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.
作为《不老奇事》主人公的王传君和王珞丹贡献出了令人惊喜的演技，在王传君的身上，你能感受到一种“一切尽在不言中”的奉献与牺牲，这一切都出于一颗不求回报的真心；而在王珞丹的眼里，你又会深切看到一种凛冽与迫切，仿佛当下的生命就是一场华灯初上，再不做些什么就真的来不及了，因此没有办法停留。
很少打两星，但这部是真剪的乱七八糟。剧情衔接令人尴尬，王朔的那一套碎嘴子看不下去…太压抑了
有触动，人的一生不过匆匆几十年，怎么度过，和谁度过，要不要思考一下
侧 勒 努 趯 策 掠 啄 磔——咏字八法——慨书
用文艺片的方式探讨一个医学命题，用干细胞的比喻来讲爱情，有点不讨喜，但我还挺喜欢的。缓缓道来的旁白，是人生啊，是遗憾啊，是无能为力。配乐、画面、演员的表演都很好，李婷婷特别惊喜，最喜欢丁萌萌。
叙事结构太满了
教授女儿开始用自己做实验开始就走玄幻画风了
为了避开尴尬的青春疼痛死亡离殇片，去影院从来不选青春片，今天踩了个大雷，王朔编剧的比一般青春片的做作还多了厚厚一层中老年人的油腻。
严重裂开，某些段落单拎出来还行，某些拎出来直接爆炸。
当然了，我看着雨中风景也贱戳戳想起了自己的初恋…
一开始就心动的人，会心动一辈子。
演技都在线，但故事是个什么莫名其妙的故事？有一点点扣题吗？？？？
非洲那段太耶和华了，本质来说这样就是演技嘛，王传君们魔怔了还是
还是那个王朔，至死相信纯粹的爱情，但最真挚的俩人永远不能在一起，只能随着命运沉浮，表面投降但永远不背叛内心。表面看王老是王朔，但内心住着郭小鲁。虽然小文艺已经看不懂老王朔，但好在我中学时读的死去活来的那个王朔还在，而且对生死有了更柔软绵密的思考，依然透着感性和单纯。
女主如果是选春夏来演会更好，王珞丹演不出破碎感，市侩又不够市侩，纯又不纯…更演不出在两者间摇摆的破碎感，十分出戏…… 干细胞真厉害啊，怪不得龙人都能活那么久
2.5 空虚没有面目的人和…两女主到底是谁的意淫
就是很多地方有点用力过猛了。
好差，导演好差。拍得很用心，但是好差。救命。
看好多人说《本杰明巴顿奇事》都算是文艺犯病，那此片就可以算是文艺癌症晚期无药可救的那种
故作高深，也有可能是导演没拍出来，男主选择自尽，然后死不了那里给我的震撼还蛮大的，他好像连选择死亡的自由都没有了
