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.
你说他是为了民族大义吧，好像也不是，也不是为了钱，只能理解是为了理想吧，诸葛亮是不是也是这样想的。
薛叔依旧演技在线，对比第一次看叔的《薄荷糖》时，叔已经老了不少了，心痛(╯︵╰,)
不记得之前是读到哪位智者的文字：“就算事件不是真实的，但由这事件引发的情感总是真实的。”即使政客们舞刀弄枪，戏弄着大部分的情感，但只要这些情感依然向着正义，那就仍然值得被拯救。
所以 可以说没有一个西八总统是干干净净的嘛？这是可以说的吗？
把韩国政治前半段拍的有点儿戏，后半段又拍的太过于沉闷
亚里士多德说要致力于正义的秩序，城邦以正义为原则。柏拉图说为了正义可以不择手段去实现。柏拉图是亚里士多德的老师。双男主戏，都是为了结束独裁、实现民主的目标，但手段大相径庭，在首尾呼应的“偷鸡蛋”一事中就可以明显看到处理的方法不同，大概也是理想主义者与现实主义者的区别吧。演员都是好戏之人，“民主选举”的相互倾轧、尔虞我诈、勾心斗角也足够精彩，可惜看的是机译字幕，减一星。。。
故事完整而紧凑，导演的运镜非常讲究，光线明暗教科书级别的调度。双男主的对手戏拳拳到肉，薛景求内敛而又有力的表演，李善均也并不逊色，韩国的政治片真是世界顶级水平。
制作精良，演员表演上乘，不过对比南山的部长，剧本的紧张感不够，节奏不是很稳的感觉，李善均和薛景求都是非常优秀的演员，看他们演戏，绝对是一种享受。
韩国琅琊榜。将选举斗争描写成斗大胆的嘴皮子赌博游戏，缺乏经济基础的描写，内容稍微单薄了，人物的斗争也没有变化成长，一直是理想和现实的纠缠。果然是民主党的电影。
想要光明磊落，以纯粹正义之路登上权力的顶峰，是不现实的。实际一点就是看谁够狠。
【22】 ————— 🔴 2022【32】 🔵 韩国【14】
两个理想主义者的失败，一个信念的背叛与崩塌，一个理想被现实打败，可耻的懦弱的背叛者，导致理想的溃败，🥚理想者的脊梁一直坚挺着。也许这不是政治，而是童话。
價值觀不同,註定要分道揚鑣.
亮点是那个局长，像功夫里的酱爆，演得真好，喜欢。
化妆师能不能稍微认真点 金云范简直20年没变化。。。
这阵容说是请了韩国半个电影圈子的人也不为过，用虚构的故事呈现金大中曲折的政途，把政治中面子与里子的关系编织的足够精彩，片子中很多问题都作了留白处理，其实直观的把答案或者真相给到观众效果会更好，当然如果是拍给自己人看的主旋律当我没说。
棒子顯然是拍這類電影拍出了心得，拍出了質量。但這部影片不是太出彩
高尚是高尚者的墓志铭。
正在看大秦帝国之纵横 这是张仪去了韩国嘛？
韩国每年都会有几部关于政治的电影，这部也还不错。
