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.
首先，它是个RNA病毒，煞笔。其次，别再让老妈演这个烂极拔角色了。
韩版《五十度灰》，没那么高级奢侈，办公室恋情更接地气，几处小情趣拿捏的很到位，徐贤是最大亮点，整体还是偏偶像剧。至于爱情的公平理论，每人的尺度不尽相同。6
“No wonder America decided not to have a president for a while, they just got this little old caretaker man in to keep things going until they could work out what to do next.”
这是要做成系列了吗，如果能有中国版的death to 2021就更好了。
其中一个角色是影射那个福克斯女主播，什么法官吗
只能说这个OL服装还不错，遇到同样“性”趣的妹子也是运气好
笑死我了，这老美自黑都要成年度惯例了是吗。虽然2021跟2020相比都很糟心，但2022开年的时候笑一笑，总是对过去的一年有个交待嘛
旁观者的视角很容易让人产生“唯我清醒”的感觉...看懂了讽刺又怎么样呢，继续摆烂吧。
事实再次证明，2021也是个倒霉的年头。而且更加悲哀的是，在可以预见的未来，2022也只是2020too而已。
2021年证明，我们并没有从2020年吸取教训。
2021和2020的关系就像正片和前传，希望明年千万不要再有续集了！！
還是很英式幽默 // what we learnt in 2021 is we learnt nothing from 2020
挺有趣的。真实资料+戏谑戏剧，虚实结合！不过更有趣的是，真实情况下的2021，并没有比镜头前的夸张景象减少一丝疯狂！反智的人还真是不少。。
精彩！比don't look up好看的多。现实总是如此黑暗。
...Prince woke + the duchess of me-me-me..
对于3月到5月生活在上海的中国公民，这部电影实在太轻飘飘了
结合dont look up会有很无奈的感觉 笑完觉得好悲伤就是说 世界还是在分裂着 我觉得我笑的不应该 但也没办法
其实就是平时观察者网、tweeter上的那些破事。十年？二十年？届时再看可能更有意义。
亚洲体系下的《五十度灰》，有一种亲近的羞耻度。看似是BDSM的外衣，但其实能看出女导演对权利与性的解构。在职场中屡受男性压迫的智宥，成为BD关系中的“上位者”，享有支配权；而为奴的智厚，其实是将两性关系倒置，并推向平等的一个工具（划分在女性集团内）。权利阶级与两性关系在某种性爱嗜好里互文，插入与被插入、支配与被支配被人为混乱。利用现有的性别二元制打造这样一部不明觉厉的电影，影片中正常与否，变态与否，都在警示我们会成为小众，并积极地引向平等。
各种对美国的反讽。2021虽然很乱，但应该不是人类历史上重要的一年。
