不过导演采访并没有否认克隆体活这一观点, 主要论据还是开车技术, 但我个人觉得让本体活更加讽刺也是更好的拍法。
确实让人想到天鹅婉歌，形式与主题不错，拍的确实烂，不如天鹅挽歌完整精致。
讽刺意味深长的片子。
开放式结局，粗糙的头发，摔碎的手机，以及将计就计的喝水等等都埋下伏笔，证明她是本体，可怜的是强势的母亲，嫌弃她的男友爱上了她的克隆体，联合想把本体杀害，可悲。小粉红加一星⭐
本体好惨 但没想到克隆体也不咋地 都逃不过生活的摧残哦呵呵
立意不错，不过剧情bug太多，明明导演可以讲好一个本体反杀复制婊的故事，却不满足于此非要故作高深给你搞了一个看似开放式结局的结局。。。
未来世界无奇不有，当你为了生存下去要和你的复制体决斗时，你的心情将会怎样？肯定不美丽！肯定想千方百计杀了对方，这就是人的本性：为了活下去，啥都会去干！
感觉最后活下来的应该是复制体，不能过自己想要的生活而难过
赞同活下来的是本体.这种操蛋的生活,有啥好回去的啊??自己过不香嘛
类似于“天鹅挽歌”的套路，不过增加了许多悬疑的成分，结尾处留了很多悬念，车子怎么撞烂的，最后流泪的应该就是本体，替身被弄死了，男友和老妈确接受的是替身……不错的故事设定，但是逻辑很荒诞，估计导演想表达的就是克隆这件事情就很荒诞
每个人都冷冰冰，好像没有感情的机器，却也更凸显故事的荒诞，观影过程老让我想起《龙虾》。女主演技在线。
这种开放式结局，我一度认为会有彩蛋揭秘，然而并没有…
里层 发现男朋友和妈妈是谋杀共犯时 观众看到的是强化这种对人的物化 你爱的不是人 而是他的特点 当特点可以被取代 改变 人本身也就不重要了 而理解的翻转也没有推翻这层控诉
概念有趣，只是除了主角的大部分角色的变化线条都毫无弧度，一而再再而三地直接90度转变有点让人无语
烂尾，女主练了一年格斗，就算是开放结局也实在是没有表达出什么深意。到底是克隆人假装本体，还是本体假装克隆人在替代自己，已经不重要了，为什么没有一场森林打斗反转的刻画呢？！
都认为复制体是个独立的人了，还要求本体提供经济支持?训练了一年女主为什么要对复制体心软呢啊啊啊，无法接受，那一枪打得超好，要继续杀掉复制体的话绝对能成功。毒死了本体还要成为名正言顺的本体，替代了女主放弃的旧人生，那就好好做一个好女儿、好女朋友呀，哭什么呢哈哈哈。
这和锂2048还能连上。服了。故事虽小，但是还挺有意思的。女主被忽悠，弄了一个克隆人来弥补家人或许根本不会有的对她的思念，掏空积蓄，结果喜欢克隆人的老妈和男友想留克隆人却从头到尾没给过经济支持。克隆人也活得不开心不快乐。唉。。里面那只狗真好看。
留下观众你们沉思吧！
淡淡的黑色幽默，剧情安排的很巧妙，这就是围城一般的生活啊
