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.
感谢电影 终于把一直想补但是只有盗摄的DEH给补上了 Broadway的音乐剧就是可以用最简单的故事传递最浅显的道理但总能让人感动 里面有首歌 Words fail 确实 音乐剧的歌曲力量真的比任何words都强大 我太爱musical了
故事是不错的，但是为啥要在歌舞剧里搞贴近现实感，故意的收音差，破音，跑音，吐词不清，可角色只要张嘴一唱歌，啥现实感都没了，因为哪个正常人说着说着就唱歌啊…所以，精修下就不够现实了么？找专业歌舞演员就不够现实了么？歌舞剧改编电影成功的都在戏剧和现实之间做到很好的切割，比如芝加哥的舞台设置。但是自从悲惨世界后，不少不开眼的导演就跑去找所谓真实感了，以为让演员唱的撕心裂肺到没气才是好的，可是歌舞剧本身就是超出现实的幻梦，用专业的歌喉和舞美打造精致的体验，所以我真想听真情实感的破音，我自己能去卡啦ok厅听一天，故事还比这个多…哦，对了，这倒霉电影还有sing along 版本，真就影院卡啦ok再就业呗
<中场休息之后>
感觉有点啰嗦？而且he looks too old for a high schooler? 不过message是好的吧……感觉更适合broadway
把封神的音乐剧拍成这样，剪辑转镜节奏比起剧场毫无增色，音乐和感染力更是不如剧场版。何必呢？
道理讲太满了，能不能给我们观众一点思考和回味的空间啊…
心理疾病是行骗的美妙外衣？什么叫发现骗人后的自我救赎？明明就是气急败坏。编头发的那位少数族裔也非常恶心，就是赤裸裸的吃人血馒头，脸皮比瑞典how dare you还厚。
远不如剧版，可能因为抱了太大期待其实还蛮失望的。抛开剧情故事本身的争议，改编成电影后的冲击力被削弱太多了。不过可能我的Ben Platt滤镜太厚，倒没觉得他演的高中生有什么问题。Broadway什么时候回来我太想再看音乐剧了！
Will I be found? ...
我喜欢fred！
看电影版依然还是很感动呜呜 dear evan hansen的歌太好听了 歌词太有力量了😢意外惊喜是Connor和后爹 真的太帅了哈哈哈哈 以及两位妈妈的角色 没想到唱歌都这么好听👍🏼ps 很喜欢Sam版本的主题曲
妈妈那段是全片高光时刻，甚至超越了you will be found,就是男女主感情线有点奇怪，不过那首我们试试吧表达的爱情理念很不错
Even when the dark comes crashing through, when you need a friend to carry you, when you broken on the ground, you will be found.
And I will always love you.
演技感人，今年音乐类型片垫底部分。
i didn't fall. i let go.
前天看的，心里很复杂。DEH的舞台版真的非常赞非常戳心，可是电影版却没什么特色，甚至戏剧冲突还比不上舞台版。当然Ben Platt是一如既往地稳，唱演都好，Connor我很心塞没选OBC原卡的Mike Faist小哥哥，他瘦瘦高高长卷发的形象更贴合角色，演技和唱功也都过关，唉。不过值得夸的还是有的，比如真相大白之后Evan主动去读Connor推荐的书去了解他，总算是弥补了一些遗憾吧，再次可惜这只Connor不是Mike小天使，呜呜呜。
卡司很不错，歌曲也都还动听，音乐剧没看过，就电影来说，片长稍微有点长，其实直到明白主角手臂伤也是因为自杀造成，才明白了那么一点。要是抑郁此类疾病真的可以容易治就好了（其实也不知道自己能坚持多久），有个能倾听和陪伴你的人是很好的，起码你会觉得生命中或许还有些意义！
电影问题实在有点多，甚至让我去怀疑原剧本身是否是一个好的故事，唯一能感动能称赞的只有音乐了，新加的几首歌也很好听特别是Connor那首a little closer，但是几首父母辈的歌，disappear全都删了就让所有除Evan以外的角色仿佛都变成像工具人一样扁平，最起码的用音乐和歌词推动剧情都做的很差。还有选角，在我这Ben是最好的Evan，但是他真的不适合演高中生了！尤其是这个造型简直high school stalker既视感，太出戏了，再加上导演没有找到音乐剧和电影之间的平衡，大量镜头特写显得更加诡异。
假如我没看过音乐剧会给电影五星。然而看过音乐剧的我只能给四星了，对于alana这个人物动机的改动扣一星，即使我很喜欢alana的歌—黑人小姑娘纯洁无暇，就是纯粹的热爱social work。以及电影省略了两首我特别喜欢的音乐剧歌曲(good for you, to break in a glove)，再扣半星—青春片里，成年人的愤怒不重要🤷🏻♀️。然后加半星给一个细节的细化“I feel the branch give away” 是字面解释还是隐喻呢。最后的最后，Ben Platt carry全片！
