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.
谁可以这样爱我？这样完全、毫无保留……
一直不理解这种举国之力产出的垃圾的意义，包括Death to 2020以及Dont look up这些夸张戏谑一本正经拐着弯吐槽，又不好笑又不正经，有这点时间宁愿看一部认认真真回顾的纪录片，人类所经历的苦难应当严肃。现在这种无非是数码垃圾，没有任何价值，后人打开以为当时就这样，也或者严肃地说会被challenge不严谨或观点偏颇引发争议吧
很浪漫很唯美！但是不太现实，是一个救赎的故事，女主真的好漂亮
You just choose to believe!
宗教味道真的浓，同样的情节，中外拍出来，主题不同
真的非常不错，冲破一切世俗的爱情，结尾很感人，女主的怀孕寓意非常好，值得推荐！
直视黑暗，是为了面对光明时更加诚实~
新闻联播again，以及果然不是互联网，这是纪实作品！
这老套的剧情 但在避难所和保罗的对话那还是感动了
好治愈呜呜呜 画面好美 可是曾经美丽的吸血鬼日记女主nina 怎么老到开始演妈妈的角色了 花期好短💔 男主明明很帅 很有性张力 他好像很有钱但感觉明明很辛苦啊 he太好了
谁可以这样爱我呢？世界上找得到这样完美的人吗？我想里面所给与的爱，是祂给的，是真实有这样的，看起来真是遥不可及的爱，可是也很容易得着的爱，我想没有这样坚定的信仰，男主怎么如此去爱一个人，没有祂的爱，女主怎么能一点点被治愈，纯属个人观点😁
没有去年那一部好 但作为今年最后标记的电影 也是挺不错的圆满了
田园风光又好浪漫，去看日出，在日落下接吻。
You just choose to believe!
不是很理解。原谅了女主很多次。女主因为不能给男主孩子逃跑、赚钱重新做j。
挺没意思的，dont look up还能笑一笑，这纯粹就是夸张后的荒诞集锦呗。为什么和怎么做在大众媒介上出现是天方夜谭。
就像电影说的：“2021年，让2020年看起来像是前传的一年。”
我觉拍的挺好，我关注都是情绪，都是浅尝辄止，但又十分到位那种，画面也贼美
除了无语以外，无话可说，什么垃圾电影，21世纪了
爱情是奢侈品，每个人都想追求它，纯真的、美好的，妓女也不例外！她逃他追，她插翅难飞；爱到最后才发现爱是放手成全，是放虎归山
