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.
集中各種商業片元素拍了一部……你說啥就是啥吧。
不知道是不是威廉达福给我的错觉，怎么施拉德到这一部变得有点像费拉拉。
自我救赎和自我毁灭，保罗·施拉德挚爱的母题
Final week 复习作死看的电影// 看了小说一定会看电影的人就是我/// 蛮甜的
我 土狗 我 爱看【但还是前半段比较有意思就是了】
hmmmmm，主角翻脸不认人能力一流，比过家家还模式化
一把年纪了，看这样的爱情喜剧确实是没有啥感觉了。剧情一般，台词设计还是很不错的，很有挑逗意味。一部普通的爱情电影被定义为R级，实际上却啥也没有，可见台词有多么的dirty……三星！
拍得煞有介事，但缺乏直指人心的力量。
这片子唯一的作用就是为我科普了不同颜色的蓝色衬衫。
男女主的化学反应真是没得说。好久没看过这种俗得我很喜欢的电影了。
主演这两人火花是真的chuachuachua剧情太拉了
真的好像晋江里那些言情小说，又俗套又尴尬但是挺甜。
总的来说，就是没什么卵的说服力，爱情片儿没说服力就很假啦，看看家居布置和穿搭尚可。
保罗·施拉德新作，又一场救赎的幻灭。与[出租车司机][第一归正会]均以历经战争PTSD的孤绝男子为主角。奥斯卡·伊萨克演得恰到好处，与布列松的“模特”实而并不相同，这位与瑞士传说中民族英雄威廉·退尔同名的算牌天才始终散放着一种冷淡、神秘、既谦和清心又压抑暴戾的气场，而非被掏空所有情感的木头人。当然，本片与老布的多部电影确有相似之处——旁白使用和独自写日记（包含罪疚与神学追问）的场景契如[乡村牧师日记]，省略关键场景&杀戮时反高潮的画外空间运用似[钱]，探监时的两手相触收尾致敬[扒手]。1.66:1的日常窄画幅与梦魇中的VR/鱼眼宽银幕对比鲜明，凸显刑讯创伤给人带来张牙舞爪扭曲畸变的后遗症。迷离夜彩灯的旋转叠化段落非常绚幻。为所有家具包装捆绑上白布的仪式颇有象征性。这里的赌牌既精明克制，又是一种自我放逐。（8.3/10）
男女主之间的火花绝了，好久没看到这么标准苏的男主了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈甜得我哇哇叫。但是剧情上短板很明显，婚礼那段很仓促，人物描写也很潦草，配角都是工具人。
以后不看六点多分的电影了，后半段全靠快进，也没看进去，终于全剧终
哈哈哈欧美甜文。绿瞳孔、绿裙子、绿墙还挺巧妙的。
以后不看六点多分的电影了，后半段全靠快进，也没看进去，终于全剧终
好一出浓郁节日氛围的小调，TiTa TiTa…
