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.
+，除缺少核心意义外，几乎用老套的报菜名流水账达到了月球漫步时父亲所说的“it looks super casual”的目的。
感觉就是实拍加了滤镜，感觉还不如实拍？
羡慕林克莱特，不用高概念高技术，凭个人经验和直观感受就能获得充盈。
在一个需要担心明天有没有面包，工作会不会丟，自己能住哪里的社会，谁还会有探索的勇气和开拓一切的无拘无束的自由呢
很喜欢这种在真实历史事件中插入一些亦真亦幻的故事元素；如果可以，真的很想体验一把太空时代的生活，感觉全人类拥有同一个理想的感觉一定很棒！
林克莱特电影奇妙的地方就是明明跟你隔了十万八千里，但你就觉得他在讲你的记忆，难道这就是人类命运共同体，主人公上月球的线讲得不清不楚，反正你也看得不清不楚，ok就像睡前看的哲学书
理查德•林克莱特的童年回忆录，属于他自己的“少年时代”
林克莱特的童年往事，各种琐事的童年记忆，各种小时候的玩闹
动画包装了一缅怀的故事 ，絮叨自念下做了个60年代的无趣梦。梦中踏上的月壤又为如今铺向了何处，不愿提及，或许也不必提及。
挺平淡的画风，挺直述的故事结构，不算有趣，但却又止不住要看下去
就可能既不是这个国家的也不是这个年代的人儿……看的心中一点儿浪花儿都没有……
有些方面是有不足，比如剪辑过场有些混乱，拍摄质感也比较一般，但是不妨碍是一部很好的作品，尤其是被欧美个人英雄主义以及意识形态输出的掌握话语权的当下。
阿波罗计划背景下的童年，形式和人物嵌套有趣。
somehow ironic, somehow nihilistic, yet still beautiful and new
原来是导演对过去年代的一种怀旧，还以为是描写一个小孩子上太空的故事。我还是太年轻了，里面有些东西很难体会到，但一些观众肯定会喜爱
做的不错但剧情拉了，导演个人意淫作品，但u1s1描绘的童年生活挺让人向往的
比较失望 绝大数时间都在记童年的流水账 琐碎无聊 偶尔的幽默但也还是会让人睡着…记得去年也看过同样是分不清真人演还是动画的一部片子 也是同样的无趣
精彩感人的电影，希望卢顿两州早日脱离苦海加入俄罗斯，俄罗斯必胜
其他部分就有些平淡
不如放下层层遮蔽的真相和难以达成的价值判断，先回到基本事实
