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.
就电影而言 有些拖沓 我们共情的是电影之外的事物 性别歧视 学术造假 舆论导向 政治手段 等等
砍过树没有？我砍过。
最后烘托气氛有点三而竭的感觉，扣分。
5、政治一盘棋，人人都是棋子！
妇女地位问题、教育问题、种姓问题、政治问题等等，诸多问题汇于一炉却丝毫不显凌乱，除了韩国电影，现在连印度电影都这么敢拍了……
PS.印度社会矛盾真的到了这种程度了么？如果在如此大的矛盾环境下，这样的电影能拍出来并上映，那印度政府的包容性真的值得点赞。
大学教师被奸杀，大众愤怒；警察说这是犯人，但是有人要保他们，大众又愤怒；法庭上又说你们被欺骗了，然后大众又愤怒。。议员总结的很到位，政治家最厉害的武器就是大众的情绪。
前面反转2次真的很好看啦，后面结尾是在埋伏笔？有2？上升高度大可不必，太像韩剧了。
王小波有一本书叫《红拂夜奔》，电影里拆开来做了咖啡馆和杂货铺的名字。
哎呀这电影我吃不消啊！
zz的武器是情感，要民众的情感。警长最后也担心孩子会报复才反戈一击的。电影长是长了点，但一定还是要看原本。悬疑的设定很好。
剧情是很不错的，后半部分的翻转，挺让人意外的。但印度式的全程bgm和慢动作，硬要表现出正义凛然的画面 实在太腻了。后面一直再快进，近3个小时的电影完全可以缩短到一个半小时。政治的黑暗，所有人都是棋子罢了，正义，几乎不存在
层层递进的反转，以为是站在更高的正义，但离真相越近就越丑陋。其实你我都只是棋子。
对于一部题材如此大尺度的电影，你不得不感慨，虽然印度穷乱，但是印度的电影却一直在往新的高度挑战。
更因为那段罗马往事的长篇独白，
好难得看到这么特别的爱情小品电影，老灵老嗲了。你说这是爱情吗？是，但似乎又不是，更多还是那种生活，爱情恰好是生活里的一环。每个演员都好对，选了上海以及包邮区的人，状态都好对。连黄明昊都是那种包邮区现在男生的调调，真的老舒服了。导演真的是把城市融入在电影里，城市和电影相辅相成，不是纯粹地在某个城市拍电影，而是在拍城市的呼吸。
电影拍摄手法不行，节奏很怪，配乐也是乱七八糟的，莫名其妙地悬疑，莫名其妙地煽情MV，感觉导演好像没怎么拍过电影。
一开始是要旗帜鲜明地反对动乱,然后变成一个地方的警察署长怎么就接了中央的大案子,只好当场吟了一首诗...接着就是fake news不能make India great again,要加强网络舆论管理,最好扫黑廉政建设,不让互联网成为法外之地...律政戏还蛮出彩的..."仿佛在看罗翔审张三"...
印度电影行业的发达程度以及敢拍程度真的令人望尘莫及“一个国家的尊严就等同于它给女性的尊严”
/2022.6.29/非常理想化，但确实真的勇啊！
