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.
I can't believe she fell for the water
每一幕都偏离了我的预想，震惊程度堪比去年我心中的神作墨西哥电影《新秩序》
女主角总是一副哭丧脸，她把生活过成了一堆臭狗屎，不仅身患绝症，对母亲冷淡，男友对她冷淡。即便如此，内心深处的温情仍然促使她克隆了自己，希望克隆体代替自己继续生活。无论多么旁，人总是希望活下去的。愿所有负重前行的人都能坚持到最后，只要光明磊落地活着，受罪也是好的。
有点悲伤的故事，亲妈都希望复制体活着，本体还是太善良了。
但不变的事实竟然是，不管男友或者妈妈，都更喜欢满足自己需求的克隆体，甚至可以让本体去死，感觉是某种隐喻。
过程平淡 结局惊艳 耐人寻味！导演埋了很多小细节，让观众自己解谜！个人最喜欢的绝对是，结尾处的碎屏手机和在环岛逆向行驶的汽车
和天鹅挽歌一样的设定，但实在太一般了…在不符合技术设定的背景下实在看不下去。只要一口唾沫就能一小时生成一个完全一样的有机体，且带有自我意识。这在看起来完全是90年代的环境背景里怎么看都不可能。没有代入感的电影不是好电影
#Sundance2022# 很cult啊 结尾的死亡不错 发现前面是有铺垫的
之前有过相似的故事题材
或许在社会氛围和群像塑造上还得再下点功夫 至少让观众理解这荒诞麻木的架空社会
#Sundance2022# 很cult啊 结尾的死亡不错 发现前面是有铺垫的
倾向于 本体被毒死 活下来的是克隆人 最后的绝望是因为看到了本体生活的尽头而自己还要活着过下去
又商业 又文艺 两边表现都不太够 看着玩可以
克隆人完全成了原来的她，忍受着原来的一切。
下水道秘宗社团强酸猛袭践踏媒体，殡仪馆守灵人作死扑街，科学怪人大杀四方机器姬人性未泯，逗逼民兵枪自嗨被吸血鬼团灭，都市传说与邪典与残肢番茄酱的狂舞。影片的时代背景置于互联网猪突猛进的94-95年，但细品一下却也非常契合短视频平台制霸全球作死网红笑傲江湖的当下。（修改补发，也不知道是哪个字眼触动了赵匡胤的禁脔......）
有点出乎意料的精彩 最后是本体还是替身 想了一晚上
问题3，为啥警方找不到original的尸体呢？
未来世界无奇不有，当你为了生存下去要和你的复制体决斗时，你的心情将会怎样？肯定不美丽！肯定想千方百计杀了对方，这就是人的本性：为了活下去，啥都会去干！
克隆人完全成了原来的她，忍受着原来的一切。
知难而上的逆行
