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.
4K彩色修复清晰度不错，至于彩色的效果做不到完美也丢失了黑白片特有的美感，孙道临在这部的核心还是那坚定的神情，真是打动观众了。
那个时代的电影 导向很明显 摄制技术也相对偏弱。但演员的演技和表达能力真的太强大，彩色修复也非常棒，让眼泪的质感更绝了。我们永远不能忘记革命先辈们。
我尊重这种彩色修复技术，运用在这部上来看可以接受，确实增加了可看性，不过有得有失也是必然的，暂不作评判。
片子意外的成熟好看！还是比较介意现在的状态吧。“什么事都不相信，什么话也听不进，只是漫～不经心。”hhh
小时候看并不知道是真实人物事件改编，知道了如今再看感触不一样了。当时影坛的两大帅哥同框，也只有孙道临能让王心刚去演反派了hiahia
永远是极具希望和浪漫的字眼。永远经典。听到奶奶的乡音热泪盈眶哇，再会阿。
费时费力把黑白电影转成彩色，不仅失掉了原有的美学特色，还呈现出这样的效果，希望不要有第二次了。
个人情感与家国使命交织结合，喜欢王苹导演的风格
我很少给中国影片打五星，为什么？是因为总觉得灵魂的深处的那块地方没有被击中，但是像地道战地雷战杜鹃山这类的电影我都是打五星的，当然还有这部，为什么？因为画面吗？不，那时候的画面根本和现在的没法比，那是因为什么呢？是剧情是老艺术家的表演，当滴滴滴~同志们永别了这句旁白出来后，有多少人希望让时间倒流，让李白同志活下来的，这就是老电影的魅力，而现在随便什么电影能让人有这种感觉的基本上是没有的。
最后报数时突然想起许三多是钢七连第4956个兵,一个个数字,多么有魅力.........
“特别好特别好就是……我特别特别想你…….”拼命忍住眼泪最后报数那边泪崩。 中国志愿军永垂不朽！！
同志們，永別了，我想念你們，伴隨著他發報的身影，是渡江戰役和上海戰役的勝利畫面，這個鏡頭運用極其經典，感人至深。
#经典老电影# 李侠夫妇假扮夫妻潜入上海，利用商人身份把地下党得到的情报利用电台发出去，从抗日战争一直坚持到解放战争的前夕，最后暴露身份为国捐躯。“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。”#孙道临##袁霞##王心刚##袁丽珠#
电影踬仆的遥远无比
彩色有彩色的味道，孙道临留胡子比白面书生的形象更有魅力！还挺喜欢早期国产电影中，演员举手投足间京剧的韵味
如果从电影的拍摄手段或者电影画面来看，这部电影没什么技巧，只是在讲一个好故事。
那个时代的电影 导向很明显 摄制技术也相对偏弱。但演员的演技和表达能力真的太强大，彩色修复也非常棒，让眼泪的质感更绝了。我们永远不能忘记革命先辈们。
不论镜头语言还是表演，不论是当时的电影环境还是现在都是经典！
老故事片看着就是带劲，演员一起范，仿佛回到了那个传奇年代。
感动。但只是因为结局和里面的真人真事，完全不是因为电影本身。
