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.
与其说是电影倒不如说是一场氛围灯光布景都极佳的戏剧，只是剧本有点太简单…
毋庸置疑，丹泽尔华盛顿是好莱坞的演技担当之一，在戏里的表现也相当出彩。电影的色调与构图、舞台化的背景和原生态的台词，让我想起《白蛇传·情》，东西方的故事和表现手法迥然不同，但是对于传统文化的表达，却是异曲同工的。但，影片这样的安排还让我想起了好莱坞的zzzq，麦克黑、棕雪公主、墨人鱼、00黑妹……我的天，非要拿他人的历史文化和自己的传承相结合，有必要吗？
and第一次无字幕看的全英电影
太阳星辰、睡眠死亡、天堂地狱，大量天空的描写让人与环境的对抗显得如此无力。4：3画幅，大量固定镜头，经典电影技法拍经典文学，表演和台词还是舞台剧式的。人物刻画薄弱，还好女巫的恐怖感渲染出色。极简的线条和布光，几段establishing shot很惊艳。同是科恩和黑泽明的脑残粉，还是更喜欢六十年前的蜘蛛巢城。
更喜欢贾斯汀·库泽尔的《麦克白》，但是这种极简主义的舞台剧风格也非常迷人，尤其是摄影、美术的艺术造诣让人拍手叫绝，包括那专属于A24电影的诡谲之气。
麦克白的故事，本质上是人的欲望被所谓“预言”无限放大或者说由预言来表现，尔后在宿命论的驱使下去实现自己的欲望，既将自己的生命寄托于命运，却又终日恐惧命运成真，最终走向疯癫。
这种婚后生活可以拍1000集吗谢谢，俩人越来越自然越来越甜了，看了后面的花絮感觉小一好容易害羞，ja总是一脸淡定hhh
虽然片名上做了改动，但剧本其实是极为正统的莎翁剧作，所以试图从本片中解读出更多释义是困难的。影像风格可能是与之前几部麦克白电影最大的区别：荒野和室内景大量采用对称式构图；走廊上的门洞光影恰如一排剑阵；奇幻与现实无缝衔接；黑白摄影的另一个优点是弱化了肤色的差异，所以黑麦也显得不那么违和了。
欣喜出自作品之外。A24探寻电影新风格的做法是回溯到戏剧的本源，先破后立。而我始终相信，传统戏剧与电影的未来是相互提示的，莎士比亚很可能就是那把打开新世界大门的钥匙。
虽然男主lives with enough shit already，但我还是经常笑的像个神经病，幽默的表达太合笑点了。
摄影太过惊艳；匕首形状的门把手；树叶涌进大厅

还不错。青春片就是要谈恋爱，戳演起这个角色比甜茶顺手的多（怀疑本人就是在tla）以及可以想象到霉霉看到电影气到半夜三点爬起来写歌骂戳的场面了（不
莎士比亚再经典 也是几百年前的文学产物了 丝毫不作改编把这个“古老”的故事连同台词搬上来那我想知道编剧到底做了什么… 水帝近年很爱拍这种舞台剧改编的电影显示自己的演技 适得其反
戳爷这个角色拿捏的挺好的，其他的就一般般了，属于青春狗血片。
匡威本年度最好的广告！
弟弟和学长也要出独立剧了今年期待下
最近看的唯一一部青春片，我是颜控，爱了。
一句话总结就是“性病这件小事”剧情各种穿插然而也只是一个很普通的故事 戳戳和渣男也没什么发糖的cp感 也就只有戳戳夏日的少年气了 原来喜欢泰勒丝真的是各个国家同性恋的底层 笑死
像是上了一堂戏剧鉴赏课，美学价值突出，电影价值匮乏。
