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.
本应探讨克隆深层次的矛盾，最后被廉价的情感替代了。
现在已经活在虚拟现实的世界中了。挽歌长鸣。
哥们就是喜欢这种一年到头下雨的大闷片
一个凄美的爱情科幻故事，但却有种细思极恐的感觉。不过仅凭那些唯美的画面也可以打五星啦。
从题材到视觉到配乐乃至声效都完成度颇高的一部佳作。不知道是否应该感谢现代/未来科技（或许也可以说是另一种“神力”），让我们真正做到了与自己和解，找回内心的平静。胡思乱想一下：假如那部法国影片“爱 Amour”的男女主角能接触这样的科技，那么。。。全片结构很工整，但感觉节奏有点平，或许还可以紧凑点，又或许营造前后段篇幅着力的差异感，或许能让观众有更强的沉浸感。
涉及伦理纲常和人格侵犯，很多事情都那么模糊，最明朗坚定的是贯穿整篇是爱。克隆本是一个科幻的主题，却用温情的故事来讲述，用本体的视角去窥探，仿佛Jack不是克隆人，就是卡梅隆身体的延续、为卡梅隆完成他以后的人生。
有钳真好！只换不修。 我认为最大的败笔是前后2人面对面。都100%复制了，为什么不让克隆人坚信自己就是原来那个唯一的自己？
整片有种迷人的气质，拍得很美。软科幻，一直贯穿的是爱和关怀。
充满了爱的电影，虽然是悲剧，虽然在反对技术一切论，但生老病死难道不是人作为生物的一部份么？好可爱的🐶！
在短片体量的故事里把情感翻来覆去的探讨，阿里的表演还是这么稳，继续下去很难有一天不拿到男主。
未来感太强了，癌症是终结人类的终极武器，再强的科技也不能在本体上延续，不过，所谓本体，又如何
apple出品 所以男主画图的 女主搞音乐 是伐 平淡了点
（但是说实话，我接受不了这种事）
最后一段，破防了，看着他的眼睛说我爱你
克隆人的思路和同样是Apple TV+出品的《基地》如出一辙，个人觉得本片被低估了
节奏很棒，导演处女长片 请来绿皮书主角，很喜欢男主的表现，很多未来世界的细节也很到位，没有维和和强加于人的感觉。
电影没有预期中的精彩，不过让我想到了一句古话：人之将死其言也善。而故事中主人公临死前这最后一曲天鹅挽歌，究竟是善，还是恶，似乎是一个接近哲学层次是命题，看似简单，但有太多的问题需要探讨。电影给出了其中的一种可能，一种结局，以此回应我们关于科技、生物、人伦与未来如何达成和解或者统一的设想。必须承认，这个回应是不完美的，但或许这并不重要，重要的是，通过这个不完美的设想，引发更多的人去思考它、完善它，因为终有一天这个设想将在真实的世界中成为现实。因此，如今的思考和探讨，即便荒诞、甚至不着边际，都是充满意义的。
结尾always have always will带给人的无力感，实在是一种最佳的留白方式。
想着找部片子来疗愈一下 好嘛 如此深沉的课题 值得思考 唉 心思又加重了
三星半吧!看的过程一直觉得会有反转,怪自己思想太过复杂😂
