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.
层层反转确实有些别扭，不过敢拍也是确实敢拍。
文化要自信，先要放开约束，绑手绑脚怎么自信？绑人的在那喊自信有什么用？
观影后，我仿佛已经看到一个庞然大物正在缓慢崛起了，当某些群体习惯性的圈地自娱、一叶障目的放眼世界时，只会尽可能的把别人的不足摆在明面上借以衬托自身的优越，自身的恶劣极尽所能的掩藏起来。反观印度已经开始明白书写满文明只能让现实变得更加野蛮这道理。民主制度和反思的力量并不会如极权般的统治那样即刻发挥效力，但是可以胜在悠久绵长。激素只能兴奋一时，后患却是无穷的。不出意外，此消彼长之间最多三十到三十五年，这个可怕的邻居必将取代“某…”成为世界第二大经济体。
戏剧性拉满，他们已经不满足于揭露和批判高犯罪率的现实，开始将矛头对准玩弄权术的政客和社会制度。虽然改变很缓慢，但这是个有希望的国家。
阿三真正的开始崛起了，至少可以自我审视。电影的黑暗是为了现实的光明。有的地方电影只拍光明而是掩盖黑暗。
开场其实觉得会得奖的，只是渐渐地……就是说，又一部印度神剧呀！
汉克斯演技自不必说，狗狗是个惊喜，把对机器人的嫌弃演得活灵活现。
一个完全不科幻的故事,讲人和人的连接,讲父亲和孩子,讲孤独和世界.
这是拍给印度人看的吗？不止，这是拍给人看的
前半部分和后半部分在主题上的选择上真是极限反转，也只有印度这个神奇的国家才能诞生这种电影。这片的风格跟《万岁毕姆》很相似，前半部分就是印度人民受难图鉴，真正的主角出场很晚，而且很扁平化、神格化，仍带有一丝阿三开挂的调调在里面，虽然本片也在修补这一点，添加了一个冗长的结尾试图丰富一下主角的过往，但反而显得狗尾续貂
印度人对自己社会问题反省和批判的力度让我们汗颜，虽然表现手法直白幼稚了一点，还是给个高分支持。
还是印度敢拍，咱们应该也有类似的事件，但绝不会搬到大荧幕上去的。民众、舆论是很容易煽动的，所以咱们的言论管控很严，想让我们知道的我们会知道，不想让我们知道的我们也不会发现。
谁能想到，末世之下人工智能是因为要照顾一条狗被创造出来呢？
这是一个13亿人都在追寻的真相。
就为了 印度敢拍这个题材，给了五颗行星。。虽然，庭审过于幼稚了。。另外，后面结尾太过匆匆。。。
作为退学博士，
还想说一句
末日生存独角戏，狗狗很加分。但当科幻电影看其实算比较平庸那种。
四星全给题材 如果不是题材 真的没办法给一部2个多小时的MV这么多星……
这不是个人工智能反叛的科幻片，而是一个温情的公路片，有着冲突与和解，孤独与温情，《芬奇》的末日设定和人类的资源掠夺只是引子，影片中芬奇和机器人杰夫的对话才是核心，一路上的朋友式的交心是杰夫的成长源泉，也是芬奇的人生反思，大桥的美不在于多少钉子，而是桥上的风景，结尾不禁让我想起去年看《心灵奇旅》的那份感动了，疫情期间看这个电影，有一种格外的温暖在心头，汤姆汉克斯的表演非常加分，看的非常享受。（8.5/10）
