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.
喜欢看这种全片只有方言的电影，给人一种很亲切又很真实的感觉，历史厚重感也随之而来，革命信仰也更加浓烈。
全片基本上可以说是零血腥刺激镜头，但整体悲壮凄美的氛围却营造的很足很足
影片中的他们每一个都是最普通的红军战士，但是却组成了最不普通的英雄团队，向他们深深致敬。
故事不够，视听来凑，前半段在干什么啊！最后二十分钟最值得一看
这部电影很有新意的把战争和祖国壮丽山河极富诗意的结合到了一起，既有残酷的冲击力，又有空灵的美感，很特殊的体验感。
看电影都快睡着了，没有战争的大场面，画面黑白的，剧情无聊。
惯常的叙事，一眼便能猜到的结局。三星打给视觉效果，低饱和度的显示风格削弱了血腥感。
行云流般的长镜头让人沉浸感十足，明明是残酷的战争，却被赋予了诗情画意般的意境，战争片的另一种打开方式。
Bgm跟心跳同频，把激动的心一直吊着，从头至尾都很沉浸。
比电影还要残酷的是现实，伟大的挺进师，致敬！
有些人表面上是萨摩的西乡隆盛，其实是新选组的近藤局长。
是怎样做到让一部战争片既隐忍又激烈、既克制又如此动人的？忍不住要为这部《云霄之上》点个赞！
抛弃了所谓的正确，选择了真实世界中的每一个个体，正因为是这样，所以才让人格外有共鸣吧。
可以看出整个制作团队在艺术上是有一定追求的，努力尝试着从很多方面打破人们对战争电影的固有印象，在我这里，他们做到了。
好爱这部
个人的刻画挺深刻，黑白早就的战争无情感更击人心。
卡司真心不错，画面也还好，不过剧情太过拖沓，太流水。女性角色真的美必要的存在。
这应该是时间线拉的最长的一部新选组电影，也就不可避免的流水账，有一些很莫名奇妙的细节设定，在我的感觉，准一还是实在不土方
北京国际电影节 首映 ｜ 一部突破传统的战争片
主线很清晰但剧情之凌乱，剪辑之混乱，令人一头雾水。炸药包哪里来的，子弹永远打不完，上岸之后还有火柴抽烟，都很经不起推敲啊。
