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.
不知所云
看似是徐峥与三个女人的故事，其实主体从头到尾都是女性，男主反而是被动方。睡过徐峥的女人们从先前微妙的修罗场，到最后反而彼此成了朋友。大家一起嘲弄男主过时的男子气概刻板印象时，我在屏幕外也笑得解气：这是一部“女性同盟”电影，男士非请勿入🤣
很难想象一部包含了大量政治批判、甚至是种姓批判的电影在印度是如何过审的，后一小时四十分渐入佳境，法庭上的辩驳情节十分出色，但想叙述的元素太多了，其实前一个小时可以不要，或穿插在法庭辩驳中，后十分钟通过不断的切镜头短暂地交代了律师的经历，给人一头雾水的感觉
最后二十分钟腹泻般的角色关系介绍毁了一切。
真正难的是起树疙瘩，当你把地面挖开，那张复杂的脉络才显露出冰山一角来。你觉得树根在地下可能只有半米见方大小，但无数条树根可能已经延伸到数米远的地下，跟土壤紧紧得结合在一起。
政治家最大的武器，是公众的情感，拍成这个程度，我真的大为震撼，发现开头萨芭追悼会致辞的就是那个畜生博士导师，气死了
是不会主动去看的类型，不过还真是不错啊，印度片也比中国片自由。很多社会现实，很多反转，感觉这要是拍成8集左右的故事片，把没讲完的故事和很多支线人物丰富一下会更好，多个主题都能讲到，而不是现在有点太多了。
前一个半小时不懂为啥8.6，后一个半小时这8.6打的值👏🏻
千万不要在律师法庭陈词的时候退出，非常值得五星
就是上海女人不知道皂基和氨基酸的洗面奶有点扯。
这部电影没有传说中的那么优秀，大家给它打高分，都是因为人家敢拍。五星好评背后，是默默咽下的苦涩与不甘。
总体来说是（不必要的）内容大于形式的电影。
能拍已经是很大的进步了，虽说改变不了什么，但火苗已经种下了，时间一长终会烧起来！
三哥社会问题拼盘大串烧。屏幕前的观众就如屏幕里的屁民一样容易煽动，电影开始时候被煽动一次，电影结尾时候又被煽动一次。
侠气欢喜个则结尾，情敌变同盟的三两男男女女望着银幕，透出的光洒落在身上。阿拉则不知不觉融入了电影里，成为被观看的角色，字幕悄无声息上升，简单自然又耐人寻味。白辛苦不辛苦，费里尼额老多电影，吾啊看伐懂~紫亿到伐？最后《爱情神话》校对和翻译：一额是红拂；一额是夜奔
能有这么高的分数是因为我们也有类似的痛点。
太精妙了，片中每一个人物都是一枚随波逐流的纸片棋子，不停地被分解和建构..仔细看就会发现片子里象征世俗正义的那帮人，说到底不过在履行自己的道德和权益——因为本该如此；反叛道德秩序那帮人也在行使自己的价值和权利——因为全世界的人都知道事实上就是如此。眼看着周围的邻居们思索思索再思索—创造，我们也惊呼要增强民族自信，柔和一些——喏，折中的温暖现实主义。而那些只能隔海相望的这帮电影朋友，脸上带着兴奋的潮红，惴惴不安地沉入剧情，朝着我们想都不敢想的刀刀见骨的现实主义失控驶去..
反转确实没想到，民意是真的很好被操作，三哥真敢拍，方方面面的黑暗都涉及了，而我们只能看看。
爱情在哪？神话在哪？也就只有索菲亚罗兰扣题了（这是诽谤）。。。
