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.
《雄狮少年》堪称惊艳，不止于燃，更是深切的共鸣。从《大圣归来》到《哪吒》再到本片，国漫实现了从IP到原创的飞跃，完成了从神到人的蜕变。它在传承传统文化、展现中国特色的同时，关注当下现实，关注边缘群体，关注活生生的人，这才是真正值得击节喝彩的国漫之光！
身在客乡独思亲，不在山东在广东，扫地僧出场不多，没有闲笔，半梦半醒半疯癫，深藏功与名，高手在民间。
尬尬的，但还行。像拍动物一样拍人类，钢筋水泥做的森林并不只存在于2005年。
燃烧吧，被英雄花砸中的少年！永远别认！永远骄傲！永远倔强！
剧作特别顺拐，人物都是功能性没特点，笑点设置尴尬，高潮硬来很尬……唯一的优点是终于不是神话题材了（好像跟电影本身没啥关系）……
但是分开庸作和佳作的差别就在于套路之外的部分。
文本和音乐跳脱出商业用法，告五人、九连真人深度服务于剧情的方言歌词自带地区文化色彩；从广播里的少年强则国强，到挨打后听到的红日初升其道大光，最后内化成腾跃时的雄狮腾渊鳞爪飞扬。
真·国漫之光！抛开所有熟悉的ip ，讲地道的现实主义故事，如何能做到热血燃以及弘扬传统文化，做创作的都明白这有多难，但“雄狮少年”做到了。这一次，没有悟空也没有哪吒，不再是家喻户晓的神话英雄，而是普普通通的小镇废柴少年，有着无比真实的现实困境。非常喜欢结尾的处理，人生哪有爽剧式的逆袭，最动人之处，莫过于负重前行时还记得年少时对翅膀的希冀。伴着仁科“道山靓仔”的歌声开场，到闫总的唢呐，片尾又听见九连真人，老阿姨的眼泪绷不住，我担心我再也听不见心中那一声咆哮了……
很喜欢，说明电影还是视听语言的艺术。开头的长镜、类似黄飞鸿的多机位剪辑、不经意的dolly-zoom都是提升观感的。所有人都知道主人公最后要翻最高的竹子，但怎么说这个俗套的事呢，导演用一个从逼仄狮头出发上仰的主观镜头全讲明白了，漂亮！这个镜头已经让我停不下泪了，而后面精确掐点的九连的歌让我的局面愈加恶化，我想周星驰看了都会高兴的吧。
循规蹈矩的故事，带点儿文艺心思的配乐，我感觉这部动画的气质，也很像阿娟和阿强。
3颗半 有出彩的段落 但节奏还是很垮 台词还是很尬

这不是我们的《东京教父》吗？热血的故事只是现实主义底子的糖衣，骗大家来吃吃看。
周星驰老了，看周星驰的人长大了。知道是个套路的故事，但导演太会了，音乐啊人设啊全部击中了我，哪怕是美术层面也好到没天理，就，以前的都是假国风。留守儿童主题的内核，找到没落传统文化的视觉包装，天衣无缝。如果2021只能看一部国产片的话，就是它了。
热血漫，挺燃的，导演很懂配乐，九连真人和椅子乐团的成名曲，还有毛不易的歌对剧情都有增色，该有的基础套路都有，该有的共情点恰到好处让感情持续上升，最后结尾的价值观取向很正，要相信朋友，做好自己的事，共同进步，再搭档才能跃升，舞狮是精神，是生活中的一部分，生活还是要踏踏实实地奋斗。
大厦的夹缝中你被晃了晃眼，虽跃不过高山，但太阳照常升起。
听说广东仔眼睛都长这样...配合人教版教材做意识形态渗透？姓孙的，我祝你后代全长人教版数学书里那样
大厦的夹缝中你被晃了晃眼，虽跃不过高山，但太阳照常升起。
一切阴霾都会过去
同样珍贵的是，故事的最后，他们的命运没有因此改写。
