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.
刚开始还不错 后面对我就比较勉强了
我对这个片的滤镜已经厚到人生中第一次觉得中年人的患得患失好可爱！吃醋也好可爱！
我愿你拿着细细的皮鞭，不断轻轻打在我身上。
有时候觉得两个人都挺温柔的，有时候觉得有点过于礼貌而显得生疏
就算没想好要过怎样的人生也要想啊，不能什么都想要
女主颜我真的舔舔…后面看得我心梗，宗教信仰这玩意儿就是容不得txl，我说上帝你为什么这么恨！最后又眼泪纵横，“about a million times….you should have been there.”😭……还能怎么发展啊……看到孩子我真的两眼一抹黑
- I think about you all the time. About us. Do you? - Everyday.
情欲戏性张力拉满，很抓人，但导演就是个三流导演。内容和形式都有很大程度的问题，故事过于简单，而叙事却不够流畅，特别是前面几处转折非常生硬，很不自然。影片有些对话拍得含含糊糊，不清不楚，不懂导演处处留白的艺术。最烦的是导演没有能力用画面和语言建立起一个立体的女二形象，导致很多地方都觉得女二做事逻辑莫名其妙，没头没尾。看完就是又暴躁又遗憾。
演员之间的性张力绝了，终于知道什么是一眼万年，一见钟情了。相遇、相知、相爱的过程一气呵成，挠人心神，美得不像话，氛围感拉满。宗教背景使得整个影片充满禁忌感，青春物语。
哪里都好，就是这个结局苦死了，越看越像违命前传（不是/捂脸哭哭…两个人的火花和性张力都快呲我脸上了，演得真好
年度外语十佳备选。意外挖到的宝藏电影，有点类似前两年的《真心半解》，轻松舒适的观感，而不同于别的青春电影的是巧妙地融入了宗教背景，包括剧情最大冲突也是在此，关于爱情和信仰的抉择；最最好看的当然就是两位女主的火花，尤其是前半段的暧昧到中间的甜蜜，以及最后别离的悲伤，而宗教背景给予了这段感情一种特殊的禁忌感。从厕所背后拥抱到浴室洗礼，从车内激吻到海边漫步，既青涩又充裕的性张力。结尾简直就是恐婚恐育教科书。
爱可以很私人，但爱也不由人。接受但不被认可，幸好都没有想过放弃的两个人。可，爱，不就是要在一起吃好多顿饭吗，陪你到处吃街灯晚餐亦欢喜。
''I know it's could be confusing at your age.''
气氛太到位了，还有细节。学习圣经时的手指摩擦触碰，洗手间隔间的从背后拥抱，太让人心动啦。多亏了这个真理教，让通篇充满了禁忌感，尤其是那个在浴缸受洗（doi）非常刺激。开始把杰米塑造的很不良，抽烟逃课，结果玛丽卡才是最疯批的那个。最后挽留杰米时说的那段话简直了。看到结局我知道了，玛丽卡只是想要一个捐精人，最后都是计划好的。开着车带着孩子和杰米远走高飞！（后备箱肯定行李都收拾好了X
可能我永远都无法理解信仰如此之深的人，并且一代一代的传下去，
不知道是不是少了个导演的关系 和剧和sp有点差距 节奏上没有那么舒服
确实是青少年版违命吧，虽然我们不受宗教信仰的困扰，但是那种压抑还是会感同身受到
左小人有得姬片看就不错了，右小人拍得如此无趣真的不行。（怎么翻来覆去还是唯美刻意，苦大仇深
2022年7月：15日→在豆瓣电影网页版看到这部电影时只有原名《You Can Live Forever》，但因为不到300人评价的8.5分而产生兴趣；19日→决定观影时已经有了简体中文名《唯爱永存》；20日→观看正片时，发现简体中文名变成了《永生永世》；看完电影写记录时，主译名又被改回了《唯爱永存》，还多了个又名《爱无止境》。
西岛秀俊，梦中情男！！怎么会有这么帅这么温柔的人，他一笑我真的整个化掉！好爱这部剧，我可以看他们幸福生活一辈子，美食环节也很加分！看到善良的两个人彼此爱护彼此珍重，平淡又美好地生活着，幸福得让人要哭，甚至有点难过……相互误会的情节太可爱了哈哈哈，内心活动笑死我了。两人演技绝绝绝！配角也都很招人喜欢。
