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.
很喜欢看根据真人改编的电影，情节或许没爆米花电影那么激动人心 因为真实反倒更有力量。冰面世界风景的迷人没的说了。对抗孤独与幻觉也是很吸引人的一点。幸运的结尾，真实世界的一趟人生冒险，幸存即是胜利
奇怪白人的白眼，judging 。Just let it fu*k off. 世界那么多爱，最基本的还是要爱自己。
明明是很俗的故事，但是依然受用。以及终于不是苦大仇深的故事了！和朋友一起看的时候非常开心。磕cp的时候相拥发出鸡叫。
Teen music is great.
safe card playing feel good movie~
看的时候很想念那年夏天。以及，I'm pretty sure15年还是16年的时候和Will那个演员hooked up过...很清楚地记得他当时是king&I那个音乐剧的演员之一
电影不是很长但后三分之一确实让人感觉拖沓。取景和服装都不错，剧情感觉交代的不清不楚：从出发的原因和目的地、为何男二突然就感兴趣想加入、船员弃船前迅速搭建的看起来一切完备小木屋、到男主的伤心过往（我还以为他女友已经死了变成了鬼总是haunt男主导致产生幻觉，结果结尾女友又蹦出来了）。导演功力不够，随便交代一下就期望观众能自行理解、买单。还是《北海鲸梦》好看的多
是部有趣的电影。
男二怎么一点自信都没有，婆婆妈妈的真出戏！
靠，我觉得好好看啊🥹虚幻与写实，没有经历过类似的故事却能产生共鸣。类似的Gay chick movie多来点！！
Nobody believes the true love shit on a vacation but one can always some kind of love 😉
There’s not enough Asian gays in Hollywood!
看之前没觉得会这么惊喜，以后的爱情电影都按这个套路来好吗！拜托那些说剧情老套的人自己在家循环断背山好吗，这种笑点低级的cliche配不上你的文人气质，慢走不送
泛娱乐化的破碎，全阵容LGBT，主题值得演绎，但表现不足，也不知道是后现代的风格还是我的审美问题
这打光黑的时候👻都看不清，推动情节发展的不是剧情，鬼知道是fxxking什么鬼东西…每个人物都功能化扁平的不行～
2.5内容乏善可陈，情节较平淡。cgi还行。产生幻觉的设定在冒险类影片中逐渐常见了。人物心理挣扎渲染不够。
一部关于stereotype和反stereotype的电影。其实真的比我想象好太多，现在想想自己其实也是带着成见看的（这片名和海报；一群gay去一个岛狂欢的题材；然后还有对杨伯文本人的认知hello？！），钢铁直男都会知道有点什么。。。然后你就变成了岛上的人——大家都有着自己的刻板印象。然后有意思的是一边吐槽着一边又上演着各种刻板印象，which又非常得gay！这种自说自演和反复横跳，还是有趣的！
有snl的杨博文我才特意去看的，没想到剧情这么无聊，人物这么扁平化，两星还是看在它名字上加的，属于你一眼看到开头就能知道结局的标准老式喜剧大团圆结局，但是又很无聊😔
同志版的傲慢与偏见，will的演员演技真不错
