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.
真的好喜欢这种近乎白描的拍法，不需要啥精巧的剪辑和抓马的剧情，主角一开口，画面里的每个细节都仿佛在跟着主角一同诉说，熠熠生辉。跟着主角一起将记忆碎片一同拾起拼凑的观感确实跟花束般的恋爱很不一样，今年十佳
白天看友邻写的短评太动人，晚上忍不住火速下载看了，没想到太伤了……太特么伤了……花束般的恋爱还有点凑标注点的可疑，这部真的就……太难过了……彼此有过感情的高光，只是不知道那是高光，一转眼大家都从人生上走开了，回头也没有用😭
当然，必须插一句，心目中目前观感最好的倒叙故事，还得是岸西的『亲密』。
导演讲故事的手法妙啊 看了两遍才看懂 短评好多拿这部和花束比较的 对于花束的男女主的结局完全不意外 在我看来麦的缺点太明显了 娟和麦两个人很好的证明了就算兴趣爱好高度重合 对于人生的设想不同也没办法走在一起 不过他俩的故事还是挺童话的 然而对于这部的男女主就很遗憾 明明爱的很平淡分开也很平淡 但就是很不是滋味 水族馆和出租车的两段拍得很浪漫 给我看哭了都 送礼物的片段也很可爱
磐石方且厚，可以卒千年；蒲苇一时纫，便作旦夕间。
3.5 片名简直是惊艳到我 太喜欢这种风格的翻译了🥲其他我倒是感觉恋爱起来不尽相同 这两人还是适合分手吧

剪辑手法上有几个点觉得还不错，舞台直射灯光接汽车大灯灯光，乘客和司机的对话接电视里演员的对话。
女主声音太出戏了。近年来同题材电影还是最喜欢行定勋的《剧场》。主题曲确实很赞。
心里默默为他庆祝生日
想生孩子的梦想实现了，求婚只是真心的戏言，每个月都在等待的奇迹，真真切切存在过。
不只是稍微想起一些的碎片。每次热烈过后的消失，留下的都是夜以继日的幻灯片，无论跨越了多长时间。以及，好想当一个打工人生活。
太好看了，这种剪辑，这种叙事，没想到花束这种电影之后又开启了一片天，哈哈，谈恋爱干嘛要在一起啊，就是用来回忆的啊～～～～真好～好爱女主😋

不像《花束》 除了故事看起来相像外 叙述的手法都截然不同 更像《爱情是什么》一点 不过作者通过前任来回忆这个点还挺有意思的

倒序很好，但是日历上标个年份犯法吗？
我大半夜说就去逛逛奥森吧他说好呀
时间慢慢回溯，情感越发激烈，反过来亦然...看到抱着宝宝出来的的男士时，真的好无奈。
确实会想跟《花束》做对比
