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.
之前看了无缘社会对这个电影感受更深了 对日本社会有所了解的话看起来应该不会那么无聊 反映日本深刻的社会现实问题 就是有点冗长了 清原果耶演的真好~
很不错看的电影，讲的很深入，探究社会和政府福利的问题:低保的申请以及发放，老奶奶生活困难却因为福利部的推脱以及对抛弃的女人的面子问题无法申请到低保导致死亡引发了一些列的杀人案件，最后不在于杀人凶手有多凶残，而在地震后政府的不作为未对困难的人给予应有的保障。kaya酱演的真棒！！！尤其绑架那时候眼神很到位，不愧是最佳女配角，实至名归！！！
在我心中和ひとよ一样，就题材和情节展开来说其实可以拍的更好，但也不算差了。喜欢几段插叙和节奏。佐藤健真鸡儿帅，回忆里和果耶的几个镜头很养眼。
也许我喜爱的，只是它的彻底癫狂和作为背景的庞大梦境
结合疫情有一些新思考，纵有再多智慧，自然面前的人类是何其渺小。
“这当然是你的幻境，但它也是真实”幻境亦作为突触的暂时连接和神经细胞间的电活动而物理性地存在，只是它转瞬即逝，我们的眼睛无法看清
8+
3.5星。那些得不到保护的人，要发出自己的声音，要发出比那些卑劣者更坚定更理直气壮的声音。
电影很平，但是28′左右有内田慈小姐出演诶，好久不见~
情绪化主导太重（311症结），导致推理部分显得太浅。主要探讨日本社保福利政策从制定到执行过程中所存在的一些问题，透过凶杀案引申普通民众对社会体系不健全的诘问，从侧面展现贫富阶级壁垒、日式耻感文化、以及灾后由社会环境到个体心理都在进行极为艰难的重塑。寡淡无味的社会派行活儿，清原表现亮眼。得到保护的人们和得不到的人们，其中的界线到底在哪里？也许电影也无法给予我们答案。
大概猜到了结局。提前规划养老储备金很重要，呜呜。
三星半，这么低的分，不喜欢的人应该是觉得太扯太荒诞太文艺腔了，比起爱情片更像是一部思考生命意义的狂想曲(虽然这么说太俗了)，所以后半部才是不老奇事也只是男主的幻想而已，并不是科幻。王朔这么多年了还是在表达“成功不就是挣点钱让傻逼们知道吗” ，不过这样的“烂片”比那些庸俗的烂片可强多了
有的人，一住进心里，就是一辈子。
后面tm越来越扯
看了一个小时，大概是那个小女孩儿是罪犯吧，拉到最后果然是，剧情还是有些平淡，比起身边正在发生的事情，还是欠缺一些感染力。
影片节奏真的非常缓慢，就好像慢慢去体会那种失去亲人的伤痛。日本大地震造成的海啸真的是摧毁了好多的家庭，人们也都在艰难中努力生存。
残缺抱团捱苦年，官家低保吝发放。
电影探讨的问题很现实，很发人深省，演员也演得很好，只是节奏上显得拖沓。
震后创伤主要落脚点在老年人的福利漏洞上，在当下这个全球混乱的年代很应景，活着就很不易的主题每个人都能共情，弱势得不到应有关照更是全世界的问题。可能最近负能量太多麻木了，这种主题看的心如止水。
各种细节 用心了
