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.
正常三星水准（或者三星半），然而还算能带入主角，再加上结尾cast有特殊滚动背景制作，再加一星吧=-=
开头挺有意思的，科技拉近了物理距离，但拉远了感情距离，后面就纯套路了
20世纪影业仿迪士尼，互联网＋AI终端，小儿科还有些扯淡。★★☆/5.9
Are you my friend, Barney? 哭成鬼了
智慧、克制却又不乏浪漫的气息。
The name…jahahahahah
关于青春与成长得故事，也有着大家庭、大院类似的氛围，对女孩子和偶像的憧憬，对未来的迷茫…换个背景换幅容貌就是我们90年代的记忆。被关起来的小姨像是西西里美丽传说，又一个制造疯女人的情节…最后结尾还是有点中二，在大家的目光中离场走向自己的未来…这男孩也太像甜茶了~树下的家庭聚会也让人想到CMBYN里的情节~
前半部分家庭黑色喜剧，后半部分少年成长，虚构与现实交织恰似回忆本身，索伦蒂诺的自传体电影整体显得有些无趣，但也有有趣的地方，主要集中在人物和对白上，镜头和配乐都非常索伦蒂诺，他是真的好爱费里尼，各种意义上。
有点类似《西西里的美丽传说》，但是差太多了。开始还以为是个马拉多纳的传记片。
这次感觉不像前两次那么理解困难，不知道是因为足球还是主人公的黑色卷发加衬衫总能让我联想到另一个意大利的夏天。
能看到强烈的自传性，故事上有深刻的《阿玛柯德》的影子，保罗索伦蒂诺捕捉成长的诗意的功力可称了得，"上帝之手"被挪用为一种神秘学符号，推动少年迎接蜕变走向未来。
Napoli,Maradona,Italian women,Italian men,films,personal expression...and big tits
▫️50分吧…看的过程感动一点点，烦躁很多多…随意下个饭凑合了。处处都有东拼西凑的影子，学生人均一个电子宠物来彰显身份这种设定真是人间噩梦，而且整个学校只有1人没钱买电子鸡是不是也太夸张了一点？
那不勒斯的乡愁，疫情期间看，就是全世界的乡愁。
机器人已经代替手机成为孩子们社交和连接的基本工具，但巴尼的这台却因为故障变得行为异常。《天赐灵机》讲得就是巴尼与故障机器人间友谊的故事。
那不勒斯人一言不合跳下水，下水的人，都没有再上岸了吧
電子產品面世後，我們樂於從社交平台獲取朋友最新的動向、心情、愛好，社交平台隔閡了社交距離，為何我們要透過社交平台才能了解一個人？我們常以為能從社交平台真正了解一個人，然而許多隱藏在相片背後的故事，我們又該如何解讀？
至少学学迪士尼是如何以爱意和包容的目光打量它创造出的那些异类吧。
8。导演的私语，前半段一度怀疑自己是不是缺乏欣赏力，后半段渐入佳境几个场面的镜头非常有感觉，回不去，走不出的故乡。
私密的成长故事，只是切入点不断的跳换，情绪难以延续，当然这样的敏感和贪婪会让影片的私密性更强。意大利真是拥有好多漂亮的海岸风景和古典气质的城市景观。
