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.
我们从小被成功学教育要赢，要竞争，要升职加薪走向人生巅峰，却没有失败学教我们，如何面对输，如何面对人生的不如意。这部电影就是一部失败学，或者说是平凡学，教失意者者如何与失意人生自洽，教普通人如何与普通生活和解。年少时总想着给人生找点儿意义，人到中年，以及这不寻常的2020年，让我懂得，好好活着，与生活发生连接，这本生就是意义。
3.5。凡尔赛动画，男主体验了得尝所愿，享受了人生巅峰，回头规劝大家平平淡淡才是真，能活着就是美好。？？？
类型是喜剧，但在想要深度的情境下显得不合时宜。如果同样的表达，拍成一部严肃的正剧，我相信我会喜欢。我也不太喜欢这些角色，除了线条人。
——🍅97%🍿️91%——可以有目标，但是没必要。
尊重演职人员，把所有人都放在了片头。原著居然是罗贯中？？！最终结束于“师傅”…
建议豆瓣可以增加一个打分功能：最高可以给影片打六分，每年有且只有一次可以给影片打六分。这是今年我看的第一部电影，但我想打六分。
大银幕上重温，以现在视角看，都不像一部电影，主线弱，主角没有成长。切成几集短片更合适吧。
抑郁的一个原因可能就是觉得普通日常不能算火花，然后就成了那些一身黑的失落灵魂。可怎么才能让自己真的觉得抬头看看天就很快乐呢？
看哭了。所有人都在教你做人，所有事都在找寻意义，所有道路都要通往一个目标，所有标签都在试图定义你，只有皮克斯在告诉你，梦想不重要，意义不重要，庸庸碌碌或是功成名就都不重要。宇宙太大，地球太小；梦想太重，生命太轻。李安说，我已经见过大海了，我不能假装没有见过。但是这部动画片告诉你，如果你还没见过大海，去见见看吧，或许还不错；但你不想见的话，家门口的小溪其实也很美。2020年末，皮克斯用一部动画疗愈所有人，摸摸大家的头，说你们这些还没有找到Spark的人呐，你们都辛苦了，努力很重要，但是不加油也没关系哦，切勿贪图意义，存在即是风景。
在LFF。好像充满玄学但其实没说什么的故事，结论就是即使你找到了梦想工作其实还是一个社畜，没办法只能好好活着咯（x但还是赚足我眼泪。槭树果实飞落的那些秋天街头瞬间，22和妈妈对话瞬间，就像是我，突然想家。btw Jerry和Terry要是毕加索活着不会搞侵权吗……？
袁公和蛋生。天庭和朝廷。平民活得卑微无力，妖精骗的风生水起。
六星
坦然接受自己即将平庸的一生，尽情享受每一分钟
是一群由衷快乐的创作者的作品。小时候实在是太怕那个老狐狸精了吓得我没看完。
小鱼：我只是水里，不是大海呀。
第一口蛋糕的滋味 第一件玩具带来的安慰 太阳下山 冰淇淋流泪 从头到尾 忘记了谁 从头到尾 有没有荒废
所以生命最大的意义就是活着，不一定是到达哪里
这碗虚无的美式鸡汤真的喝不下去…人生有轻松快乐，但大部分时间确实很难。只倚在门口看风景，不把自己变牛逼的人生没有意义。
我好惊讶这个电影的每一句说教每一滴鸡汤都在我雷区上疯狂蹦迪，这就好像大家在2020这种年份里安慰自己“能活着就好！”一样
是我眼花了吗？动画片也要搞个有色皮肤，才能上映？
