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.
看得早 睡得香 对标谁不好对标燃野 新人脸盲一度以为张宥浩又来了 宽松给分了
纵使世界与我为敌，我也依然爱你。大概就是这感觉吧……中规中矩的一部lgbt片子
少年不懂爱
很简单的那种青春爱情片，画面风景挺美的，少数几个场景也比较有张力。但剧情仿佛有模板一样的套路，叙事推进略生涩像在看ppt...
Jamie的颜值穿搭声音好爱🥺
一般，最后俩人不应该再见面了，一个继续追求自由去旅行去交新的女友，另一个就在家相夫教子夜深人静时拿着明信片以泪洗面吧。
无法理解
宗教整体有点无聊，车里拉手蛮喜的，好几次接吻都内心os：啊喂！拜托你们不要这么光明正大！ 最后不婚不育显年轻嘞
这种信仰和爱人之间必须要背叛一个的典型txl归宿已经虐不到我了，只会把我气到
一般般。两人莫名其妙的爱上了还有分开的理由也一言难尽
同性恋加宗教多少有点老套，没想到国外同性青春片还在讨论这种情况。不过女主好看，勉强可以给个3星，
So now, pretty much every religion feels like a cult to me…
爱情最美好的时候永远是暧昧期，那种克制、欲望、向往……后半段有点俗套了，虽然现实。不过事实证明女人生孩子与否差别真的很大，不仅是导演刻意塑造的形象，反观周遭的人同样差异明显
三星半。但依然不妨碍它成为今年最强青春片的候选人。反对社会成见给予男性的枷锁和既定束缚这一中心表达亮眼而有诚意。男子花游队的成型是个喜剧套路式的误会，但后来的描写和表达都比较不错。
相爱的人总是很难在一起 至今如此…-I think about you all the time, about us, do you? -Everyday.
多一颗星打给背后的拥抱，女同片永远不可能he是吧🙃，自从看过《打开心世界》之后就没有任何结局可以再伤到我了🙃。喜欢Jamie大狗狗！！！但是我会被另一个女主气死！！！
。
“那里和我们想象的一样吗？”“你应该在那的”老套的剧情，又是从暧昧到在一起到向世俗低头再后悔怀恋，节奏比较慢，暧昧期长。一个无神论者和一个信仰宗教的，难道会适合在一起吗，人家杰米是为了泡妞才忍受枯燥的宗教活动。玛丽克选择结婚的理由什么天堂什么信仰，在不信教的我看来就是疯言疯语，无法理解。体验完大部分人的结婚生子还是怀恋以前的日子，人也变得憔悴，而且结婚还是玛丽克自己决定的。最后两人又见面，我一点也不看好，就让杰米独自美丽去吧，别想让杰米原谅你还帮你养孩子！
可是经书不会告诉我们，being normal才是此生最难捱的考验
同样是宗教禁忌之恋，与《违命》相比更喜欢这部的细腻，影院那场戏张力很强恰到好处，看的人心跳加速。
