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.
影片后劲儿非常强！属于那种值得反复推敲、细细咂摸的类型，每一个小故事、小篇章，都有着满满的小细节和小格调，总是能最快的调动起大脑里的情绪。
铛铛生日那天去看的，带着他的一个小伙伴武汉下着蒙蒙细雨，我带着两个娃跑到很远的电影院（全武汉只有几家电影院有）然后在电影院下面的肯德基买了薯条和鸡米花，去到电影院还买了大桶的爆米花。只有我们三个人的电影院我们吃着喝着看完了整部电影，他们两个印象最深刻的是哼哈二将。我自己比较喜欢小兔子🐰、萤火虫女孩、糖水阿伯，其他几个写实风的不是我的爱…😂几个四川话的动画配音我听不惯
温暖又感人，可以触碰到你心里最柔软的地方。
《小火车》：向着光亮，走出阴霾。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》：时代在变，不变的是人情味。《哼将军和哈将军》：“水火不容”的两小兄弟，感叹真实。《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》：记忆翻涌，汇成思念。
天很冷，心很暖。挺特别的动画形式，风格各异，水平也各异，但是所表达的主题是一样，带给人的温暖也是一样的。不是特别商业化的电影，但是希望它能有好的预期吧，毕竟我么要向着明亮那方。
七个单元故事里 最喜欢赵易导演的《小火车》
个人最喜欢小火车和后面偏写实的故事
场面调度的流畅和其中的想象力很大程度上弥补了故事的单薄。当然以儿童为主要受众的电影不一定需要严密翔实的故事线。
七部风格迥异的动画短片放在一起，就如同一本童话故事集，温暖而不失美好，最爱《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，大概亲情最能引起人们共鸣 尤其是祖孙之间！——2022.1.15于苏州吴江自由人影城
七部不同的短篇用了七种不同的动画技术写了七个的简单绘本故事。其中不乏很多传统的动画技术，动画艺术学院学生们的作品，后生可期！我会比较喜欢火车，饭店，乡下奶奶，糖水这几个贴近现实，讲诉平民百姓的故事，展现全国各地各式各样的人生。
画风都很赞，但是主题差距有点大，小朋友有点没法完全接受，这个合集定位有一点点问题，涉及面太广，亲子，隔代，朋友，成长，童心，大人看太浅，小孩看太深。感谢增票，加半星
当外婆的铁皮柜被打开，我跟主人公一起经历了人生中的重要时刻。外婆的一个个物件，像是流水一般从铁皮柜中流了出来，我们都对外婆充满了好奇，不敢想象这曾经也是组成某个生命体一生的碎片之一。此刻，无需台词，无需音乐，动画天生的镜头表现力就足够敲响人们心中的鼓。
最后还有一个小小小彩蛋
《翼娃子》6岁以上
相信每个人都能在7个小故事里看到一些自己的身影
而外公，则是老得只剩两颗牙，笑起来眼睛眯成一条缝，亲昵地叫我“一把琪”，可爱极了
《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》
《小火车》：向着光亮，走出阴霾。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》：时代在变，不变的是人情味。《哼将军和哈将军》：“水火不容”的两小兄弟，感叹真实。《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》：记忆翻涌，汇成思念。
已经很少遇到一部电影，看到中间想站起来为其鼓掌了，幸运的是，我遇到了。
喜欢《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》、《翼娃子的星期天》结尾BGM响起的时候 直接泪崩(⸝⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̥́⌑ᵒ̴̶̣̥̀⸝⸝⸝)生活的火车悬空驶过 驶向更美好的未来
