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.
小成本 讲述一个异乎寻常的神奇罪案 开端貌似两个倒霉蛋的逃亡 到最后谁是正方 谁是反派 导演讲述南非当年的社会 也许电影要讲的东西更多
影片所依据的真实事件，发生在1980年1月25日的南非。十年后曼德拉才出狱。
你们自由的代价太大了！
曼德拉是南非黑人的英雄，不是南非的英雄。

前半段的抗争成色，在类型片范畴里可圈可点，节奏把控也凌厉。但是，从司法部长女儿一番所谓同理心表达、以及黑白混血女的“真情流露”，这种老套的政zhi正确和道德正确植入，让整个片子立即坠入烂尾深渊。
纯从教室跳下去的场面，果然不管是剧还是电影都很有冲击性…
真是一个宝藏女孩！
自由的代价如此昂贵，黑人白人都不乏优秀儿女
看完一段时间完全想不起来剧情了，大概是关于成长吧，发生在高中生身上一切都合理
这个话题讨论了这么多次，又解决什么问题了？
What's the price of freedom? Everything. Sometimes Freedom costs too much. 然而，我们一往无前。
只有女主受伤的世界达成了(嘛……
结尾很奇妙的升华了主题，爱真的是美好的不分性别的情感。遗憾，谎言，背叛，又或是死亡，好青春啊。
最后那下子真的没必要，女主管死就更没必要了，但是又是真实历史改编也只能如此，蝴蝶效应，解救曼德拉。
山田杏奈很可爱，描写人物心理还是很细腻的
我记得🇿🇦是唯一一个有三个首都德国家吧ᥬ🌝᭄
自由的代价，是一切。 RIP Silverton Trio
自由的代价是一切。
Everything.
