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.
亲情和爱情都让人感动。或许家人之间最难释怀，总是憋在自己的心理，总是以为为对方好，但就会错过很多。家人、亲情真的有时候比爱情还让人心痛。
影片中两个场景，足以五星好评！更何况本尼的演技令人折服！影片已然讲出了人生的真谛，人生本是不幸，我们把美好的折射出来，即可！
不明白男主的感情线为啥有，看来很多人的软肋是姐姐。这个爸爸我太可以了，制服太帅！哎，啥时候能有个这样的男朋友呢
本质是一个艺术家的爱情故事。最常见的元素都有：精神分裂、天才/天赋、一见钟情等等。在中国的流行大概和现在爱猫人士满大街有关吧…原来一直到19世纪，英国社会还没有将猫普遍地作为宠物呀
爸爸和儿子都不要再恨自己了
7分。英国著名插画家路易斯·韦恩的故事。古怪的插画家，别人画狗，他偏画猫。娶了地位“低下”的家庭教师，而且妻子还比他大好多岁。他和妻子的幸福小日子没过几年，妻子生病去世。家里六个姐妹都嫁不出去，他也再未娶妻，一直养着六姐妹。虽然画猫成名却入不敷出，生活贫穷，更因为怀念妻子而变得郁郁寡欢、十分痛苦。晚年似乎有些精神问题，笔下的猫变得非常奇特。总的来说并不是“激情人生”，除了绘画的时候，更多的是抑郁。服装不错，有的画面很美。
以上, 俺家美短+英短都有
男主演的不像十几岁，没有少年感。
说教太多而画猫的部分实在太少。大篇幅讲了画家的家庭背景，但并看不出他为什么钟爱拟人化猫这一创作主题。所有画猫的过程都一带而过。
虽然不成熟的地方不少，但我依然认为导演是个超级妙的人。他的《那些花儿》是我最喜欢的剧之一。世界上的人分为猫系人和犬系人，猫系人看这片多少会有点心有戚戚焉吧。
韦恩世界的猫猫实在太有感染力了，影片结束了放映的猫猫作品，值得欣赏一番🌝
猫的信使。猫是他黑暗世界出现的光亮，是他与世界沟通的渠道。
期待挺大的，但是故事不是讲的很好，感觉导演既想描述主人公的爱情又想表现他和猫的关系
7分。爱猫人士的奇幻之旅，各种滤镜让电影美轮美奂，不少画面都迫于油画风格，维多利亚风看得人心醉。但可惜相比于画面，故事上就有些弱了，作为人物传记，故事并没有深入挖掘主角的气质，总觉得太过肤浅了。感觉导演是希望拍出那种疏离感和孤独感，但过于明亮的气氛色彩让他的努力有些落空了。本尼的表演只能算一般，设置上有点像爱迪生或者图灵的味道，这一类有缺陷的天才角色他演的有些太多了吧？？
当然会想到和喵星人相关的作品
想表达的内容太多 边缘情节太多太细 纯娱乐观看。
故事情节很好，穿插的反转个人认为特别好，总之很喜欢这部电影，五星！！！
7分。姐姐的形象刻画的很好，我觉得结局是和姐姐在火车上结束更好，机场和允儿那段有点多余了。
最后，还是“爱”最动情最伟大最深远。
还是用哪一套天才必精神病的监狱逻辑在建构，还是用二维平面的社会人来揣度三维世界天才说你看吧，那是他们有病。原型人物的画作真实很棒。
