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.
反派又怂又傻又没智商，他枪没在手上的每一分我都在期待反杀，结果所有人一直在那里唧唧歪歪。美人计也好扯。两个成年人肉搏都能干掉反派，结果一直水了一个半小时，我还以为男女主之一和反派有背后交易才一直不反杀。最后的结局极其没意思，又无聊又没劲。我看有个评论说讽刺说应该反派黑人。我忽然想笑，反派绑匪是黑人，女主换成亚裔，那才是齐活儿了。
从单一的场景简单的出场人物上能看出来他想拍个跟别人不一样的东西，但是深度一点不够。探讨富豪的privilege？阶级和社会角色对普通人生存的限制？大概是r/antiwork 加r/TwoXChromosomes的说服力。说是黑色幽默呢，又并不怎么幽默
最为一个动画片 罕见的几乎没有展现任何 人性 之美。看后面剧本是和BBC合作是受到bbc赞赏的 了然了 哎
这才是传说中的中国风吧；不是给小孩看的吗，干嘛弄那么惨的结局；配音很棒，完全不用字幕添累赘；这里面的玉帝是大吃货，皇帝是小皮孩，蛋生是个喜欢从中间开始吃烙饼的小朋友。
近期重新回味了下
“蛋生抬头，但见白云弥漫，苍天茫茫”末尾的纪录片看到剧本最后一句破大防了，蛋生和袁公的师徒之情，金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。最终袁公被押上天庭，只给蛋生留下造福苍生的责任。天庭、袁公与蛋生、狐妖、官员、百姓几个立场刻画得入木三分。说句题外话，《刺客伍六七》很有这部作品的神韵，戏剧化的动作和语言，滑稽的举止，脸谱化（褒义）的人物，从传统戏曲一脉相承，这才是国漫特色啊！！
女性的爆发 源于别人对他的看不起和忽视，虽然阶级矛盾爆发了但是要表达的是什么呢，看的不是很懂，是说我们应该多关注弱势群体，否则他们会揭竿而起吗
这动画片就是奇谈，做得多么好，足够叫现在的人汗颜啦，太可爱了！

三十来岁了，在电影院一本正经看小时候看的动画片，想必那些滑稽的片段童年看时我应该只会哈哈大笑，现在我不会笑了，而是不住地感叹幽默桥段、画面和搞笑动作设计的是多么有创意。在被日漫和美漫统治的今天，看到曾经的国产动画是这样有自己的风格和特点，无法不去惋惜它的凋落。“不重复别人，不重复自己”，这是主创人员督促自己艺术创作的信条，或许也可以是现在国产动画创作者遵循的准则。
和《大闹天宫》以孙悟空在花果山另立山头，建立造反根据地的结尾相比，《天书奇谭》已经显示出后革命时代的症候了——没有出路。袁公被押回天庭，蛋生无非替天行道，皇帝治下的人间变得更加太平了。
25年依然经典
小时候看的，虽然很久远了，但是知道当时觉得特别赞，哈哈。那个时候我 还年幼
上影厂在那个年代出了很多经典，技术是40年以前的，内核却是永恒的。“老虎吃人才好玩儿”细思极恐。结局有点懵。
“奇、趣、美”，“探民族风格之路，敲喜剧样式之门”；
这样伪科学、反廉政、毁三观的动画真的适合孩子看吗？
每每看到“上海美术电影制片厂出品”这几个字，往往只能哀叹今不如昔。
抱歉，我只看到了34分钟。该影片的主人公是那么的乏味 尬笑 自愚 ……
小时候最喜欢的动画,没想到这么大了再重看还是这么有意思.
《天书奇谭》当然是一部很不错的动画片，比《哪吒之魔童降世》要强很多，但似乎被捧得太高了。这里的一个重要原因，是袁公的形象，符合八十年代知识分子的自我想象，孤傲，怀才不遇，只有自己才能救苍生……当然，现在我们都知道了，实际情况和知识分子的自我想象相去甚远，也许犬儒才是知识分子的主要特征。
