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.
对理查德刻画得很不丰满，以及看完之后对我毫无触动（电影中看到的，纪录片已经告诉了我），只觉得是看了一场大杂烩~ 聚焦点都在理查德身上并且我并没有从这位父亲身上产生共情，遗憾
家庭教育+体育励志+政治正确 很难不获奖了
很平平无奇的传记片，威尔就像那种最普通的父亲，拼了老命一直给孩子提供各种可能性。
美国的传记电影好在愿意把主角的争议摆出来而不是一味高大上。另外，那些花钱把小孩送进各种培训班却坐在外面玩手机的家长真应该向人家学一下，你要求小孩变成什么样的人，首先你要成为这样的人。
本来是要打发时间随便看看的 被这个信念坚定到近乎偏执的父亲角色带进去了
其实和近些年黑人片比，这电影中种族问题的插入算是难得的丝滑有序，甚至有几场极好的戏。但两姐妹成长的线就真的一团稀烂，除了絮叨一堆并不高明的台词以外毫无对策，两个小演员也明显不太行
Will Smith的影di大概率是那一耳光扇出来的😅
个人评价：
作为非洪粉，甚至洪黑，三星都给敏后了。太逆天了，这真的是在拍电影吗？还是在秀恩爱？洪在摄影机后面和敏后互相表露爱意，为了敏后和她手中的花而将影像转为了彩色。像室外等所有高光区域全部过曝这种问题，是铁定的技术瑕疵啊，虽然我知道他也不care… 从电影节抢人的角度来看，那柏林是相当成功了，为自己争夺嫡系作者，从而建立稳固关系，按照近几年柏林这么疯狂的给奖，下一次还不得给洪金熊？另外洪的这种创作方式和制作模式在疫情的大环境之下确实体现出了优越性。
当幸福来敲门的鸡血励志复制到这里突然感觉有点变味了，配合打人事件，感觉很值得玩味
2p smoke, compliment-3p cafe, compli-3p wine, compli, sang-soo self-compli-3p walk, compli each other-Minhee show up, compli Minhee-2p left 1p show up, compli, 2p lunch, compli-5p wine, compli-2p smoke, compli, 3p drink too much, male-gaze Minhee-Minhee watch film, 3p wait, compli-Minhee play flower, male-gaze Minhee, music, color, Minhee out, end
结尾处理的比《摔跤吧》高级，出淤泥而不染和名利双收本就是矛盾体。
还鸠巢鹊占了梅西教练的学院
典型美食鸡汤片，有一说一，老威廉姆斯有这么多戏吗？还是非要强行加戏，史皇这表演都不如《当幸福来敲门》，特别寡淡，谁来都能演。
跟着剧情走我也很不理解父亲的计划，走到最后才惊愕这一盘大棋。Smith温和锋利的演技确实影帝。片尾bgm+原人物更加震撼
知道名字叫理查德，但是没办法还是想看大威小威，虽然她们充当了背景板。世界前二，多次女单决赛对决是她们，女双冠军是她们，还能有这样的传奇吗。
柏林電影節。 努力秀恩愛的一部，也算是這對couple對當下生活狀態的自嘲（積極的）。不過，不知道洪尚秀是否真的在拍攝或者寫腳本的時候有那麼多念頭，看諸位寫的點評，估計導演自己都沒想到這片子能表達那麼多吧。名不副實，也理解不了為什麼能拿銀熊獎。
非常工整的一部传记片，故事节奏人物都工整到没话讲，will的演绎更是满分！（奥斯卡你发发善心。最后影片落脚到了种族和女性鼓励的点上是非常取巧的行为，毕竟把king已经大剌剌写在了标题。父权的压迫，偏执，却让两姐妹走向了成功，不得不说，是这个世界太荒谬，而女孩成长的弑父总是表现得温情。她们还是成功了不是吗！妈妈的角色其实才是真的心灵的后盾。最后，还是祝福will一举夺魁！也希望所有的族裔的女孩也可以受到鼓舞，但也可以自由成长。
史密斯演技下了功夫，但是剧本有些做作过头了，老头子像上帝一样自信反倒让人觉得假，3.0
C-. 颁奖季最陈腐平庸的“八股文”范文。明明是聚焦大小威成长过程的网球电影，却全然沉溺于兜售成功学的鸡汤，对运动也沦为完全机械性与程式化的展示。存在的唯一价值就是让威尔·史密斯冲奥，但相比其他影帝竞争者，这样的表演本身也太无聊了。
