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.
硬核好莱坞左派拍出来的两年目睹之怪现状，充斥着真挚的傲慢和愤怒。虽然还是挺好看的，但问题就是战斗性和幽默感本来就不太兼容。
很久没有看到能够blow my fucking mind商业大片了，众星云集的同时感觉大家在一起玩的也挺开心的，仿佛抛开了所有束缚并呈现出如此纯粹且粗暴的政治寓言，大数据时代下的阶级语言所引发的荒唐与嘲讽，存在还是毁灭也再一次被推向人类终极话题的风口浪尖。将不同阶级与政治意识形态下的交流思维表现出极端裸露下的病态发展，所摩擦出的各种火花令人捧腹同时也细思极恐，人类的命运暴露在台面上供他们博弈，彗星的灭绝威胁变成了最大利益化的共同体。抬头即上帝在赋予预言为现实，不要抬头是脚踏实地的虚无主义，一切试图将「存在」抹除的精致肉体都将被撕烂与吞噬，而将爱保留在灵魂深处的胴体才是最永恒的感知体，而所有被毁灭的众生也从来不曾被遗忘。
三星半。挺有意思的，看看我们这个乱糟糟的世界吧，或许毁灭了也不怎么可惜……小李真的莱纳德附体，老婆是凯温成名电影的女同对象，疯狂抽泣回归霍华德休斯，甚至和另一位cate梅开二度。两个澳洲女人之间的battle也挺有意思……🍵在新作中真的形销骨立………地球最后的夜晚，我的ex男神和现在的心头好在一起。彩蛋超级多！请看到最后！妈宝男疑成最后赢家！
人類文明在這個時代就是一個笑話～哈哈哈，哈哈哈，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
临近结局时我突然想到了《火星救援》和《死在火星上》，突然希望当时的火星之上还有个马克达蒙（不是）和唐跃。但结局又是如此………《银河系漫游指南》，就像你看着海豚从海里飞升一般的荒诞，又会充满蜜汁感动：陨石真美啊，草，人类果然还是毁灭吧。
亚当麦凯竟然拍了一部《2021去死！》，跟年初那部网飞恶搞片一样啊，聚焦当下美国的分裂，将各种社会问题集中于本片展现，点子非常好笑，但是合起来就很散，属于还不错的段子电影
22_014。讽刺意味很浓了，但两个半小时实在是有点太长，出来的成品有点不太好笑之余也不及吸引人接着看下去。另外，全地球的人一起死亡，倒是件很幸福的事呢
一气呵成 要啥有啥 结尾略俗但用笑点科幻弥补 教科书
又见甜茶，大表姐好久不见。反讽既直白又粗暴，但也正是《不要抬头》最好笑的地方。 / 2022.1.7 家
表面是讽刺喜剧，内核是现实悲剧。经历了全球疫情灾难，我们应该何去何从，政客、资本家、媒体人、学者粉墨登场、各展嘴脸，人们仍然不会思考，而是继续一场末日狂欢。还是那句话，好的喜剧内核是悲剧。
放弃思考的电影，放弃思考的时代，几乎是属于“故意犯错”的电影（指电影层面，非内容层面），甚至从一开始就没有想让人类得救。有近几年主流电影里最令人印象深刻的剪辑——嘲讽的、变幻的、跳脱的、宏大的、疯狂的、感性的，但从来都不是理性的。
我有一个同事的口头禅是：We're all gonna die.然而，我另一个同时的口头禅是：It's all gonna be fine. 年度前五！
3.5. Didn't quite get the overwhelming hate this film got. The satire here is not particularly intelligent nor incisive, but that seems fitting when reality is more mundanely grotesque than fiction: it's almost like the real world does not deserve to be treated in a more aesthetically profound manner. The sense of helpless anger and disbelief at the state of the world is quite genuine, and there are emotional moments that work quite well. It's a typically white and star-studded mainstream film, and that's okay.
分两次看完的。印象最深的是那个将军去茶水间拿了水和零食然后charge他们几个一人10刀，太讽刺了，因为谁会想到一个将军会利用10刀和人玩权力的游戏呢？甜茶的演技我喜欢！大表姐的演技我也喜欢！小李演一个畏畏缩缩的大学教授竟然没有大亨味儿了，虽然中间一度又让他做大亨了。
有许多场景我在当下经常见到，比如，算法能知道你未来数月身体上的毛病，遇到丧事可以开公益演唱会唱唱歌鼓舞人心，又比如观点分裂阶级分裂，即使大灾当前 人们依然争吵不休。讽刺力MAX
m21317：人类应该要关注地球，关注上帝馈赠的太阳系宜居带。反观这两年，人类在自然面前力量微弱，宇宙面前微乎其微。精英们(马斯克)在开始着探索逃离，平民就做斯多葛躺吧。(刚开始提到卡尔萨根)
是喜剧吗？感觉挺现实的。。。现实何尝不是这么荒诞！
1、嗯，讽刺严肃问题娱乐化、美丽国的zz闹剧。不过还是不如拜伦科恩贱。
挺有意思，没想到22年又看到明显的黑色幽默作品。
耐飞独家发行的电影至今为止的NO.1。留得下来的杰作。
