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.
【3.0】技巧上是一部流于表面包装的片子，本以为黑白影像会一定程度上为这个时代动荡题材调动起政治性的释义，结果它更多是起到彩色片时代的黑白影像最普通的过去时态表意。影片最打动人的地方是主人公家庭在去留贝尔法斯特间那个选择，导演成功抓住了大人和小孩不同反应的惆怅情绪，作为一部纪念故乡的电影，它是真诚的、充满爱意和浓郁乡愁的。
还不错，就是配音和动画片有点区别，乍一听，有点别扭，配乐很棒
不在乎有没有感动别人
从成年人的视角来说，真的再也不想看为小孩子创作的动画片了。全片看下来，一直在思考吸云机器如何在短时间内吸完全城的乌云，爆炸时为何会产生风暴，狗的装备如何在短时间内制造出来，搭云梯拯救乘客时云梯为何那么稳定的物理学原理，薄薄一层速干水泥怎么固定住质量相对很大的高架桥，市长这个人物形象存在的合理性……感谢九年义务教育，感谢鞭策本人学习的所有老师同学朋友！是你们让我不再沉迷于此类动画片！！！
个人观感：阿方索·卡隆《罗马 Roma》＞肯尼思·布拉纳《贝尔法斯特 Belfast》。—— 尽管影片的故事不够吸引我，但摄影、剪辑、表演、声效、配乐等制作方面倒是让我觉得挺不错的。
m21304：边界一直存在(派别互害)。家庭与周遭给与小巴迪的品质，让他不会像被涂污的鸟般成长。多处拷问：你想要什么? 很多人逃离，很多人留下，很多人迷失，地球依旧在旋转。
导演用相似的美学风格拍摄了一部全方位降级的英国版《罗马》，很私人（里面小孩还在看《雷神》的漫画）但也确实能力有限，个别佳句出彩但完全无法连贯情感。不过看的时候突然想到咱们也能拍部中国版《罗马》，黑白画面的80年代首都小孩在胡同家属院中玩耍打闹，偶尔有经过的大学生会逗他给点冰棍小零食什么的，直到有一天看到他们衣衫褴褛跌跌撞撞地逃进胡同......
但其实这片子我还行啊，小男孩超有戏，也有几个漂亮的镜头和调度呢。
电影就那回事，还是影像好看，现在Panavision也太牛逼了吧，边看还在边品每一帧影像里的灰调子，理想里的伊尔福、tmax就是那种不太暗，暗里又有层次的灰。
片尾曲、几首插曲都非常好听。全新登场角色，全新豪华总部，更炸裂的科技，更新型的装备，异彩纷呈。影片高潮处甚至变成了气象灾难巨制，超震撼！英雄也会害怕，但就是因为尽管害怕也会勇往直前，所以是英雄！I love Paw Patrol!!
四岁的娃第一次看电影，全程不吵不闹，看懂了。宝宝应该会打5星。情节还挺不错的，大人也能陪着看下去不觉得无聊。
编导肯尼斯布拉纳应该是从自己的童年经历中汲取了素材，所以才能有这么充满感情的细节，回忆中的片段时刻就像一首写给父母的散文诗，那分明是黑白光影下的乡愁，让人留恋不舍。
这个没想到都有大电影了，我妹超爱看陪她去的
过分自我的影片，并不难以理解，但是难以跟随。
从头到尾看得津津有味
7.0/远的《罗马》不说，比《上帝之手》差的也不是一点点，这种私人化的的影像最忌平淡无味，是《正午》的OST打动评委们了？
富有童趣的儿时小传，用浓郁的温情包裹了历史的残酷，但也仅此而已，没啥深度，摄影很赞。
肯尼斯布拉纳的舞台剧调度。小孩的表演很讨喜。
带豆姐看的第二部电影，汪汪队粉还是可以看的。狗狗挺可爱的。其他就没有推荐的价值了…
每个导演心中都有一个《罗马》，但肯尼思·布拉纳并不是阿方索·卡隆。
