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.
同样是儿童视角的回忆往事，同样精致的摄影运用，本片更显一份童真有趣，音乐不错。
I love you so
跑步的时候找了部电影来打发时间，适合小朋友看，好人坏人泾渭分明，汪汪队的坐骑真是棒呆了，比变形金刚还厉害！！汪汪队就是要拯救世界。
黑白影像大概是用来掩盖布景的粗糙吧，北爱尔兰首府就一个T型街道吗？我不理解这个空间建设为什么会如何之差。
我们都是在不断突破自己的弱点称为成长！有这样一群志同道合的好友，还有什么战胜不了的呢。这些工具好高科技😂😂😂
大背景、小人物、童年视角和乡愁的老配方，那场骚乱更像是强加的戏剧动力，个体裹挟其中的层次处理得简单又混乱。比较真诚动人的是小男孩一家人相处的点滴，电影里的牛仔主持公正，飞车渡过难关，现实中离开的和留下的都是时代洪流里的浮木。孩子关心的本该是座位的远近，要做的选择确实海的这边和那边。
“I'm going no where you can't find me.”走吧，不要回头，走或留，都需要勇气。

感觉现在导演也不把小孩当小孩，植入很多新技术，很多新科技到电影里
北爱版<八月> 儿童视角 情感主线 相似度太高
给我家孩子来评一评，必须给五星，很喜欢看汪汪队，家里各种玩具都堆满了
《罗马》在贝尔法斯特。最喜欢的是《正午》《双虎屠龙》与故事形成的互文（但砖头砸枪是什么鬼x）不过现在世界电影配乐风格都是金曲捞吗…………
北爱尔兰版罗马，get yourself to the moon
堪称北爱的“追忆似水年华”，在轻歌曼舞中唱尽爱尔兰人的乐观幽默、执拗坚强，道出他们的心酸与不舍。这配乐选得真的极好，每一首都那么应景又动人心弦。导演非常克制地展现北爱地区的暴力冲突，但暴力的阴影如贝尔法斯特上空的积云贯穿全片，始终有一种压抑不安的氛围萦绕，加重了片子的历史厚重质感。
适合6岁以上的小朋友，闺女4岁看还是太小了点。站在小朋友的角度是不错的动画电影。
不配音乐只看画面以为是惊悚片。老k放下执着，别导演了求求了
流水账到不明所以，再多放几首流行歌配乐就要成功把我逼疯了。
跟《罗马》具有同样的观感，依然无法共情，不停的放歌也没用。良心的是，没墨迹两个多小时。类似的宗教争议，应该是中国几百年前的历史，没想到，现代西方世界仍然在重复悲剧。6.4
萨克斯风独特的音色婉转萦绕，把一段脑海里沉静的回忆缓缓带出。童年是沉静的，感知外界事物时是迟钝的。不知大人为何奔波，不知街道为何纷扰。肯尼思·布拉纳以《罗马》的方式呈现出自己的童年往事，一段弥足珍贵的童年记忆。电影是彩色的，而观众席是黑白的，话剧是彩色的，而观赏者是黑白的，梦境是彩色的，而回忆是黑白的。用一束鲜花告别懵懂的情感。一切都是懵懂而迟钝的。直到多年后，才发觉原来“当时只道是寻常”的，都是鎏金的岁月。｜7.5
装备不错，哈哈哈。低幼里面又有些不一样的东西，确实有电影的画面和赶脚了，还不错，比上一部好看。
