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.
想到自己真正快乐的记忆也是本科那段时光，本科之后时间真的过得好快未免太让人感同身受了吧。
倒叙很大程度上稀释了初恋的重要性/歌很好听
太文艺了，普通人普通的生活，需要静心才能看出滋味，我没啥耐心，快看的。给多一星是喜欢这种视角，现实主义的精神
普通就好了。

没有人能在黑夜里跑过时间，但天亮后都会走出去的。
影片看下来的感受恰似电影中经常出现的一个词：普通。
电影把原本分散的情节拍得更连贯直白了，省略了很多细节，把一本私小说改编成了关于一个更为广泛的主题。印象最深的是森山未来的少年中年自由切换，以及最便宜却美得过分的ラブホテル。原本以为会以小沢健二结尾，结果放了一首和作者笔名一样的《燃え殻》，一查才知道它就是笔名由来。
你的身体里，充满了尚未成佛的词语，我能做的，也只有解读而已。
这种倒叙讲述对我来说还是太碎了（不过以后应该会重看）最动人的地方是拍东京塔突然熄灭的那一幕 初恋演过不可以报销和夜以继日 我说怎么这么眼熟 以及渣男东出昌大真的演得很不错
就是那種與現在的自己極match的電影。故事未必特別有新意，但氛圍、情緒，甚至那點倒敘都剛剛好。以及我們都在某個時刻以為自己是那人類的1%。
倒叙小说的阅读感，畅快舒适。普通的度过生活，也很好啊！纱织声音颗粒分明，并不悦耳，但有粗粝的好听。

日式颓废你以为我想看，本来就过上了。断断续续看完要改五星
3.5。什么是“普通”？什么是“特别”（个性）？看到笔友见面聊音乐聊人生，然后香织在挑衣服的时候特地给森山未来挑了一件Sonic Youth，我觉得那是追求符号化的表象赋予人对“个性”的自我欺骗。但回想一下我的青春好像也是这样，追逐看似绚烂但在我的生命中可能很快淡化的事物。森山未来真的牛啊，出租车上那几瞬和过去的交集，不知是过去的世界在笼罩自己，还是现在的自己想被过去吞噬。可能都没有吧。
我可以忍受寂寞吗这个冬天 看完结论依然是不能
真正离别的时候，都不会开口说再见。离开的人心里知道，再也不会见了。
一个中年男人的回忆录……很私人的，却又能勾连多数人共情的……其实普通的人生才是常态……悔的、恼的、憾的，才是绝大多数，但正是这些才构成了人生的多彩……
真的很普通，亦或许是睥睨生活，亦或许是无奈自嘲。电影对于自己产生了很大的共鸣，我曾经和香织说过同样的话，或许有感染他人吧，唯一不同是自己未挣扎就选择了躺平，回溯时光唯一剩下的就是那点碎碎念，不过话说回来这种丧感，我还是很喜欢的!(ps:从抖音主播 宠物观影日 那里了解到这部电影的。)
影片观影还是有门槛的，需要有一定社会经验，年龄稍长，有一定阅片量的喜欢剧情文艺类的才能有点感受。
