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.
And perhaps one day, we will live truly peacefully side by side.
整个风格和叙事还是偏低幼，母爱与和谐，对于小朋友来说还是非常合适的。
破译魔法的咒语是孩子回到母亲身边，在生与死的关头再大的误会也会被爱化解。巨魔母亲为了不惊扰人类在地下长眠，巨魔为了回到母亲身边哪怕是被人类驱逐也不曾走远。但孩子终要长大，所以扔向山顶领略更大的世界，放手让她化解人类与巨魔间矛盾。无需时刻待在身边，只需要我呼唤你的时候，以叶寄情，用花寄语。
太美好了
以为城墙会被推倒，然而最后达成协议是一年允许进一次城。他们的母亲依然被困在地底下。是在讽刺人类自以为是的宽容吗？
前一个小时宛如一场瑰丽奇幻的梦，最后二十分钟被治愈了
作为儿童向电影是很优秀的，细腻于情感，叙事大体且流畅。
还是好可爱……😭以及最后我的乖女怎么长大了
3星半。正常套路，结尾很美好 喜欢长植物的巨魔！
进击的巨魔哈哈，故事设定还是挺感人的。山丘之王就微笑着站着等自己被人类干掉…而且是整个故事唯一死亡角色，真是最傻白甜的反派。山丘之王山洞的铃铛是谁挂的呢？可能篇幅不够了没有讲。有一幕希尔达喊了一声妈妈，两个妈妈都回头了挺暖心的。
我觉得沉睡在小城下的巨魔之母是大自然的隐喻，世间所有巨魔/生物都是她一人的孩子。大自然母亲醒来后发现身上的土地已住满了人类，她不忍心叨扰破坏，于是选择放任人类并就此长眠。
在这个一切仿佛都可垂手可得的幸福世界，人们失去了迫切的渴望，也就失去了表达，哎。
很治愈的一部电影，当音乐响起，所有山怪身上出现花花草草的时候，不自觉留下眼泪，这种感觉真好。
挺好看的 好喜欢我们的女宝 喜欢这个温暖的家庭
其实是很简单的爱与自然的故事，作者独有的画风和北欧风情的故事背景是吸引人之处。由于只看过第一季没看第二季所以电影的开头有些不知所措，有空就把第二季补完吧。
虽然从后半段到结尾的过度，及大高潮部分处理更需精细。
虽然前面的脸谱化和刻板印象和故作姿态和某些奇怪的理由设定给我看饱了，但后面山怪进村感受母爱还是给我整泪目了。只有大魔王受伤的世界达成了。
故事简单却温馨
She is guarding me all the time. Sometimes she hurts me a lot. But, she also entirely secures me. Mommy.
