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.
相对与真心为你悲壮压抑的结局，新剧场版的结局也太温柔了吧。每个人都找到了归宿，他们不再是困在eva里的孩子啦，他们长大了，不需要eva啦。
最令我感动的可能是Toho cinema IMAX的豪华音效……庵野秀明真的是喜欢彩虹啊，大剧情真是套路啊，中间那段打斗真的不是搞笑吗…
没人不喜欢20岁 而老友记记录着所有人的20岁
不管大家打了多少 Botox 重聚的开头有一丝尴尬 访谈时有多鸡毛 针对粉丝向的这集重聚特辑依让人动容
观众真好糊弄啊。A simple Zoom call might have sufficed. If the LOTR cast could do it, you could, too. 反正都是华纳。
It’s so beautiful I’m not gonna let James Corden ruin it.

真的有一种跟他们共同经历了十年的感觉。
大力点赞妹妹和卷白毛妹子与碇和美里对枪的那段戏，没搞什么美式的政治正确原谅戏码，大家都是归于现实、取得谅解。
请全程准备好纸巾盒... It’s good to know, as time goes by, something never changes.
演员间还是挺尴尬的，观众在弹幕里回忆的是看老友记里自己的青春
再见了，所有的EVA。再见了，曾经胆小怯懦的碇真嗣。再见了，温柔又神秘的渚薰。再见了，敢做敢当的明日香。再见了，一直默默守候的绫波丽。再见了，可爱的真希波。再见了，新世纪福音战士。
要怀旧给你怀旧，要情怀给你情怀，要幕后给你幕后，要名场面给你名场面，要瓜给你瓜，作为粉丝简直不能要求更多了。用了17年时间让这6个人聚首，岁月已经改变了他们容貌，作为粉丝的我却还总是通过一遍遍重温《老友记》以为自己还是少年。2021年5月观影
EVA的故事在我心里早已完结，再多的续作也只是补充和番外，无法撼动其本体。哪怕情节已经模糊，留下的都是感觉和理念。更多的选择也好，变了或是不变也好，完整或者完满也好，都只是无限宇宙的一种可能性了，无论是哪种结尾都是世界与人脑在两端之间的某一点的呈现而已。真正重要的也只是这个故事这些人物这些形象这堆符号恰好在因缘际会之下出现在了一起，产生了熵的极大聚合。WYT
Cuz we'll be there for each other. ❤️
没想到是从Janice出现开始哭晕，“I had a major crush on Jen”
怎么说呢？往“史诗巨作”方向做的意图是很明显的，“终”也是真的终了。

真的就是一个访谈节目而已，当然看到这六个人时隔17年重聚，还是颇为感慨。时间带走了他们青春的容貌，但还好没带走妙语连珠的台词和温馨美好的回忆。
额，看的我好尴尬啊。抢答题的时候，钱德勒总是很老态，感觉“重聚”或者幕后分享，真的简单“分享”就好。
