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.
《高文想自杀》感谢守望电影加班加点赶制翻译，不过能看出质量也很仓促了
人和动物如何友善相处 真是个有趣的且非常重要的问题！
诱惑、恐惧、贪恋这些东西布满影片各个角落，加上影片在摄影、打光以及构图和一些奇幻元素使得整部片子有着一种迷人的气质
没有明白很多表意的符号与道具，大体意思就是试炼闯关，成为骑士
The real honor comes when u give up the pursuit of honor
多好的动物题材啊，没拍出太吸引我的节奏。也许是动物演员不好找吧？
尸骨旋转镜头—大卫洛维标签 这次我更喜欢母体巨人
所有的星给服化道，然而看下来是个寂寞。#北游记
亚瑟王的侄子是一个印度阿三，在砍了绿衣骑士的头后，又为了履行约定历尽艰辛跑到绿衣教堂被绿衣骑士砍头
醒着的时候会觉得拍得好漂亮，但大多时候昏昏欲睡………结束时仿佛过了一生那么漫长。
感觉很魔幻现实 也很荒诞无力 画面不错 打光不错 高文角色坐在王座上一度以为他要唱rap
不过以chapter的形式来叙事感觉有点偷懒，削弱了旅程和故事的连贯性，导致有几段游戏感很强烈，可能也是骑士故事中难以忽略掉巫术这个要素，会有点出戏。
别闹了，纯视听的意义是什么？本子改得这么烂！所以女巫召唤出来绿衣骑士的目的是啥？如果说是叫板圆桌骑士，她没有算出来自己儿子迎战？如果是培养孩子勇气，让他建功立业，她没有预测到绿衣骑士最后会杀了自己儿子？还是女巫就是想杀了儿子高文？动机又是啥？
传统骑士故事的顶级视听改编，反骑士故事中的骑士精神讴歌。华丽、诡谲而迷幻。
所谓的“成长”，就是越来越能接受自己本来的样子，也能更好地和孤单的自己、失落的自己、失败的自己相处，并且接受他，然后面对他。 无论将来会遇到谁，生活都是先从遇到自己开始的。
动物电影里的人类不仅多余，还显得自作多情… 加拿大好美啊，这两年要找机会去。
每次去dt都会路过依托比克的cineplex，好像今年半年都挂着一个很大的这部的海报而我一直以为是个什么超英片（。倍速看就还行 成为骑士的历练
7/10 故事被改得有点过了。摄影配乐都是A24喜闻乐见水平
看到Skywalker工作室的名字笑了，近期又一部音乐和音效主导叙事的惊喜；视觉奇观太少，荒原的骑行全景被浪费；字体花里胡哨的章节体出戏但是仿佛拥有intermezzo music，事实上每一处高潮戏份的起承转合皆由浓墨重彩的音效烘托，快速剪辑的绿衣骑士初次登场段落比结尾的幻想蒙太奇震撼数倍！可惜中段实在没有什么记忆点
看着看着就开始哼
