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.
好久没看过如此垃圾的电影了
男主爱不爱女主，有多爱我倒是没看出来
何止两段，前中后是三段电影吧！
其实还行吧，但是前面后面完全跟两个电影似的，王珞丹应该会得奖了
两个沉浸在文艺片中的“优秀演员”，也别尬吹什么演技了吧。。。
如果我会忘记你，那那个人就不是我了，喜欢这个片儿的质感，格局，喃喃自语，埋下的有趣的伏笔和设定那些，比如两个人上了那个运送化学品的列车上，比如奔跑就会摔倒，越着急越无法到达，比如丁教授被马桶冲走一生，我喜欢它对死亡的浪漫阐述，抗拒却不畏惧，它出脱现实，但情感和人物又回归现实，选曲和配乐也合适，很有味道的一个电影，有点儿缥缈和悠远，多多少少被低估了，7/10吧，看进去了，有点儿喜欢，一切可能关于爱情，但更关于死亡，比较爱情和死亡是同时产生的，
7.0 前后跳跃太大 其实如果按前边的故事讲 也不错
应该说不愧是王朔 王传君也真不错 王珞丹不差
角度比较清奇的片子，用了一点点超现实主义，来重新探讨这个人时常会感到迷茫的问题。从切腹自尽的关谷神奇到郭小鲁，从唱歌难听的杜拉拉到苏凌芳，演员自身的蜕变也正巧印证着这个主题。
还是那个熟悉的王朔配方，永远回不去的久远时光，至死都想抓住，看完像经历了整场人生...
不着急慢慢看，还可以。一个死心眼闷葫芦遇见两个女疯子，结局只能是被蹂躏碾压，最终陷入幻想，再也看不清真实世界，只剩下自己的臆想。
Memory hints the legacy evidence of which ghost passes through the world without staying.
7.5
十年内最好的中国电影剧本! 神级电影!!!
眼看着28岁了 ，我还单身，工作还没定 ，前路在何处，茫然失措。
你以为的不老超能力是因为小时候的化学事故，可这能力最后的来源，却让这个故事前后有了严重的割裂感，看来是不能太期待王朔写类似的故事。
经典的多重解读，容易感动自己
看名字还以为是本杰明巴顿奇事那样的，原来是科幻。
看了一个古旧的开头，就放弃了。#20220117
1.5倍速看完了，无法用言语去评论这部电影，反正就是很莫名其妙就对了。
