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.
我所剩下的只有去阳台上，等待夏天26日的太阳缓慢升起的，一根烟的时间。
另外，相比之下村上对女性司机的刻画太自以为是
熬过前面，后面越来越棒，整部看完，前面的无聊也精彩起来了，超棒
看到一半的甜蜜想着为什么不正常点呢
怎么就能在生日当天选中一部生日元素如此丰富的电影呢…情节甚至人物设定都是老套的，但很喜欢一些小设计。比如在出租车里，坦白心意的池松被伊藤的笑打断然后突然拒绝说下去。这两位的表演状态都太棒了，很松弛很自然。
陈正道是真的把审查标准摸透了，观众角度能从少年少女的互动中获得乐趣和悲伤，而从解读影片层面，又包含着对青春期人群情感的关注、性取向的探索、得与失的微妙辩证关系。父母对待情感关系的副线，拿捏得当，既是成人化的角度补充，也对少年情感的追寻进行了有利佐证。片末电音节郑宇星和陈辰的对话内容，把影片的质素整体抬升，不再拘泥于青春二字。吴磊找到了现阶段最适合他，也是其个人非常重要的一个角色。拥抱你，会不会更寂寞。拥抱自己，不再会孤单。
有可能成为我的"年度十佳"
确实会想跟《花束》做对比
2021年7月26日，佐伯照生(池松壮亮 饰)迎接34岁生日，起床后惯常地为仙人掌浇水，身体随着收音机音乐摆动，就算是生日，身为灯光师的他仍如常工作，照亮台上每一位舞者。
就跟片名一样 导演想要的很少 叙述也全是碎片化的 但是你看完一定会时不时想起夜游水族馆和巷口伴着流浪汉的琴声而起的双人舞 “用眼睛咂嘴”未必不比“摇摇晃晃的电车”更生动浪漫 恋爱的结束并不总是有告别的正式的 也许就结束在对方失联几个星期时 也许就结束在看到别人送他生日礼物时 可结束了又怎样呢 夜车继续开 永濑正敏继续他无休止的等待 夜晚总是值得的 贾木许如是说
分手情侣还能这么拍啊，怪啊，好怪的时间顺序，纯倒叙才带来的复杂感受！
（b站群起而攻之的圈地自萌让我越来越感觉这个时代的言论垄断，人们因为同样的观点抱在一起，不是为了取暖，是为了形成合力攻击别人）

善良是职责，要用一生去完成。善良是鲜花，要用清水去浇灌。善良是烛光，要用心火去点燃。善良是珍珠，要用道德去购买。
谁没有点遗憾呢。看他们的故事，就像是帮我们讲出了很多未说出口的话，延续了后来的故事。但故事结尾依旧需要告别的话，那不如早一些，让回忆轻快一些。
挺真实的。之前看网友评价说类似花束的恋爱，我自己感觉这部剧要成熟很多，细节也很自然。让虽然没有舞蹈家男友的我也能感同身受
忽然想起一些，在突然某个转身，在看这部电影的时候
想起来总是有些遗憾的吧，毕竟我们曾一起那样憧憬过未来…
池松神奇的一点是，演什么角色我都不会出戏。太爱这电影了。
或许爱情最好的结局是分手. 至少有过那些美好的记忆.
