Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
36/365 清明节看一部阴间电影达成✔️ 歌好听詹米多南帅 勉强能看下来
陪孩子看汪汪队立大功的大电影的时候，我心里就在想，果然老美的文化输出是一以贯之的，就是动画片也是英雄救援风格，外加童年阴影和克服童年阴影，不完美的英雄克服恐惧成为真正的英雄，跟好莱坞输出的价值观完全一致啊。
“For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost.”故乡这两个字，无论最后扎根在哪里，都是不一般的份量。那些熟悉的一草一木、楼房街景，甚至于讨厌的邻里和八卦，在走之前和走了后都是会想念、留恋与不舍的。但就如片中老一辈所说的那样，“There were no roads to Shangri la from our part of Belfast.”“Get yourself to the moon. ”
还不错，就是配音和动画片有点区别，乍一听，有点别扭，配乐很棒
属于一眼就能望到头的好，和爷爷奶奶亲近的孩子会更有感触，Buddy虎头虎脑精力过剩，妈妈也是当代孟母了，爸爸把儿子当成小男子汉，结尾三致如期而来，离别的伤感情绪迅速抽离，肯爵一直专注戏剧的宏大叙事，老了拍点文艺小品还挺惊喜的
2.5。布拉纳再次用村歌电影证明了它的一塌糊涂和完全失控的局面。电影偶尔有一丝灵光乍泄，比如唱歌，奔跑，躲枪的设计，这些是演员赋予电影的。而整个电影充满一个制作者的自恋和鄙夷态度，没有说教却罗里吧嗦在说教，没有zz却一直搞擦边球。请勿碰瓷《罗马》了，这个跟它的区别不再是低劣的模仿效作，而是差别于条条大路通罗马。这种东西能捞的一个导演提名简直是unbelievable~
这啥呀……既想厚重，又要幽默，还要伤感，还想炫技，加一点味精加一点鸡精加一点酱油加一点蔬之鲜，最后一锅乱炖成失真潦草的漫长流水账，一点意思都没有。
太差了，虽然画面镜头不错，配乐还算合格，但是其他真的太差了…故事散到简直无语，能看得出来导演在刻意追求艺术层面的叙事和表达，但是一个电影拍成这样也只剩下矫揉造作和故作深沉了，完全没有文艺电影该有的样子。哪怕是到电影最后一秒我都无法精确地理解到底想要表达些什么…
乡愁永远是艺术创作的母题。
就好像那些拥有远离故土的勇气又有将记忆中的黑白讲述出来的能力的孩子，童年时代一定都受到过伟大影音的影响似的。
但这英国口音怎么有股咖喱味。
Go. Go now. Don't look back. I love you, son.
其实还不错，肯定算不上糟糕，奥斯卡级别的开局，结果导演并没有能抓住更优秀的故事脉络，虽然有一家三代的生活史，但却有点轻佻并没有那么厚重，模特出身的女主演得不错~
四岁的娃第一次看电影，全程不吵不闹，看懂了。宝宝应该会打5星。情节还挺不错的，大人也能陪着看下去不觉得无聊。
比动画剧集要好看许多，至少有些地方值得成人看
1、看来看去觉得相比于其他影片，这部影片评分还可以，于是匆匆买了票，到了电影院发现，除了我们全是带娃的来看的，娃还不超过五六岁。2、电影院座椅特别舒服，把自己想象成幼儿园小孩子，还是可以看完的，也没有特别无聊。3、也算是次神奇的观影体验了。
姐妹俩直到歌曲结束才愿意离开[偷笑]
给我家孩子来评一评，必须给五星，很喜欢看汪汪队，家里各种玩具都堆满了
看不出一点水平的电影。明显更像是戴维斯电影的仿作，居然一堆人看成了落马
看小盆友的反应，应该是很满意…完整的一次看完，没有被吓着要走
