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.
一部电影舞台剧。神神叨叨，神神叨叨地用大量独白来说明自己的内心话，讲述一个简单的弑君篡权的故事。这种电影或者这种舞台剧我真的欣赏不来，舞台剧不是应该更加体现表演的张力的吗？可我看不到欲望、愤怒、恐惧、悲哀，只是一个个木头人在装神弄鬼，神神叨叨……
OH MY Troye.谁不怀念放荡不羁爱自由 敢爱敢恨的少年时代呢？！
美国对于上大学前夕的准大学生生活一览，这次的主角是一位Homo。
是那种看五分钟和看一百零五分钟感受不会有太大区别的电影，我们已经知道莎翁是如何做的了，但乔尔·科恩并没有给出不一样（不见得是更好，但应该是更新）的东西。女巫造型挺像《第七封印》里的死神。
用有色人种演员和不从属于任何历史时代的布景与服装来表现故事的超现实性，又以极具象征性的光线运用突出画面中的人物，呓语般的自言自语是人物的行为如同梦靥，从美学的角度上讲，这部电影可谓极具观赏性。
2021版麦克白(不想数之前有多少版了)，值得一说的大概是这算是科恩兄弟分家之后 科恩哥哥的单飞之作？另外就是极简主义的舞台剧式布景和极佳的黑白摄影，以及值得称道的男女主角的表演。Period.
又是限定夏日男同爱情题材😴几个MV(?)桥段倒拍得挺好 但总体还是太无聊了些（看完很难不连夜下单高帮白匡威
了不起的cp哈哈哈售后真的牛 床我能盘出浆
先看的所谓的甜蜜番外，还可以吧，一直在看脸
字面意义的好看，但内容和形式存在一种割裂感。"I am in this earthly world, where to do harm is often laudable, to do good sometime accounted dangerous folly."
戳在里面的搭配好清新小男生，眼睛好好看！所以这片子就是为了提醒我们不要恋爱脑，男人靠不住吗……前面小糖水还是很甜的，最后竟然无反转
又是一版极具风格化的《麦克白》。与库泽尔版大量的苏格兰实地取景相反，科恩兄这次回归了既表现主义又极简的棚拍美学，表演风格也很大程度上加强了影片的舞台感。但总体来说改编的还是有些太中规中矩了，两位主演异于寻常的“高龄”也并未如预料中的那样带来新的解读，表演最为出彩的反而是饰演女巫的Kathryn Hunter和饰演Ross的Alex Hassell。同时也几乎看不到过往科恩的影子，也许这标志着单飞以后的新阶段？
好叭原来不是 还好还好
这是大家都熟悉的歌手兼演员戳爷主演的同性新片，电影里有很多镜头都是怼脸拍，但是戳爷的美貌依然让人炫目。
比预期的差一点，三星半吧。主要是蜘蛛巢城太牛逼了已经想象不到任何别的改编能比那个更好的，科恩did try。stage感很重的黑白景取作表现主义幕布，用在莎翁上不能说不合适，只是有点expectable？表演倒挺不错的，算是在了英式和美式之间取得了一种平衡。
眼镜别去，甜茶呀。戳爷演技可以啊，我莫不是带了有色眼镜！
剧场不可模拟特别在于观众对演出的自主选择，可以选择看这里，可以选择那样看，可以选择哪天看，选择都会影响呈现效果，但是电影不能，哪怕这样的也不行，这片子没哪里不好，只是像一个防腐过的、塞了棉花的、精致的，尸体标本。
哎呦喂，没想到脸蛋和声音都这么完美的小戳还这么会演😍 真的很吃这种夏日少年向耽美～享受哇！
戳的眼睛是不是东海龙珠？每一个拉得很近的镜头里他眨一下眼我都觉得触电。春天看夏天的影片，但好在其实它并不是传统青春甜腻味儿。Can summer love last forever? Of course it cannot!
三星半，在2021年的片子里看到这么表现主义的置景还挺惊喜的，构图及镜头调度也都是极简的阴森和神秘，舞台感十足的同时也不乏电影艺术。与之不太相称的是表演吧，特别是两位主演，撇开肤色和口音不谈，我个人感觉华盛顿和弗朗西斯肢体和台词都通俗感太强，特别是很多靠着两人独白起范儿的段落都觉得劲道不够。
