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.
张伯伦对英国肯定是贡献巨大，看看皇家空军在38年秋季的战备细节，就会知道如果战争提前一年在38年秋季就爆发的话，英国真的很难扛下来，道丁的防御体系根本来不及建成，即便拖到39年秋季开战，若没有战争之初一直到第二年敦刻尔克战前那大半年的phony war的继续拖延，英国要应付BOB仍然很艰难，40年下半年的BOB都扛得那么难，试想想提早两年？德国空军经过了西班牙内战的演练，皇家空军有什么（喷火38年8月才刚入役，更别提对C&R体系至关重要的CH和CHL雷达站建设进度）？这种为国家利益牺牲个人名誉的人是很难做的。再加上一战的惨痛阴影笼罩着他们这一辈人的记忆，对再一次大战争爆发重蹈覆辙的恐惧是完全可以理解的。一国首相首要关切的自然是本国利益和存亡。
nightmare，怪诞大赏，说了很多又好像什么都没说。坚持10min后就想看完。
历史的框架下试图用双方立场的两个好友切入讲故事限制还是挺多的吧。
类似2001太空漫游，剧情就像是观光巴士，重点是（导演想表达的）窗外的景色而非巴士座椅舒适与否。
这是部政治人性片，隐喻太深不敢明说，怕豆瓣再罚150万
心智正常的人，没有一个希望战争
像一个血腥疯狂的梦境，适合当噩梦素材，也适合做个横版恐怖游戏
我愿意相信标题的「疯神」指的是创作者自己，想象力的混乱集合体，一个颓废、疯狂、残忍的世界，充满了死亡和不可名状的生命，机械而又非理性。

一切都没有章法，一切都野性又诡异，用定格动画创造出一个重口又荒唐的世界，充分刺激了感观，不缺记忆点，但缺精彩度。

有点超前了，没有对白你都不知道在表达什么。一直解谜一样
通过一个看似混沌不清的故事，实则让多种理念相互缠绕，继而生发出更为宏大的主题。蒂贝特用自身极富特色的影像语言，试图去演绎哲学上的三大终极问题：是谁？来自哪里？要到哪里去？
世界被毁灭之后的样子，即使不理解剧情，也能感受到情绪和各种视觉冲击 。居然是2021年，我还以为上世纪的片子
把所有令人不适的意象放在了一起，让人有些看不懂。
定格动画实验片，想象力邪恶而夸张，唯一的意义可能是，展示自己作为电影工业的一环，有多极致吧
每一帧都是噩梦，实在佩服导演自己能够坚持做这么多年。
很顶，四舍五入有我的梦一半那么HiFi吧
我虽然很喜欢精神污染的东西，但这…抽象的毫无道理，是制作者自嗨的作品。大兵哥摆完炸弹被抓走之前还不错，后面简直无聊到爆炸。
看不懂，但我大受震撼。不过我看到了稀疏的中国味。
