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.
虽然我对我们社会的一些欲盖弥彰也不是很赞同 但是真心觉得天下乌鸦一般黑 结合今天发生的事也没觉得民主自由就好多少 都是闹剧一场
I have never been on trial for my thoughts before.
结案陈词真剪短，这剧本写得可真不错！我爱着我的国家，用着我们自己的方式！
这才是左派电影应有的态度，通过异常理性的角度展现tg下当代左派以卵击石的挣扎。谁才是真正的暴徒？是谁创造了这个词？又是谁来定义这个词的意义？如果你不是规则的制定者那么除了闭嘴听话能做什么呢？当我们探讨爱国，我们是否应该确定究竟什么才是国家，是人民还是tg。历史不断重演，还是原来的配方，还是熟悉的味道，屡试不爽。
托马斯·杰斐逊：异议，才是爱国的最高形式~！
影片的意义很大，一场民运，一场庭审，进步的一个节点，全世界都在看。也从另一个角度表达了美国国内对越战的态度。关于“七君子”的背景故事不想花时间了解太多，单从影片的叙事，不能说寡淡无味，但也没什么太大的情绪波动，也就是看看“别人”而已。从影片上线到观影这段时间，国内正在疯狂的通过影视庆祝伟大的抗美援朝胜利，美国还是酒吧里的50S的样子。因为思想被审判，还有什么比这个更悲哀的事……三星半
两个正面双男主都是英国人演的，这要放到中国不得被骂死。这类型的历史最好还是看纪录片。看完电影后在维基百科翻阅半个小时，得到的信息都比看这部电影多
法官大概是被告派的卧底，帮助被告塑造受害者形象
自由和权利之间的抗争是个永远不会结束的死循环。
大胆预言一下: 冲奥➡️引爆内网舆论➡️引起各方撕逼(包括被gd利用以及被粉红嘲讽等等
虽然很多人不太喜欢艾伦·索金，可我就是看他写的东西觉得爽啊。而且这次的案件，仿佛就是一个纪录片一般。场景穿插也比较好理解了，庭上辩护也是精彩的。但是看多了律政类案件的我就想问，不能换法官？这么biased法官，不能提审换一个么，可烦死我了。
用了大量的蒙太奇使叙事有节奏和趣味性，每个人物的性格都很张扬，演员演得很好。政治意义大于故事本身吧。
片尾曲缓缓唱道“let us make a world in which I believe”, sounds attempting but how selfish, and unfortunately this has always been the American ideology.
好像是我印象中唯一一部正面描述法官不公的影片，好像几乎所有的职业都可以黑，维度法官不可以~
Best liberal porn in a while and had a nice shout out to Brandeis lol.
反战思潮、嬉皮文化、五月风暴，那是“整个世界都进入了青春期”的六十年代。
众星云集飙戏飙得舒畅爆了，摄影和剪辑把这个老套的真实故事又玩出了一些新意，虽然最后还是主旋律了一把lol，片长限制每个角色只能在有限的时间里刻画所以都不太深刻，反映出的时代，台词我都很喜欢，总体上呈。
"Inside the bar, it's like the '60s never happened. Outside the bar, the '60s were being performed for anyone who looked out of the window."
前几天刚听了美国出兵越南的那段历史，对这部影片的理解能更深一点。叙事方式和节奏特别好，棕黄与深黑的色调契合那个年代，也符合影片所表达的主题。萨莎拜伦科恩太牛哔了！一个高逼格拧巴喜剧片演员，也能吼住这种严肃题材和复杂角色，且毫不费力，还入木三分，瑞思拜！如果说开场看到他我还下意识笑出来的话，到了影片中段我已经完全被“艾比”这个人物抓住了。混不吝、吊儿郎当的外表下，其实是一个有着甚至可以说过于理想化的政治追求，并富有深厚政治积淀的灵魂，只是他的性格不屑与这世俗秩序为伍，否则他可能是个政治家，虽然很大程度上可能是悲剧性的。影视作品也负有反思历史的责任。
【9.2分】等待了这么多年，终于官宣了，太不容易了，小兰看新一的短信时的表情真就是由内而外的开心和害羞，太开心了……
