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.
看到片尾那些乔纳森当年的片段 才发现加菲是真的好像他 导演为同志角色平添的颜色很闪耀 那竟是真正打动我的部分
创作者真的就是一句表扬都是动力，不需要他人认可的创作者说不存在的，抱着女朋友想着创作那一幕真的很灵，这个人，很立体。
加菲尔德演得还是挺用力的，可总觉得他还是《血战钢锯岭》中的样子，没法跳脱成音乐人。另外对原型人物Jon也没啥了解，不知他好在哪里，影片中的歌曲，说实话，没有一首好听的，都比较一般吧，难以让人感到共鸣。
或许都是几周以后快三十的人，感同身受。三十岁的我，会有什么成就呢，又需要什么成就呢。
切入点非常的精妙，同时并行了爱情友情热情，并讲述了一个我们自以为了解的音乐人背后的故事。林大大对音乐剧的热爱通过屏幕都能感受得到，演员们的投入让你甚至感受不到一丝的违和。这是透过大屏幕最棒的诠释
当然，关于这种有所执着，有所梦想的坚持，如若能代入于观众的语境，那必然是很好的，只可惜主角身边一群艾滋患者，也让我试图代入主角时心有戚戚。
在三十岁之前几个月看这部电影不知道是好事还是坏事
本来是最应该让我感同身受的行业，但我却看得毫无共情。剧作家的早逝确实令人扼腕，但他生前的一切都是通俗的励志模板。
rent的诞生背景在此
如果说Company是30岁群体的情感焦虑，TTB则像要补足他们的职业焦虑——在我看来他们来自于同一类人。必须要赞叹LMM的导演处女秀，把这部作品做音乐电影其实很容易变成煽情MV，但是ONE MAN SHOW式的旁白穿插，起到了一定的调和作用，最终也可以哀而不伤。若说不足可能是前边有点细碎，后半程更流畅情绪也更浓烈，整体有点过盛。加菲和演员们的在线不多吹了，SUNDAY的大合唱很有百老汇重聚的感动。最终最终一定要说每吹Jonathan Larson或者LMM都会感叹桑爷是永远的神，我相信他们所做也是为了证明自己的偶像足够伟大，一切成就皆是向光的结果。
有时候觉得电影评论真是残酷，明明是真事但放到电影维度就是稀烂，也跟导演选取桥段有关吧。精彩之处在于用三空间连一个唱段，典型就是与好友离别那段。其实除了最后一首，所有歌我都喜欢，尤其女友吵架的那段声情并茂
【B+】
使用音乐剧作为全片载体是对原型的最大尊重，重要的是首首好听。
在分手期间看这样的片子真的爆哭 只是这位贵人在《使女的故事》中饰演一个反派让我频频出戏🤣 希望大家都可以get through break up
lmm的首部电影作品 画面转场节奏叙事都令人满意 等着拿奖吧
没想到和pose如此梦幻联动！对不起jonathan！我一定会去看一场现场rent的！曲子没有期待中的抓人，但还行吧… 我最喜欢的是susan天台的那场。michael和susan的演绎比招来的演员动人多了。所以superbia有演出过吗？我真得好想看“外星人和未来”的音乐剧…
银幕和舞台的玩法很难兼容，还是放回舞台上吧……
is this real life？666
johnny has no guide
拍摄手法和呈现普普通通… 想要了解Larson到底是个怎么样的天才的朋友还是去看看Rent吧…
