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.
33分28秒的中国地图是红色的，但是台湾不是。可是电影只是电影而已，我真的希望中国能拍出来越来越多真正好的电影，去输出文化，去battle，而不是圈地自萌，割韭菜。
每一件事情都让人绝望，阴阳怪气火力全开也只是在绝望中的唯一应对方式了，唉，2020糟透了，2021也很烂，2022也不会好……
跟《向上看》比说不上非常优秀，但也够聪明，用来打发无聊又莫名焦虑的一个半小时是值得的
The first unnecessary man to be in space; submission accomplished;Diane Morgan竟然是最正常的哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，比不要抬头强点，毕竟这个是美国2021的写真。
一波接一波地讽刺，看起来太爽了。而且明明是针对他们自己，有的地方却让我为我们自惭形秽。我为我的自惭形秽而自惭形秽，因为我能做什么呢？我也是受害者而已。
这年头只要看一部剧，能吃的东西就少一种… “没有人从2020年中涨一点教训”
又是打着字母幌子的小清新片，涉嫌欺诈，相当于举着重庆火锅的招牌贩卖清汤挂面，骗骗小孩子还是可以的。
其中一个角色是影射那个福克斯女主播，什么法官吗
很多镜头都在反复出现反复用，至于观点，我不关心别人怎么看、怎么说，你们反应过度了
人们没有从2020得到教训，此片可以结合《Don't look up》一起观看。
笑不活了 全程只有“阿梅利卡要完蛋了“的感觉 可惜没有放拜登上飞机摔跤和会议拉裤子的部分😊
今年这版更多的是讲美国的社会现象。不过还是很适合以这部作为自己今年在豆瓣的最后一个标记，来表达自己对于今年的心情：fucking 2021
哈哈哈哈哈哈太甩了！！！ 为什么他们那么容易生气。为什么他们那么坚定认为自己绝对正确。为什么他们能为了捍卫自己的观点付诸武力。
去年刚出的时候感觉蛮新颖挺好玩，但今年在炒一次冷饭就明显觉得无聊了~
但是说真的，网飞的讽刺不过是因为讽刺可以赚钱
精彩！比don't look up好看的多。现实总是如此黑暗。
前女友的戏份毫无必要 最后三十分钟也太拖沓了…… 除了徐贤和小狗 属于是顶级诈骗了👊
果然是女性导演的作品，才能展现出这么舒服的效果。男主选得太好了，就是狗狗本身。
Not so funny. Quick recap.
