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.
“不可能事事都顺你心意啊”
以后不感兴趣的电影还是不要看了，70年代真的挺无聊的，剧情，人物，感情，都很无聊
【6.5=】难得找回了几年前的一点欢乐。制作组就像后复联时代的漫威，一边说着要推陈出新一边又不舍老角色的大腿，甚至一些有意思的小设定还以另一种形式继承了下来。但除了主角团的戏份差距外，整个故事的结构也相当不平衡。90分钟的时长还是承载不下这么多内容，一通赶之后依然只能机械降神。不过值得表扬的是，终于塞了几个看起来有点现实影子的角色，起码让这个世界观不是那么浮于幻想。虽说只是新玩具的推广品，但是横向对比同年从主题到故事都同样陈旧的《夏日友晴天》，似乎也没有太差劲，起码马还是比人要可爱点。
虽然换了角色都不是原来的小马们，娃还看挺开心的
尽管久违的男女主角都不在我的审美上
friendship is true magic~
怀旧感真强啊。七十年代属于大门乐队。没想到是这样一种成长史。
A sweet story！音乐也很喜欢☺️真希望大人的世界也和孩子们的一样，没有阶级，没有分别心，只有善念
画风跟林特莱克那部Everybody wants some！很像～玩的就是这个feel
一部青春爱情喜剧小品，对于一个“人”来说，七十年代的美国真是黄金时代！文明越多，束缚越多，虚伪越多，一个幼体结束纯真的时点越来越早……
听朋友介绍过前面几部，觉得这部格局的确太小了，导致故事情节看着更稀松平常… 歌很好听，细节设置也很可爱，轻松一下还是不错的嗯
对于南加州的再次探索与回忆一种，通篇陷于疯狂和躁动中，却让同处于这个年龄段的我完全无法共情。电影唯数不多的亮点之一大概是男女主两人的年龄设定，在这种朋友之上恋人之下的关系中躁动地徘徊徘徊。石油危机、嬉皮士、越战，这些元素融在电影里，组成了一锅味道还行的大乱炖。
最近看的最舒心养胃，合情合理的电影。PTS找PSH的儿子演男主角，又合适又让人感慨。WYT
優點明顯。首先小馬們都很美。其次表達主題在當今世界很需要從小對小朋友滲透：消除偏見，隔閡，追求相互溝通和理解，要有大愛大胸懷。

啊！funk！soul！青春年轻人！酷！机会！成长！后半段各路大佬都来了，像是探险。
我看到了暮暮的样子
惊喜是在1小时肖恩潘出来那一刻我就知道我不用接着看了，不是不好，是还不够好
7.5/10。PTA用回忆和想象堆了个属于70年代的Sandy Castle，然后自己一个人跑进去开心地玩了起来——艺术创作者们或许都会有种「幼稚地任性」式的自觉，只不过PTA这次玩脱了。
所以为什么叫licorice pizza?
