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)
小时候看过宣传画报，现在看时，与想象中的儿童动画有点不太一样，这一部其实并不适合儿童看：和尚是色眯眯的，官僚都是贪得无厌的，就连玉帝也是边吃瓜子边升堂的。很容易就想到主创想表达什么意思了。其次是形态各异的人设，只用看看外表就晓得；再次是配乐，民族感极强。这才是中国动画长片。
令我感到后怕的不是三只狐狸的狡诈，因为作为狐狸本没有善恶的概念，没有为善的动机应是理所应当，最令我细思恐极之处在于县太爷的愚不可及和贪得无厌，还有国家统治者的愚蠢无知、玩物丧志，世道有如此的君主，长此以往国将不国矣。奸贼小人得道，这是何其的一种悲哀。
就记得小时候看过，再一看，果然看过。美术很中国，故事也很中国，连那夸张的动作都很中国。再看的感受是，怎么会这么蠢呢？怎么会这样，怎么会那样，骗小孩差不多。一想，现实里难道不就是这样吗？现在不会有这种动画片了吧。
修复版比原片多了十分钟的幕后花絮，画质在被修复的同时，部分声音也得到了重制，尤其低音部分的出现则更为惊奇，毕竟老片子的声道都是比较刺耳的，低音的加入则使本片在回归影院的同时，观感同时也得到了提升，这一点做的非常好。本片的画风也是比较传统的老式国风，故事也比较有弧度，尤其是对反面角色的描写可谓入木三分，甚至风头盖过了主角蛋生，此外对于权力的滥用之嘲讽也是不落俗套，对于现在的社会而言也是具有一定的教育意义。
审美和隐喻一流，故事线有点无聊，结果我在半场后睡着了……对不起
小时候没看懂，现在来看满满的都是槽点啊，看这种老片，绝对不要上弹幕网站，否则真是毁童年毁得孜孜不倦啊，2333
【4K纪念版】人物设定鲜明，分镜干脆利落，画面非常富有诗意，如果说小时候看是看热闹场面，现在再看，能品出更多幕后人员的用心和创意，还有审美高度。一转眼离剧本定稿到现在整整四十年了，无限感慨。。
2021.12.22看了4K版本，如今真的很难看到这么具有中国特色的动画了，这部动画确实不记得小时候看过，也许看过几个画面，但并不是我儿时喜欢的画风。小时候对中式动画并不觉得稀奇反而觉得土，到如今才发觉这些老动画的美。
相比现在的什么蓝猫，什么羊的，这片简直了都。
县太爷：老鼠，孝心一片取功名，贪心一片偷鱼米。
去安利大聖反而吃安利了，中國動畫快點歸來吧！！
《天书奇谭》作为动画电影的绘画功底即便在今日看来依旧充满着中国特有的美学魅力，独具匠心的画风呼之欲出的是那中国文化深厚的底蕴，而于此中那天马星空的奇想，行云流水般简单却有赋有深厚寓意的神话架构，使电影由内而外皆堪为完美。
好好好，那个年代的中国动画片普遍带有对于现实生活的讽刺意味，但是现在这份讽刺已经全变成了幼稚
大官小官是坏的，
这部我小时候没看过诶！补了之后感觉很喜欢！
之前看过，yyds，这次4k重制又去看了！好可爱，好有趣啊！美术风格非常特别也很漂亮，年代感很重，配音太棒了！而且那时的剧本真敢写啊！
当官的家人是坏的。
真正的民族电影，从造型、布景到音乐、故事，太多可以考究的了。
小时候看的，虽然很久远了，但是知道当时觉得特别赞，哈哈。那个时候我 还年幼
到底有没有下集啊。感谢央视少儿频道，很清晰呢。
