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.
在特殊的位置有一粒痣
一部好的电影就是随着情节的发展，观众在不知不觉间随着主人公流泪了，自然到无所感知。在电影的结尾，看着Cameron和儿子告别，看着妻子的深情表白，我跟着Cameron的哭泣而情不自禁的流泪。如果复制一个自己，可以减少自己离去而对家人造成的悲恸，你会愿意复制一个自己吗？有一处重要台词我认为翻译错误 Cameron对妻子内疚时说"I drifted." 应该是 我疏远你了的意思，翻译成“我出过轨。”实在是大错特错，出轨应该是 "I cheated." 这是个不应该的错误。
有种在看《黑镜》的感觉。既然如此相爱，为何不坦诚相待？一厢情愿地做了这些决定，有没有考虑到对方将来要是察觉异样得知真相，是否能够接受这些以爱之名的所作所为？—— Panda的2021年度外语电影：5月→《夏日国度》《兹山鱼谱》《教室里的一头牦牛》…，6月→《温蒂妮》《午夜天鹅》《担保》《比得兔2：逃跑计划》《耳光》《漫漫寻子路》《里夫金的电影节》…，7月→《浴火鸟》《花束般的恋爱》《偶然与想象》《埃舍尔街的红色邮筒》《三真集团英语托业班》《哦！文姬》《浪客剑心 最终章 追忆篇》…，8月→《渔业阴谋》《X特遣队：全员集结》《孩子们很有趣》《人生最棒的礼物》《健听女孩》《游戏男孩 电影版》《新秩序》《马卡卢索往事》《如纸人生》《喜剧 爱妻物语》《卡吉尔女孩》《温德米尔儿童》《对我来说非常珍贵的你》《失控玩家》…；…
没有想像的好看，没有从头燃到尾，有一种抗日神剧的味道。开始派的一队以为是王者结果直接ko，后来才是真正的队伍，这次的小队明显较弱。最好看的地方就是几人潜入一个地点时团灭了他们但发现是女主的亲戚们，后来几人去大反派的老巢。那里的动作戏挺多，各种楼塌的情景拍的挺好，最后打大五角星有点恶搞的味道，还是被一堆变身的老鼠进入吃掉，最美的地方是小丑女进入眼睛中。
吃对面的人的巧克力，就能得到爱情吧？哈哈。
软科幻轻伦理，主动被所爱之人遗忘是最痛苦的事。
Apple所以自然也是浓浓的性冷淡风
Ali演技实在好，几乎让我忽略了剧情，好喜欢，特别是那双含泪的双眸深深打动了我。
实在无法融入内容当中，太碎片化，披着科技外壳好似高大上，还不如一本正经去描述，苹果出品的电影个人都好闷...
学会认命道别，接受更新替代，论如何在苹果跨国大资本企业主导包装下政治正确地翻拍《逃出克隆岛》和《第六日》；开篇就用一个心灵鸡汤老梗拍浪漫邂逅，也以此定下全片塑料感基调，强行煽情精致缺乏灵魂，跟《她》完全木有可比性；不过演员都挺靠谱，能撑下戏，如果林家珍的戏份多点就好了
最后我会在自己的心里安息
居然能有所突破！有不少让子弹飞的讽刺情节。Peacemaker, what a joke. 推荐油管上Second Thought频道里的"The US Doesn't Meddle In Foreign Affairs"。https://youtu.be/mwyjlmEAcYM
《黑镜 be right back》的禅意版，整部片子的基调和质感都好禅啊，让人想起乔布斯在空荡的房间一盏台灯下看书的场景。贼多镜头从背面拍过去，优胜美地一般的风景背景和孤独的人。任何人造的生死（延长寿命都不算），都是对人的本质的解构。
奎因爆杀那段真是又帅又狠。在血腥暴力中加入可爱与幽默中和，不然猎奇程度不止R级。故事线交汇的设计比较有意思，抱脸海星的最大敌人居然是老鼠。
Apple TV+一贯路线，科幻外壳包裹的家庭温软核心。未来世界UI设计和家装风格保持Apple产品概念高度一致的平行质感，干净冷寂，为探讨弥留之际生死哲思的镜像对话构造透彻空明的氛围舞台。类似的以克隆人延续不治之症病躯身份的伦理辩题早在Klara and the Sun等很多文艺作品加以探讨，但本片无意挖掘更深向度的思考，始终紧扣天鹅之死悲鸣绝叫的题眼，细腻温馨的走马灯如脉脉流水贯通复制双生的对视之间。一块巧克力的尴尬邂逅和啤酒就毛豆的父子告别尤其动人。归根到底，仍然是一部小品文，Mahershala Ali优秀的演技使这个毫无新意的过时故事增添了许多可看性。Dumb Witness再现，备份重生绝对不是万无一失的白色谎言，我们只能止步于Cameron无憾又悲恸的那一行泪，被爱的配方满足。
该拿捏住的地方拿捏住了，搞笑频繁（虽然很少有真正好笑的地方），也有安排一些小小的出乎意料的转折。中规中矩罢了，评分怎么这么高呢？
无论是站在原本的我
导演果然不一般，难得看到一部不闷的DC电影，暴力美学搭配鲜花蝴蝶，密恐爱好者的盛宴，小丑女美出了了不一样的高度，全片透露着一股蠢萌的感觉，海星吸脸这招让我一下子回到了Rick and Morty，配乐好评。
想起13年的Her。A swan song is the final performance of an actor, singer, composer, poet, or the like. According to folklore, swans sing most beautifully before they die, and hence this phrase came to be used to describe someone who was leaving in style.
