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.
第一部洪尚秀 固定机位长镜头人物说话
女性个体画像，难得看洪尚秀在电影里嘲笑自己
白色高领打底+白裤子+黑西装+黑皮鞋最佳outfit。一旦切换到彩色小视频日了，这是什么恐怖的红毛衣。懂为啥拍黑白，演员随便穿。拍vlog可以养活全家，臭男人少哭穷。
除了对金敏喜的迷恋之外，从常见的一男一女渐渐转变到两个女性的必然性是什么？或者说常见的让人不适的，凝视意味明显的位置，由男性换成女性小说家的必要性是什么？洪尚秀可能想了，但观众未必都看明白了。
灵动美丽的金敏喜。尴尬的相遇，拘谨的对白，热烈的饮酒，怅然若失的观影后，天台飘起来的烟圈，最后短暂影片里，她说，你用黑白拍吗好可惜这真的很美，镜头转到彩色，你更美丽。
小说家和洪尚秀对所爱的赤忱热情可以感受到。
固定镜头，过曝的白，少了直男尬夸就清爽不少。终于Get到寒暄间隙的那种意会，人与人的沟通借由尴尬才有的递进和袒露。
没法入戏……
窗外直盯镜头最后又回来的路人小女孩是最妙的一笔 以这场戏直接体现出了导演借小说家之口所表达的电影创作观 也正是我心中最向往的那种
与其说这是小说家的电影，不如说这是导演的生活录像。洪尚秀再一次用他和金敏喜的灵魂爱情撑起了一部电影。台词依旧是文学式的，但静止空间的大篇幅对话到底是不是电影呢，电影不更应该是没有台词也能够运转下去的吗。
除了省略与回旋之外，有些神来之笔。最好的是望远镜的发现，另外，就是最后段落的主观镜头，一半彩色一半黑白，金敏喜溢出来了，这已经不是电影了。但它还是电影。
4- 是隔着屏幕的告白啊。想去散个步，在天色还未晚，先修补生活的空洞。
能说会道自尊心还挺重的小说家给金敏喜夫妇策划的狗粮vlog 演员和摄影全由夫妇俩自带
要不是因为这个名字，都不想看洪常秀了。像他这样拍电影，一个月能拍六个。吃饭时过爆，捧花时虚焦……最低级的错误都没有人提了。片尾转彩色更是用烂了。
我真想请教一下各位大神，读解一下洪常秀的电影语言，牛逼在哪里，每一次的推拉有什么寓意。我看的是电影还是小说，是视听还是文字
有个疑问，提出来恐怕不礼貌，但知识不能不求甚解，所以还是要问：拍洪尚秀的电影需要化妆吗？
虽然大体上看不懂，但也看到了借小说家之口的强硬态度。发糖有点可爱
我好像看懂了，又好像没有。但可以肯定的是我不喜欢。
在第一个场景中，小说家便要求放弃听觉，将表意集中在视觉之上，随后正是通过陆续几次视线的引导，实现了望远镜中的金敏喜、窗外的小女孩以及摄影机背后的丈夫的出场，又或者说是视线创造了裂变以及角色。在这部电影中，叙事的结构与路线的结构重合为一条环线，沿途拾掇然后回到起点，在金敏喜的入睡中休止，随后另起一章，既可以视作在同一条线路上直接往下延展，又能依附于入睡时刻形成上下的层级关系，甚至在此发生了小说家/演员之间视点的分裂与偏移也并不重要，因为她一早便是从视觉中衍生的。
天啊 彻底放飞自我 两口子隔着镜头互送秋波这种操作真的可以吗
