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.
喜欢后半段确认关系部分，爱情还是刚开始和暧昧的时候最好看。喜欢女主可爱的脸搭小烟嗓
是不是所有的爱情最终都只会结束啊？不管分手后会一直记得你生日、时不时想起一些过往，还是一如既往痴痴地等一个人，还是释怀放下，其实都能坦荡面对就好了吧。
在Josh家看的 不知道为了什么哭唧唧 都怪到荷尔蒙那去吧
不只是稍微想起一些的碎片。每次热烈过后的消失，留下的都是夜以继日的幻灯片，无论跨越了多长时间。以及，好想当一个打工人生活。
想起来总是有些遗憾的吧，毕竟我们曾一起那样憧憬过未来…
3.5 所以只要把一个平常的爱情故事倒叙 就能获得还不错的唏嘘感
3.5两个人一点都不搭，但是那个伊藤妹子有种神奇的的味道啊哈哈哈，比花束更好
“爱是相互依赖的存在吗”“爱并不是有意识地要去做某件事情，毕竟也不是为了得到感谢或者回报才去爱对方。爱这条路走不通的话，不如及时退出。”“是这样吗?”“这样才好”“因为大家也并非都那么坚强。谁在想着谁，信任着谁，那些将人与人紧密连接起来的，感觉呀，想法呀，转换成语言的话，一下就会变味哦。”
7分，张子枫真的好厉害，在这部戏里面，不但形象更好了（也是长开了），演技也非常强。有几场戏完全不像在表演，好像就是她正在经历那样的生活，太自然了。相比之下，吴磊反而涩一点，只能说勉强对应哪个角色吧。将青春爱情话题，注入成长、面对自己等话题，还是挺有想法的，包括18岁才迈入那个club，也是对进入成年人光怪陆离的世界的一种明示了。作为青春爱情片，还是有点新的元素的。
正是《花束》所缺少的
大一的短片剧本写过类似的故事，被泼冷水。后来看到好几个类似结构。有点可惜。
劇本裡告白part說伊藤麗莎演的角色嗓音奇怪的形容好耳熟ㄟ，記不起哪部了⋯⋯
比起《花束》更喜欢这部 更能让我感受到共鸣 节奏特别的慢 一点一点抓住我的心 总觉得和我很像 说话有时候很墨迹吧hahaha 好怀念水族馆 夜晚稀少人群的街道 拿着同一瓶啤酒的ふたり 在出租车上放着歌 当然也憧憬过一些..zzzz
太好看了，这种剪辑，这种叙事，没想到花束这种电影之后又开启了一片天，哈哈，谈恋爱干嘛要在一起啊，就是用来回忆的啊～～～～真好～好爱女主😋
另外，相比之下村上对女性司机的刻画太自以为是
本来就喜欢「地球之夜」，无意间看到这部 再看名字 海报和演员表，感觉就是我喜欢的类型。越看越喜欢 越心痛 特别是后半段，“只是回想起”，追溯过去在你我记忆里闪光的片段，只是今天突然想吃蛋糕，摸到时间的脉动后天空也显得些许寂寞。
依旧是日式慢节奏电影，用倒序的结构讲了一个略微遗憾的爱情故事。和你相处过的每个细节都刻在了我的身体里，而我依旧可以坦然的继续前进，只是稍微想起一些关于你的事。
伊藤莎莉很可爱，但是她和男主的cp感就见仁见智了。剧情很平淡，时间线也挺混乱，看着看着开始懵逼，思考这到底是回忆还是现实。
爱情的开始和结束都不在一瞬间，随着时间细微的变化只有自己清楚
