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.
在现代可能立案的机会都不会给，从正义伸张总有渠道的目标来看，还有个国王给大家一场公平的决斗，并且有让原告被告说谎的代价的制度，反而是挺含智慧的。比滴血认亲，比举证困难因此不立案的科学思维好的多。
亚当司机的帅就是那种，帅的程度感觉刚刚落在渣男或者海王那一档之下一点点，trick你他仿佛是好人里最帅的那一档，但转身就看到他一脸无辜的在用力草一匹母马….
这竟然是部女权电影！这当然是部女权电影！缺位也是一种表达，忽视也是一种控诉。
好 真的好 虽然是个罗生门式叙事但并没不玩高深不玩暗示不玩隐喻 是那种浅显的与民同乐的好 同时还也有精彩故事有现实意义 大本和马达参与编剧又是一层乐趣 真·娱乐大片
最后的决斗，冷兵相对，精彩到恍惚间自觉不能呼吸，屏息凝视，拍的真好啊。
似乎“不接种就不给绿码”的玄疑故事，此片以“尊严-名誉-虚荣”交织“knife-wife-life”，女的要“爱拼才会赢”，男的是“爱赢才会拼”，男的决斗赢了，最后只有往耶路撒冷拼去了……如此看来，还是《道士下山》里暗含的“接种”比较委曲（不是“委屈”）。
看完我还在想，所以片名“天鹅挽歌”的寓意是什么。我女朋友竟然一语中的：“因为天鹅在湖面上的倒影，就是由两个自己，组成的一个爱心呀。”
可以可以，我老婆看的爽死了，吃了两包麻辣肉~一个橘子~几块牛肉干
复调拍法，对中世纪女性性侵案件的三个视角的呈现，分别是绿帽、施暴者、当事人。和罗生门一样每个人都只能陈述对自己有利的部分忽略掉缺点，而恰恰应该最被重视的女性当事人的证词是最不重要的，女性只是男性的财产而已，千百年来都没变过。
公说公有理婆说婆有理，交给上帝，真相不重要，上帝就是真相
四平八稳，罗生门叙事，权贵与虚荣，超时代女性；最后决斗的十几分钟超级精彩
黑镜看多了，中后程都在等着出什么大情况。结果没有，一切顺利地结束。故略有怅然。
玛格丽特是不幸的，因为两个男人都无非把她当做占有物来玩弄，但她同时也是幸运的，因为她活了下了，得以说出自己的故事。可以说是雷公版本的《切腹》，对patriarchy的完美讥讽，真正的人性诗篇。
眼神里都是戏～非常温馨的科幻电影，本以为这么高科技如此像《黑镜》会是惊悚剧情hhh
本片的优点集结于展示男性对于自身以及自我行为的臆想性美化，将女性当作财产以及生育工具的麦迪文和风流并觉得“No means Yes"的司机的视角中从来只有自己，嘲讽二人伪善。但三条线的信息差很小，主要是展现不同的情绪，因此重复的观感并不算好。很理解为什么老雷要特地标出真相，但这从纯文本角度出发是很无力的一次标记。
克隆人这个题材，其实已经没什么新鲜玩意可说了。不过本片直接越过了常见的“伦理困境”这个角度，从选择了如何平静的告别、如何与过去与自己和解这个角度。阿里的表演令人动容。冲奥重点选手无疑了。
后面表达有些泛滥，导致节奏拖，有点掉鸡皮疙瘩。视听和表演都超一流，就这么几个人这么几个景，搞了一出临终关怀好戏
一个故事的三个版本 中世纪的故事在21世纪依然重演
看着它的眼睛听我说，我爱你！！
实属洪尚秀和黑泽明合拍版角斗士了。雷老头真的牛逼这个岁数了还搞的出精雕细琢版小格局史诗。/7.9
