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.
不过她们永远记得彼此，
氛围、配乐和动画做得挺好，两个女主角把握的不错，但是讲得不仅隐晦同时信息太少。
看进去之后发现百合元素才不是卖点。
行走江湖，字可以歪，人要正。
奔向天空 回归地面
感觉叙事太意识流了 动画不错
竟然是部灾难片 适合当背景音看 滨边美波漂亮 可能是部同性片
个人不太希望中间插入灾害幸存者和遗族的采访，因为这个故事是属于堇和真奈的，没有人知道堇在那一瞬间感受到了什么，事后一直放不下堇的也只有真奈。
人们不停在追寻的天堂,是不断失落中的天堂.找不到痛觉,这种试图蹂躏痛处的作品,反而会把它治愈,这是胆怯的行为.
虽然有点乱，但是思念一个人时就是这样，没有真正失去，虽然生活中没有了你的身影，但已经融化在我的世界里，像大海那样深，无论何时，无论某地，都在思念
不知道为什么又淘到了女同片＾＾电影整体的色调我很喜欢，是蓝色的。不过主题似懂非懂，它似乎想要升华，可我觉得有点牵强。
片子的完成度还是不错的，包袱，笑点都有。。。就是赵大明白这剧情。。着实不理解。。
“但是真的会因为一些无聊的事情冲淡感情”
「雨滴能选择自己掉落的地方吗」
故事没啥野心，却又很细腻，很温暖。致敬《教父》、披头士，墙上《入殓师》、《阿飞正传》的海报……原来崔志佳也这么爱电影。
「雨滴能选择自己掉落的地方吗」
笑料拼凑感很明显，没有延续崔志佳之前的烧烤之王的亮点，非常一般
电影采用了双视角叙述堇与真奈之间朦胧的爱情 这段爱情就像没有说出口的钱包一样被隐藏了 真奈在堇去世后才察觉到自己的感情
就当无脑烂片用来缓解焦虑的，也不好笑也不感人
奔向天空 随河流淌
