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.
二十几年的柯南迷，不会因为没给涉谷装下水道、人类极限挑战之跳直升飞机之类的剧情影响的（笑），个人感觉纯黑噩梦以来最好看的一部了，有泪点有笑点，犯人够psycho，人物情感够丰富，白石声优也够格，柯南剧场版可能早以不再是推理的集大成，但永远是每年4月的约定和盼头，期待2023！
2022/04/28 锦系町 Toho：第一次在日本看柯南剧场版，从98年到现在，历史性的一刻啊
藤原基央啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊
Everything just exploded. I am not fine. It's fucked.
具有强迷惑性的概念匹配——假想父亲对照失职母亲、城市氛围映衬人物境遇、大小演员的成熟表演方法与紧密对白节奏形成代际对抗，在欲扬先抑中水到渠成，交付某种普世且“当下”的亲密关系。So Boring！感觉当代好莱坞作者把力气全部用在了如何不声不响地掩饰说教，让作品的爹味显得没那么冲。
未来又是什么，你想成为什么样的人，和孩子交流这么深的话题可以吗？
I hate children.小孩子确实是一种随心所欲、不讲道理的生物。但是正是这种真实撕开了成人世界的虚伪，刺痛了我，孩子不会按照世界要求她们的样子生长。做母亲的责任太大，好在我不需要。小朋友的演技真好，对着华金都不输。
看完有一点难过 不顺意的人 在人生任一阶段都可能重新体验“当小孩”的过程
已经是近几年来最有趣的一部了，只是小兰戏份依旧可以但是不必要…别的就是安室透实在是装x成性，看得我在电影院会笑出声的程度。。。
失去母亲 失去恋人 等于失去依恋
C+. 像小学刚教记叙文时写的那种看似情感充沛实则死板乏味的《我的爸妈》。每个情节转折和技术处理都落在意料之中，足见成品有多么无趣。结尾很好，也再次印证了，记忆永远是最具情感力量的命题。2022.1.27 Gaumont Parnasse
（顺便被种草了《来自星星的孩子》，以及华金又一次帅到我🤤）
很现代的影像风格和剪辑，却讲了一个传统的家庭的故事。叔叔在照顾侄子时完成与母亲、妹妹的和解，喜欢声音采访这个设定，将「聆听」这一关键词自然而然地结合起来。凤凰叔的表演一如即往的稳定。
黑白电影，很有质感。故事很细腻，娓娓道来，很生活，很喜欢这种叙事方式。最惊艳的是，人家国家的小朋友的思想深度和语言表达水平之强令人赞叹，我还是小朋友的时候应该只会看动画片和玩泥巴。生活挺不容易的，很多人都是一身伤，敏感的，总有泪崩和失落，还有崩溃的瞬间。为人父母不容易，孩子健康成长也不容易。特别写实，所以也特别让人共鸣吧。越看到后面越感动，涉及到很多内核，值得仔细回味。
可孩子不是这样的。每个群体都不是这样的。抹平个体差异展现某种群貌也罢，但为了达成特定目的而去预设一个结果，预设他们的面貌，不就是把他们当做表达的工具吗？
最后，它有我所有看过的作品中最吸引人的片尾。完毕。
近年最佳！动作戏看的真的爽，明年希望揭秘琴酒的过往，他是怎么成为杀手的
充满了哲思的童言童语，学会倾听去化解家庭关系的摩擦与代际，黑白影调特别纯粹，镜头下的美帝竟有欧陆的美，小演员很出彩，文艺独立电影的调调。
Everything just exploded. I am not fine. It's fucked.
我会很肯定地告诉他：还是会去的！
