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.
整体来说是不错的 意境很好 就是前期的铺垫太长 有的地方完全可以删掉 到后面才开始精彩
好写实好美，爱恋如南美的空气一样燥热得喉咙都发疼，最后结局却奔向无际的大海
如《月亮与六便士》一般选择逃离，去追寻软件背后那个打动你，牵动着你的灵魂。随后，你发现你爱的ta的灵魂，有着一副别样的皮囊。
爱不一定要在一起，即使你想做我荒漠里的渔夫
🌟总体评价：
导演对爱情这件事倾注了过多的温柔，以致于忽略了现实的合理性。两人带着对方的爱意离开看似很美好，实际也是更大悲剧地开始。
这就叫无病呻吟。凑了一个个老套的不能再老的桥段去讲一些烂大街的陈词滥调。用电影里的一句台词来形容这部电影就是“装什么装，烂片就是烂片。”
不过个人很喜欢男女主跳舞的那一幕~
找到自我与现实威逼的故事，性别与这个世界的对抗。
【巴西】“那片海是你~那片沙漠也是你~”一个带着温度的爱情公路片，另一种感觉的《寻》；写尽那些奇怪的际遇与“留在这刻”的珍惜。色调不自然地在和《春光乍泄》靠近，还怪可爱的；《心之全蚀》响起，离开的车，这刻彻底破防。男主让人想起了Édgar Ramírez。=w=
一旦代入，就会戳中。若细琢磨，就全是槽点，主要是对男人的槽点。
好故事，但铺垫太长了，有点拖沓，最后一分钟的彼此坦然非常棒
夸张点说，有一半是由王传君的旁白构建的，引人入胜、娓娓道来。
Antonio真的很hot，但还是无法接受这种剧情设定，故事结束在水坝的时候也许会好很多，最后强行把一个lost的直男掰弯反而让人物脱离了现实，这个世界其实也没有很多深柜。
真爱不是关于找到另一个人，而是关于找到自己。
不过一个健全的异性恋顺性别男性虽然要接受惩罚但至少有家可回，他所经历的无非只是一场关于性/别的思想上的挣扎与接纳。相比一个酷儿无以为家、无工作着落的未知而残酷的生活，占据了影片主要戏份的男主只能说是小痛小痒，让人“懒”于共情。而性/别酷儿的遭遇只是寥寥几笔简写，观众最后沉浸在相吻的满意结局中自得其乐，却忘了对Sara来说更残酷的生活已然开始。
用拉满的光影效果讲了一部互相加深自我认识的故事
男主一开始真的很挫，救啊结果越看越性感辣得我头晕目眩，这片给我整体感觉是一种衣衫单薄的闷骚，其实风格没有很像王家卫，我想导演领略到了内核。水坝和湖好美好美
生命开始的时候，我们哭着迎来自己；生命结束的时候，我们又哭着送走别人，在人生路上，我们是孤独的无助者。
创意显然取经了《本杰明·巴顿奇事》（连片名都很像），更有多场戏直接照抄娄烨《Summer Palace》（配乐都不改）。看完满脑子“QQ弹弹还能拉丝！好吃又健康！”
