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.
这样有型，这样酷，死去的这样平静，哪一个这样都是我羡慕的。
（不是否定企划本身）我可能更想看无灾无病的普通物语。
就完全没拍出那个劲儿和味道。兰普林恐成全片唯一亮点。演孙子的演员表现力太差了。
「我会好好活下去，毕竟人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活。」
电影后半部分靠尿液分辨衰竭程度，而杜松子酒的一大功能就是利尿，真正喝酒的会兑水么，这只是对死亡的另一种自救另一种恐惧
印象最深刻的是还书时的那句台词为“こめん 遅くなりました。”翻译一下是“不好意思来晚了”。字面意思是逾期还书了抱歉，但是同时也代表着不好意思这么晚才意识到这些爱与美好。其实救赎或许一直都在，其实你没有被全世界所忽视所抛弃，或许那些牵绊都在，只是被你忘记掉罢了。管理员的出现太频繁有点减分w
人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活，日本这种淡淡的情绪我还蛮喜欢。
1感冒成肺炎自然死亡？
-我已认不出你苍老的样子
还行 无聊可以看 但大麻酒精慢性自杀 用这种看似酷的东西讲珍爱生命 活出自我的话 未免有点讽刺
看到最后半小时:奶奶跟孙子坦白弄坏腿跟他弄坏车一样只是因为她想引起家人关注，三代人有着三代人各自的烦恼与经历，每个人做决定的时候也许或多或少会忽略掉身边人的感受，沟通是多么重要，无论什么年龄都会渴望家庭的温暖，可也不排除像我这样觉得安于现状是最舒服的，最后一程哪需要什么固定模式，生不择日，死亦如此
中岛老师演技真的有进步诶，但这个头型我真的不可，女主就……算了，不如看配角，b太和由纪都棒棒！从剧情到各方面都土土的，放到纯爱类里面都只能算中等偏下，死亡调色过曝滤镜，（人就算了但）樱花的美完全没有表现出来啊这铺天盖地的五毛特效令人心梗…
享受活着的时间，尽量做一个cool guy吧😌
挺好看的，有几个画面第一次get到日系风格男子的美
一开始我的心情是 她好酷 我希望我在她那样的年纪也可以有那样的阅历和money 后来就是 她的一生应该算圆满了吧
Drinking is a good thing I love very much✌️
她酗酒揍孙子开大枪抽大麻但她是个酷奶奶，她藏在毒舌背后对生命的热情也点燃了孙子这枚废柴青年的心，一老一小在火堆前相拥而舞，人人都爱日落可她偏爱日出🌅“你还有什么期待？下一次的怦然心动”

还行吧，比起《花束般的恋爱》还是要弱一些。毕竟这种病，很从恋人是碰不到的，能找到共鸣的不多。
每一段不被提及的人生，可能充斥着伤痛而必须要深埋地下，如同那些无以言明的爱一样。拿Half Gin with half water当水喝的老太太，成功地调起了我的胃口，大下午的就给自己整了杯highball🥃
